Secret Restaurant Dessert Recipes Are A Sweet Find

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Stephanie @ 7:55 pm
Sarah Sandori asked:




Did you know that some of the hardest restaurant recipes to obtain are those for desserts? It’s true.

The big chain restaurants spend time and money creating special “signature” dessert treats. In many cases they invest more in coming up with a new twist on a gooey double-fudge ice cream cake than they do in figuring out more ways to dress up their hamburgers. It just makes economic sense.

Loyal patrons of a given restaurant may really like the hamburgers, or the pasta, but it’s those sinful desserts that often draw them back, meal after meal. Truly, a magnificent dessert can be the most addictive item on the menu.

That’s why, as I’ve discovered through my own research, getting a recipe for a restaurant’s top dessert item can be extremely difficult. But remember, it is just a recipe, after all–a list of ingredients plus instructions on how to put them together.

As I’ve written previously, the most direct way to obtain recipes for a restaurant’s menu offerings–even desserts–is to ask. Often, though, you’ll be politely rejected. Or, the manager might just vaguely tell you something like, “Well, it’s just some vanilla ice cream and a little hot fudge and some nuts and a cherry,” while leaving out important details: Whose vanilla ice cream? How is the fudge heated? Etc. Often there will be some secret ingredient that he will conveniently neglect to mention at all.

I’m grateful therefore to the many unsung heroes of the Internet who have done the detective work to discover the exact recipes used to create some of the most mouth-watering restaurant desserts in America–and who have shared them with the world.

If your favorite restaurant serves up an especially tempting dessert that you’re just dying to get the recipe for, chances are you can find it on the Web. You just need to put your best search skills to work and be persistent. Someone out there has it–and has either posted it for free on some chat board or has put it into an inexpensive e-book along with other so-called top-secret recipes.

This is the information age, after all. And really, what more crucial information is there to us foodies than the knowledge to duplicate our favorite sinful desserts right in our own kitchens?

AuntieKJ asked:


I just bought a fresh coconut and I have a recipe for making coconut milk from the juice and some of the meat too. But I haven’t been able to locate any good recipes to use it. I already have the recipes for cakes, puddings, and custards. I was hoping to find something like dessert bars or something else yummy. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I don’t have an ice cream maker. But I wish I did.

Malva Pudding – South African Dessert Recipe

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Stephanie @ 11:59 pm
Kit Heathcock asked:




Almost every restaurant in Cape Town has Malva Pudding on its dessert menu. It is one of those ubiquitous dishes that one has to side-step diplomatically, as a tour manager organising menus for a week of dinners for clients on walking holidays. If you’re not careful you could end up with a gastronomic tour of Cape Town’s Malva Puddings! That’s not to say that it is not a good dessert choice. It is rich, delicious and indulgent and has to be tasted at least once on a gourmet tour of Cape Town. Along with many other traditional South African dishes it gives a nod to the Netherlands for its origins. Essentially a rather homely baked cakey pudding, its restaurant version soaks itself in a rich, creamy sauce to take on a mantle of decadence, while elegant versions serve themselves up with a few poached apricots alongside too.

No-one seems to know where the name Malva pudding came from – suggestions range from a traditional accompaniment of Malvasia wine, a heavy dessert wine, to a woman named Malva creating it back in the mists of time.

I tried out my sister-in-law’s recipe to make a dessert to follow our Sunday lunch of roast chicken and roast potatoes. Hers is a home version rather than restaurant one and gives details for the cake without drenching it in the creamy sauce. It produces a comforting cross-between steamed pudding and cake, with a tantalising hint of the apricot jam that flavours it and a pleasing, almost caramelly overtone. It is served warm with custard and cream alongside. Leaving out the stage of drenching it with the sauce makes it a lot less rich and calorific, but does mean that you can eat a lot more of it!

Malva Pudding Recipe

Serves 6-8

1 heaped tablespoon butter

3 heaped tablespoons apricot jam

1 egg

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
