My mother used to cook queen pudding.I didn't like it then, but it is a sort of more elegant bread and butter pudding and if he likes that sort of pudding it would be good.
here is the recipe for Crème Brûléefom world kitchen tv show please not this makes about 8 ramekins
Crème Brûlée (burnt cream) This is a fantastic dessert that is easy and delicious. They are best made the day before and the tops “burnt” 30 minutes before your guests arrive.
You will need: 800ml cream 6 Tbsp caster sugar 8 egg yolks 1 vanilla pod, split Extra caster sugar
What to do: Pre-heat oven to 150C. Heat cream + vanilla pod in a pot to near boiling. While this is happening whisk together the egg yolks and the sugar until they are pale, light and creamy. Add the hot cream slowly to the egg/sugar mix, whisking at the same time if you can. Work quickly so that you don’t get lumps. Pour this mixture into small ramekins or one large dish. Place the ramekins in a roasting dish and then carefully pour some boiling water into the dish so that the water level comes up to 2/3 of the sides of the ramekins. Carefully put the whole roasting dish into the oven (don’t slop the water into the desserts!) at 150C to slowly bake and set the crème brûlée – about 30-40 minutes. This method of cooking is called a “water bath”. When they are cooked they will still be a bit soft but on cooling in the fridge they will set more firmly.
Once cold, sprinkle caster sugar over the top in a thin layer and put them under a very hot grill and watch them carefully until they just begin to bubble and burn. Refrigerate again for 15-30minutes. They are ready to serve.
