What Are Your 3 Favorite Desserts?

Mr naf’s favourite! Even better with additional candied nuts!

I don’t know about this one, it looks delicious, remind me of some German and Austrian layer cakes.

Oh! I need one.

The hardened caramel layer on the top was the best part!

I love flan too. My Aunt follows the Goya Brand recipe. What’s your method?

Turned Rooster’s butterscotch pudding into a pie, topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce. Pudding component itself was delish. The pie, to me needed a different textural element to it, such as toasted pecans in bottom of pie, or scattered over the top. Although I cut sugar to mitigate the sweetness of the brown sugar bourbon, I could have cut it even more. Overall a success & I do love butterscotch! So highly recommend Rooster’s pudding recipe! Here is a pic -

Maybe a graham cracker crust but I have only enjoyed it as pudding. Yours Looks nice.

My method has been to buy it from places that make it! But I might try your aunt’s recipe. Is this it?

Yes. It’s super simple and once chilled holds up to slicing. My Aunt uses a 9x5 glass loaf pan. For a quick flan it’s tasty. Oh and she doubles the liquid sugar topping layer.

Thanks. I’ll have to give it a try!

Thanks again for the recipe @Rooster! I definitely wouldn’t use a graham cracker crust, personally, because of the sweetness in the graham crackers. The pie pastry provided that bit of salt needed for the 3 sweet elements of the pie. I was bad last night and ate the last piece, which I topped with roasted, salted macadamia nuts. Perfection!
The pudding itself is flawless and really easy to bang out fast!

I like that you made the pudding and the pie your own! A good/reliable recipe is always worth sharing but putting our own spin is even better…and imho the point.
