This Upside Down Pudding recipe is made with fresh berries served on a delicious sponge and is truly scrumptious served with a drizzle of cream or homemade custard. For the fruit we've opted for strawberries, raspberries and blueberries but aim for berries which are in season as these will have the most flavour and be the freshest. This is a lovely light dessert perfect for summer after a barbeque.

Our Date and Walnut Pudding recipe is wonderfully rich and sticky, almost like a Sticky Toffee Pudding but with a few&nbsp;more dates thrown for good measures. The sauce is part of the pud so when you turn it out upside down you get a tasty rich sauce on top of a sticky sweet pudding. Don't worry if the mixture looks curdled, once baked the pudding will turn out just fine. If you're looking for an alternative treat for the festive season why not turn it into a Date and Walnut Christmas Pudding with a little brandy added to the mix?

Banana crunch pudding 

"Chocolate fondants have a horrible reputation of being among the scariest desserts to bake. It took me until my late twenties to even attempt this beast. I want to tell you it went horribly wrong, that it was an inedible disaster. But I’m sorry to say it went really well, and it always has. This is a safe and easy recipe for a melt-in-the-middle sensation. Crusty on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside with the distinctive, lingering aroma of anise."
