Desserts!

oooohh icing! ok i got icing sugar...but how do u make a nice icing? i dont have any chocolate to shave..what about chocolate powder from my cappucino thingy?

That will do nicely.
Mix about 1 cup of icing sugar with 1 tablespoon of butter/marg and about 1 tablespoon of milk (you may need to add more milk), mix it all together with a fork until it is all come together in a thick paste. Put it on the muffins and put some chocolate powder in a sifter and sift over the top.

yay thanks so much!!!!!!

oh sherie i forgot to ask! do i need to wait till the muffins are cool?

Yes Danni wait until the icing is cool, otherwise it will run all over the place and make a mess

I hope your friends enjoy them

thanks! but i mean should i wait until the muffins are cool?

yes, you should - the heat from the muffins will make the icing run.

ok it was delicious!!! yay thanks :D

Hey guys,

I need a nice and easy but impressive dessert to take to a dinner party.

It cannot contain cream.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any custard recipes? Id love a tiramisu that could be done with custard?

thanks guys xx

I don't know if you could do tiramisu with custard. As tiramisu has mascapone cheese and cream in it. You could do a trifle and leave the cream off the top. Ummm some kind of pie. Apple crumble, you could take custard to go on the top. Ummmm a self saucing pudding. Bread and butter pudding which has an egg custard base.
