The rain is pouring, it’s cold outside, you’re snug as a bug and cosied up on the couch, but now your sweet tooth has kicked in. Nothing beats a warm, satisfying dessert and whether it’s a pudding or a cake, some things just taste better in winter.
Whether you’re experimenting in the kitchen on a woolly winter day, or you’re after a dish for your dinner party guests, we’ve put together some of our favourite comforting desserts to whip up this winter. From classics to easy and impressive desserts, keep these ideas handy for any occasion.
Salted Peanut Brownie Puddings
A match made in heaven, this is the perfect combination of salty, sweet and rich, rich chocolate. Pour them into individual ramekins for a dinner party, or make one big bowl for the family to tuck into, it’s a win-win for any night of the week. Plus, it’s a one-bowl recipe!
Classic Apple Crumble
Sometimes sticking to the classics is the only option (after all they’re classics for a reason), so if it’s a crumble you’re craving, head to baking icon Donna Hay’s recipe. Her reliable approach to delivering delicious, easy-to-follow dishes will see you off to a sweet start. Another reason this is a winner is the ingredients are mainly pantry staples; just butter, flour and sugar and that means less grocery shopping and more cooking! Last decision remains a simple one: what team are you on - cream or ice-cream?
