Help! I need a simple hot dessert recipie, stat!!

[CanuckAmok]

I, the notoriously unskilled in the kitchen CanuckAmok, havwe been invited to my neighbours' for dinner tomorrow afternoon. I have to make a hot dessert...

can anyone suggest something simple and fun, which can be prepared with someone who rides the short bus to the grocery store?

1. Candied habaneros?

Just kidding.
Why a "hot" dessert?

[CanuckAmok]

3. hot in temperature...

like a creme brulee or something. Just not Jello with grapes suspended in it.

7. Chocolate covered cayenne sounds nice

2. absolutely

slice up a store bought pound cake
toast slices in 350 degree oven for about 2 minutes
spread a little marscapone cheese on the warm slices
in a bowl, mix apricot jam with a couple tablespoons Amaretto
place a dollop of jam on top of cheese
sprinkle with almond pieces

4. Warm Peach cobbler.

Go to the cake mix aisle and get one of those cobbler in the box things. The look pretty good, esp the peach.

If you wanted to be really special, you could sub fresh peaches for the canned ones in the box. But really, a nice, warm fruit dessert ... you can't go wrong. Especially if you serve it with vanilla ice cream

5. Take some berries

combination of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or whatever in any combination, heat in a saucepan with sugar to taste, may need to add a bit of water or better yet - a fruity liqueur. Serve warm over pound cake slices with whipped dream.

Simple and yummy.

6. Apple Crisp

Peel and slice enough apples to fill a casserole.

Mash together with your fingers:

1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Sprinkle on top of apples. Bake at whatever temperatue the main course is baking at until it looks done--somewhere between half an hour and an hour. It'll be browned on top.

Very simple. Almost impossible to mess up.

8. Bread pudding is easy...so is the sauce

Chocolate Bread pudding

1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
2 c 1-inch bread cubes

Warm the milk to scalding point prior to combining all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Combine all ingredients...then place in a greased baking pan..bake in oven at 325 for one hour. Let cool for 15 - 20 minutes.

Sauce

Bread Pudding Sauce

9. Try a Bread Pudding.....

Search results from Foodtv.com:

http://web.foodnetwork.com/food/web/searchResults?searchString=Bread+Pudding&site=FOOD&searchType=Recipe

Look them over and pick out what you like about some and combine the ideas.

Add fruit (Blueberries, Strawberries, etc.) Liquor (Bourbon, Amaretto, etc.) and go for it!

They are nothing but a simple custard poured over bread cubes and baked.

on edit to say... DAMN! NSMAM beat me to it!...Brilliant minds think alike?

11. I still don't get it.

Maybe I'm just nit-picky today.
Miz t. sez "We'd love to come. Can I bring anything?"
"Sure. Why don't you bring dessert?"
Not "bring a 'hot' dessert", just dessert.
Not "Yes, please bring a creme brulee", just please bring a dessert.
You're doing something nice for us. The choice is yours to make.
Maybe I got up on the wrong side of the bed.
:shrug:

12. Well, southerners

are quite light on specific requests, I agree with you there.

"Just bring a dessert. We'll be happy with whatever you bring."

But we don't know the full conversation here. Maybe the rest of the meal is cold and dessert should be warm. Or maybe there's a hot and a cold dessert. :shrug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. Naah...you're just a southerner

North of the Mason Dixon line we say, "Yes bring a hot dessert."

In the south, you say, "sure bring a dessert (generic)" knwoing full well you want a hot dessert because you already have a cold dessert..and when it shows up you say, "How nice" when what you really mean is "I was hoping for pecan pie" :D

[supernova]

14. NSMA, stop it!

Bread pudding. Pecan pie.

You're making me wish I still ate all that stuff. :9 :P

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. If there are THREE things it's hard to get right anywhere but the south,

it's:
Pecan Pie
Lemon Merengue Pie
and
Key Lime Pie

maybe it's in y'all's genes

[supernova]

16. Merengue?!?

You are trying to seduce me aren't you?

I love a really great merengue pie. My grandma made Lemon and chocolate equally well. :9 :9 :9 :9 :9

17. What about banana?

They just never get the marshmellowy feel right up here

[supernova]

18. Bananas are for

Banana pudding.

Woo Hoo! That's a great heart-warmer for sure.

[trof]

19. S'cuse me while I continue to whup on this expired equine.

I never heard of hot dessert until today.
The only hot dessert I'm likely to have is here at home if we eat the thing right out of the oven.
Any cake, pie, etc. we take to a friend's house will be at room temp by the time we get to it. Unless it's something that has to be refridgerated so it stays cold and...um...you know...ah...

OK, OK, I give.
:silly:

20. Damn you really are a grump today!

Mrs T make you take the trash out or something?

[trof]

22. Confession:

Maybe...just maybe...a teeny-tiny itsy-bitsy miniscule touch of a hangover?
Always seems to make me anal and stuff.
I'm willing to be forgiven.
;-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. I love you grumpy, hungover, lecturing (inside joke)

or just plain old Trof being Trof...and maybe a hair of the dog that bit you is in order? (just one now! )
