Baileys Cheesecake

Soft, airy and oh so creamy, the Baileys cheesecake at

The Club Bar and Dining Restaurant in Soho is a

perfect example of a sophisticated and indulgent

alcoholic pud. The sweeter-than-sweet chocolate and

caramel base with rich Irish cream filling twists the

familiar creamy tipple and turns it into a fluffy, and

incredibly moreish treat.

Cocktail Sundaes

Mmmmmm. Fancy a scoop or two of refreshingly cold

alcohol-infused ice cream? Then head to The Parlour at

Fortnum & Mason to satisfy these frosty cravings.

Choose from raspberry ripple with liquor swirls, navy rum

and raisin, and a delicious bellini sorbet, and allow

yourself to be turned into a spoilt child.

Red Wine Poached Pears

Alcohol and fruit is a classic combo and one

that leaves you feeling pretty much guilt-free.

Check out Waitrose’s red wine poached

pears for a dessert that will see you getting

one of your five a day without you even

realising. The red wine syrup is thick, sugary

and so good you’ll find yourself camping

outside the store for your next hit.

Classic Tiramisu

An absolute classic that guarantees you’ll end

up with a cream-covered face, and lips left

tingling with marsala wine. Pretty much every

supermarket worth its salt has its own version

of this Italian classic, but we particularly like

the Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference version,

as it’s both rich yet implausibly smooth.

Mojito Fudge

Not technically a pudding but definitely a sweet treat

that’s perfect for finishing off a heavy meal. The new

Mojito flavoured version from Jim Garrahy’s Fudge

Kitchen melts in the mouth and has a zingy and fresh

taste that leaves you with a subtly sweet flavour on the

tongue. Pair it with Pimms to bring out the flavour then

just sit back and dream of white sandy beaches and

sun-drenched rum parties.

Malbec and Berries Ice Cream

Argentine ice cream is hitting the streets of London,

and the flavour we can’t get enough of is Malbec and

Berries. Created by Freggo, this ice cream incorporates

one of Argentina’s greatest home-grown products – the

Malbec grape. Its deep red colour will draw you in and

the plump, full-bodied flavour will leave you pondering

which is really better: a glass of red, or a bowlful of it?

But would it get you sloshed? Well yes, if it included a strong dose of the

good stuff. Even the lady of the ladle herself, Delia Smith, admits:

‘there’s nothing like an alcohol-laden pudding to elicit whoops of

delight’. Perfect for autumn, an alcohol-soaked dessert should leave you

feeling light and refreshed, not lumpy and lardy. So forget those

traditional heavy-as-a-brick desserts and sickly-sweet trifles, we’re

talking elegant, creamy, liquor-infused numbers, sure to make you drool.

Alcopuds

Dessert, sweet, afters... what’s in a name?That which we call a pud by any other name would smell as sweet.
