    a big dessert?

    saturday night our church is having a family night and i said i would take a dessert(choice of salad or dessert) and now im stumped as what to make..
    so it has to be large, i would prefer to make egg free as we cant have egg(no custard things or pav but cakes are ok as i can substitute them), something fairly special (as im new i kinda want to impress)
    so far i have been suggested or thought
    lemon tart
    tiramasu
    chocolat crousant(sp) bread and butter pudding

    Apple crumble is quick and easy to make in huge batches. I usually do that for family functions and use tinned apple.

    I do it in my big pyrex lasange dish. I use 2 to 3 cans of apple and double the crumble mixture and put a bowl of whipped cream next to it. It would easily serve 12 people.

    115g (3/4 cup) plain flour
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    180g butter, chilled, cubed
    140g (2/3 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
    35g (1/3 cup) rolled oats


    Combine the flour and 1 tsp of the cinnamon in a large bowl.

    Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

    Stir in the brown sugar and oats.

    Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top to completely cover the apples.

    Bake in 190 degree oven for about 15-20 mins

    Mud cake is always a winner
    Sticky date pudding or cake
    trifles are easy
    Fruit salad with whipped cream is a yummy basic!

    What about Chocolate Ripple cake?

    Grab some pkts of Choc Ripple biscuits, dip them in milk and sandwich with whipped cream. When you've amde the logs, cover all logs with whipped cream. You can then leave as it is or sprinkle a flake or peppermint crisp over the top to make it look fancy

    How about little individual pavs with a variety of different toppings - everyone (well just about) loves a pav! Or if they don't they'd love a caramel tart, yummmmmmm.
