A dessert does not have to be a project. Most of the puddings below are made from things you already have in the house, and a good few of them simply sit in the fridge for a couple of hours while you do something else.

There are quick ones for a weeknight, like banana ice cream you blend in five minutes, and there are ones you make when people are coming round, like tiramisu or panna cotta. Each dessert shows how many it serves and how long it takes, including the time it spends chilling.
