Fruit

Pretty-in-pink meringue nests topped with soft vanilla cream, fresh mint and juicy summer peaches poached in a rosé and brown sugar syrup

Pair fruity mango and aromatic cardamom in this creamy yogurt mousse, inspired by the flavours of an Indian lassi. Set in glasses and keep in the fridge until it’s pudding time

A hidden layer of tart passion fruit perfectly complements the tropical flavours of coconut. Mango or pineapple compote would work equally well.

Sweet red fruits and a splash of amaretto give this pudding an Italian spin. Soak the fruit the day before – and make sure your pudding basin fits your slow cooker!

Sloe gin and prunes give this year's Christmas pudding a distinctly British update!

This favourite regional recipe is similar to a French clafoutis, but with a spongier texture

Clafoutis is a pudding that originates from Limousin in south central France. Traditionally made with cherries, it works just as well with plump seasonal plums. Serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche

Part ice cream, part cheesecake? Don’t mind if we do. This is a great little prep-ahead number for all of your summer entertaining needs. Simply remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. You can play with the fruit; blackberries, cherries or strawberries would all ripple well here

Can’t decide between cake or crumble? Have both! Fruity compote is sandwiched between two layers of moist almond sponge, then topped with a crunchy almond crumble; perfect with an afternoon cuppa
