I have had my Tm for two whole weeks now and have some people coming to dinner on Saturday night that I really want to impress. (One of them is a potential TM buyer and very dear to me)
This will be the first time I have cooked for anyone, other than my husband, using my new TM.
I am going to make soup with bread rolls, then a quiche with salad and then a pudding. All done in the TM, I hope. My question is: can anyone recommend a reliable but delicious pudding that I could make earlier in the day or the day before?
I have gathered loads of recipes from this lovely forum but just cannot choose between them, having never made most of them before. I don't mind if it's a hot or cold dessert. I know one of you clever owners will come up with a failsafe for me. Thanks so much.

And when you are serving coffee after dinner offer these
Sugar Coated Almonds (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=8226.0) or this
Cookies and Cream Fudge (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5062.0) ;)

Good ideas there CC. I have now discovered the nutella tart. Looks great.
Another idea would be the mocchacino brownie added recently. Make the brownie the day before, make the sauce just before serving.
-
Great idea DG,here's the link Mocchacino Brownie (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12416.msg257019#new) :)

I have made the Swedish ice cream cake many times - easy, fail proof and yummy!
-
Sure is courton and you can serve it with raspberry coulis or chocolate/ caramel sauce. I love it with a peppermint crisp blitzed in thermomix and sprinkled on top.

A great dessert to have in the freezer at any time for unexpected or planned guests is farfallina's Chocolate Souffle (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3675.0) which CC has already mentioned - you make it to the baking stage and freeze it. It goes straight from the freezer into the oven for 15 minutes and then you have little chocolate puddings with a gooey chocolate centre.
Chookie's Queen of Puddings (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3372.0) is another favourite here - so easy too.
Trudy's Peaches & Cream Dessert (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6674.0) is also very delicious and easy - as you can tell, I like easy dessert recipes ;D

I am going to be different. I prefer the salted caramel fudge (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11667.0).

Oh, wow, thankyou all so much.
What a kind and thoughtful bunch you are.
You all make owning a TM even better than it already is.
I shall pick one (or even two) of the puds you have recommended and report back.
I have just started my prep. by making Parsnip & Apple Soup. It tastes absolutely gorgeous and just right for this freezing weather.
Thanks again everyone.

Past94x, I always offer 2 sweets. It provides a real luxury feel to the finish of the meal. Thanks for asking this question as we are having special visitors this week and I am having problems with too many good make ahead choices.
-
Just wanted to know how whether your supper party was a success past94x ;D
-
Yes, thankyou for asking, it was.
I made Parsnip and Apple soup, bread rolls, lovely quiche lorraine (the Tm is a true star here) with Jacket potatoes and salad, banoffie pie (lovely) and a sherry trifle (using the TM to make a lovely real custard), cheese & biscuits, coffee and lots of chocolates brought as a gift by one of my guests. Needless to say, I went to bed a size larger.
I had to stop half way through getting supper, to show the guests the TM in action. They were gathered around it and wouldn't take no for an answer. I just chopped and cooked an onion. They were amazed at the power it has and also, how small the TM is for what it actually does. My husband wanted me to show them how it makes a brilliant sorbet, but I had enough to do with getting the supper on the table, so said I would demo it another time.
Thank you again, for all your suggestions for a dessert. I have filed them away somewhere safe, for use on another evening.
I'd love to get peoples views on a reliable starter and main course too. So, if anyone has a few minutes to spare and can suggest something for either category that can be relied on for entertaining, I'd be most grateful. I'm sure lots of other owners would be interested too.
By the way, I have just made the "30 second,whole orange cake"again and it is a truly scrumptious cake and, as the name suggests, is in the oven in a jiffy. I just cannot believe you use the skin etc, but the result is lovey. I am going to make the sausage and apple risotto for dinner tonight. My first time with a risotto.
