when its summer or winter? I like a nice warm apple crumble in winter and perhaps a creme caramel during the summer. How about you guys? Is there a dessert you eat both hot and cold seasons?

I like a chocolate self saucing or sticky date pudding in Winter and either tiramisu or lemon tart (or lemon anything) in the Summer.

I am very fond of grilled stonefruit,cut in half and cooked on the barbecue,or baked in the oven(with a vanilla pod) and served with a light white wine syrup and creme fraiche/good vanilla icecream.It's a very tasty and easy dessert for a barbecue.Or fresh pineapple sliced into rings,marinated in a liquer,and grilled.I'm also a creme brulee or panacotta fan.
Another easy summer pud is a tin of black doris plums,drain the juice into a small saucepan,add 3-4 whole cloves,2 TBS sugar and a good slosh of brandy.Bring to the boil,turn down to a simmer and cook until reduced to a light syrup.Pour over the reserved plums and chill overnight.Remove the cloves and serve with coffee cream: dissolve 1TBS instant coffee in cream and add to 300mls whipped cream.Stir through evenly and freeze.
In winter I like fruit crumbles,lemon anything and also tamarillos.

Creme caramel makes me sick :( so tasty, so sad... Ice cream for cold... trite, I know, but it tastes so good!! Hot caramel puddings with butterscotch sauce for hot... yum!

hmm thats interestin! seems like most people like a fruit based dessert (apple crumble, etc) and 'comfort' like desserts. Im just waiting to see if there's a dessert that transcends all seasons.. seems like its ice cream

My favourite winter is Sticky Date Pudding or my own Apple Torte pudding. My favourite summer is Pavlova or fresh fruit salad.

Sticky date pudding for winter and fruit salad for summer. Both with icecream or cream.
I used to buy gingernut icecream which was superb with date pudding.

If you own a business or run a restaurant, would you serve a cold dessert in winter and a hot dessert in summer? Or would you just stick to convention and serve cold in summer, hot in winter?

Pavlova all year round. Especially nice if it has been decorated and left in the fridge for a day. Yum yum.

I make a lovely ginger and golden syrup spongey pud in winter (and obligatory any fruit crumble ... so easy!) also love lemon rice pudding mmmmm.For summer you just can't go past fresh strawberries with vanilla icecream.My mum use to soak them the strawberries in sherry or brandy and some icing sugar ... IMO only for mature taste buds

Well with the winter pud's I remember my mum's Golden Syrup Pudding (don't have recipe - if someone has please give to me I would appreciate). Apart from that good old apple pie / crumble and of course steamed pudding with custard sauce.
