This is perhaps one of the most useful puddings you can have in your repertoire. Not that it is the job of a pudding to be useful: a pudding exists merely to delight. Still, dinner does need to be made, even when there’s precious little time for it and that should be a delight, too. So here’s the deal: there is pitifully little work to be done to make this berry-dazzler of a tart, and enormous pleasure to be derived from its consumption.

This Turkish yogurt cake is a lightened up dessert that tastes like a luxurious treat. It has a creamy, smooth texture similar to a cheesecake, yet it also has a light, airy quality thanks to the egg whites that are whipped into the batter. The combination of Greek yogurt and the raspberry sauce give it a sweet, tart flavor.
I don’t know if I should apologise for this or boast about it. Either way, I feel you will thank me for it. The thing is, it’s embarrassingly easy to make and unembarrassingly easy to eat. Don’t be tempted to let the cheesecake come to room temperature before serving. It slices and tastes better with a bit of fridge-chill on it. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

Recipe for the Italian classic - torta di ricotta e limone
Cheesecake is a dessert that people don't really mess with: lemon, blueberry or chocolate seem to be the only flavour options.
Subtly spiced with a hint of ground cinnamon and orange zest, it needs nothing more than to be topped with fresh blueberries and dusted with icing sugar.
Found this recipe while looking for an Iraqi chicken and potatoes dish requested in the NA/ME forum. (From chicken to cookies, yes my mind wanders.) Saw this and thought it would be a great addition to 'Zaar for all my cardamom loving friends. The original recipe is from "The World of Jewish Cooking." Posting for some future ZWT.

No baking expertise required. What I love about making these is you don’t need to be an expert baker to make frangipane. Being moist, it’s very forgiving to work with and can be cut into dainty slices without the risk of them falling apart.

I haven't done a tremendous amount of fiddling with this, but I did once make it, for friends who are more chocolate-crazed than I am, by replacing 25g / 3 tablespoons of the flour with good cocoa powder (not drinking chocolate) and adding 100g / 4oz of dark chocolate, cut up into smallish chunks. And you could just as easily use the chocolate chips sold in the baking aisle of supermarkets. If you're thinking about giving this cake to children, don't worry, the alcohol doesn't pervade: you just end up with stickily, aromatically swollen fruit.

Ah, chocolate mousse. The distinctly decadent dessert with a thick and creamy texture and rich, chocolate flavor. It’s the kind of dessert you probably associate with fancy, fine, French dining, but with Betty by your side, it’s achievable right in your own kitchen! The ingredients are simple—eggs, cream, sugar and semisweet baking chocolate. But the secret to the best chocolate mousse recipe is in the technique. Lucky you, the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens have made that part easy. Where Does Chocolate Mousse Come From? Chocolate mousse was first made in France. Surprisingly enough, it was originally invented by the French artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, a famously experimental cook who saw the savory mousses popular at the time, such as foie gras, and had the brilliant idea that they might be a lot tastier with a whole lot of chocolate instead!
The classic British biscuit, home made Custard Creams are even better than the shop bought version.

Now, this is a beauty. I don't mean flash or fancy — rather the opposite; there is something austerely handsome about its appearance, and yet gorgeously warming about its taste. But then, this laid-back Sunday-lunch pudding is what kitchen food is all about. I'm happy to leave the picture-perfect plate-decoration dessert to the professional chef and patissier. When I want to eat one, I'll go to a restaurant. That way, everyone's happy. I don't want to be too prescriptive about this marmalade pudding cake — which has the surprisingly light texture of a steamed sponge — as it doesn't seem in the spirit of things. I love the bitter edge of a thick-shred, dark marmalade and so tend to go for a proper, glamorously auburn, tawny one here; if this is too full-on for you, choose a fine-shred marmalade, instead.

This thick & delish pastry cream can be used to fill cakes, layered desserts, and tarts. Or simply served on its own with your favorite topping.
There is a wonderful poetry to the name of this pudding which, thankfully, once eaten could never be forgotten. It's an old, old recipe popularly exhumed — I believe — by the late, great Richard Sax. Think of it as a kind of marshmallow-based pavlova. That's to say, you whip egg whites as if making meringue, spread on a swiss roll tin (or that's how I make it) and put in an oven which you immediately switch off, leaving the pudding to cook overnight, hence "forgotten".

When I was a judge on MasterChef Australia in 2016, Chloe Bowles, one of the contestants, came up with a batch of quite magnificent gluten-free blondies, and very kindly gave me the recipe; I wasn't going to leave the country without it. I have taken great liberties with it and in the process turned it into a warm, squidgy pudding, to be eaten with a tangy splodge of creme fraiche and a tumble of sharp raspberries. Insistently sweet, it does need the counterbalance. You can, of course, eat them as blondies, in traditional fashion, in which case I'd give them another 5 minutes in the oven, loosely covered with foil. Let them get completely cold, then put in the fridge to chill completely before cutting them into squares. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
