It's that time of week again...Top Five Friday! I
On Sunday Brad & I will be making Desserts to take to his parents house for Mothers Day Dinner. Here are my top five favourite Desserts.
5. Torta Di More. Brads Mum, Fi makes this Tart from a Jamie Oliver recipe. It is delicious. Fi uses Amaretto instead of Grappa and we often call it 'Boozy pie' as she can be a tad heavy handed with the bottle - not that we mind.
4. Meringue Nests. My mum used to make these for our Birthday Parties as kids, every year without fail. She made them bright pink, filled with whipped cream and topped with heaps of sprinkles. I still love them exactly the same, but if I take them as my 'plate' somewhere I leave out the pink & replace the sprinkles with a chocolate-coated berry.
3. Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding. I have an amazingly easy, yet gorgeous recipe from a cookbook my Grandparents gave me for my seventh Birthday. It is so fudgy & deliciously comforting on a cold winter night. I used to make this when I lived in a flat in Kingston, Wellington. There were seven of us living there and five of them were boys. This massive, pudding claims to serve ten - but there were never any leftovers. Which is a shame because it's even better re-heated the next day.
2. Cheesecake. Oh the possibilities with this little lovely. I love it all - from Crofters Boysenberry Cheesecake to a New York style baked beauty. My favourite would have to be a Lemon Cheesecake - using my Nans recipe.
1. Tiramisu. If this is on the menu when we go out for dinner - I'm getting it. Without fail. I love this Dessert so much, that I am to afraid to try and make my own for fear of a) epic failure or b) epic win - epic scoff. The best one I've had so far is from a casual little restaurant down in Paraparaumu Beach called Lakota.
P.S Still in my concert Coma, and isn't this the most delish Music Video ever?
