How about a Magic Pudding?
You will need a large capacity blender, and an 8" (20cm) pie dish.
Ingredients:- 4 Eggs, 2 oz (50g) Butter, 8 oz (225g) Sugar, 2 oz (50g) Self Raising Flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind, 4 fl. oz (120ml) Lemon Juice, 12 fl. oz (360ml) Milk, 3 0z (75g) Dessicated Coconut.
Method:- Put all the ingredients into the blender, and whizz for 2 - 3 mins. Pour into a greased pie dish, and bake on Gas mk 4 (350f or 180c) for about 1 hour, and the top is golden brown.
Serve warm with a dollop of double cream. Yummy.
This pudding when cooked will magically have a pastry base, custard middle, and a lovely lemony/coconut topping, which it will have done all by itself. That's Magic! Enjoy.

I make a Sopiapilla Cheescake that is really good.
2 (8 ounce) cans crescent rolls
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup sugar
Topping
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350.
In an 8 x 11 dish, unroll 1 can of crescent rolls, making 1 solid layer.
Cream together 1 cup sugar and cream cheese. Pour over crescent rolls.
Unroll other can of crescent rolls to form top crust. Pour melted butter over top of crescent rolls.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and 3/4 cup of sugar.
Bake in 350 oven until crescent rolls are done.
Take 500 grams of cottage cheese, three to four eggs, vanilla, half a cup or more sugar, chocolate or fruit, process til smooth, bake at 125-150 Celsius. Quick and easy cheesecake. Healthier than what you have been doing.
Works well with milk too. but then its called pudding.

This is a hit for anyone that likes peanut butter....
Peanut Butter Pie
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 container cool whip
1/4 c. chopped peanuts(optional)
1 vanilla wafer crumb crust(graham cracker crust can be substituted)
Whip cream cheese until soft. Add powdered sugar and peanut butter. Slowly add milk and fold in cool whip. Pour into crust. Sprinkle peanuts on top. Freeze 2-3 hours.
Optional- put chocolate syrup on top 20 min. before serving.
Here's a fun & easy one using just a food processor, no baking - Chocolate truffles:
1 square unsweetened baker's chocolate
Handful of almonds
Honey
1/2 tsp of vanilla
Cinnamon
First, process just a few almonds down to tiny little bits, place in a bowl for after.
Then, process the chocolate & almonds completely. Add a healthy amount of cinnamon, to taste. I put in a lot, but I really really love cinnamon. *smile*
Next, add in the vanilla and a little bit of honey, process for just a few seconds to mix together. Then add enough honey that when you process it for 15-20 seconds, it starts to stick to itself, creating a big ball. (If you didn't add enough the first time for it to stick together, you can always add more and continue processing, works just fine this way.)
Separate into bite-sized pieces and roll into smooth balls. Roll into the almonds from the first step above, and you're done!
Makes 10-12 truffles, recipe can easily be doubled/tripled, as needed. Store at room temperature. They can be refrigerated if you want to make them in advance, but then let them sit out for an hour or so before serving. I find they taste better at room temperature.
Enjoy! :)
Fudge Brownie
300 gms Butter (approx 10 ? ounces)
1 ? cups Cocoa
3 ? cups Sugar
? tspn Salt
7 Eggs
? tspn Vanilla
1? cups All purpose flour
2 cups Chocolate chips (I use Hersheys)
Melt the butter completely. Pour onto cocoa in mixer and combine. Add Sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix on High speed until colour lightens slightly (approx 5 minutes)
Add flour salt and chocolate chips and mix until just combined. Pour into a 32X23X5cm lined baking pan and bake for approx 65 mins at 150C/300F.
The cake should crack slightly around the edges but still be soft to the touch. Allow to cool before cutting. Store in an airtight container
I use this as a dessert, cut into wedges and served with unsweetened cream (not the canned junk) and fresh berries.
