??CHCH COOKBOOK -> DESERTS/PUDDINGS RECIPES??

Hi there, do you have an original and popular desert or pudding recipe on this MB? If you do, would you consider sharing the recipe in our upcoming TM Recipe Book to fundraise for assistance to those in Christchurch?

As pickles has kindly reminded us, these must be YOUR recipes to give, and even better, if you could tell us a wee story about the history of the recipe ... the history can add so much meaning to the recipe itself ... and to our TM community too! Please do add confirmation that this recipe is able to be shared in the fundraising book ....

Thanks in advance for your support, Pat (pixiegirl) & Andrea (fastlanenz)

One from me ...
I have been making this since I was a young girl and it has become a firm fav with friends & family alike. I am almost embarrassed if someone asks for the recipe because although I enjoy 'proper' cooking this falls very much into the cheats category.
The last time I made it was just before the Chch earthquake in my now nonexistant kitchen.

Tropical Mousse
1 tropical jelly
1small pottle (single serve) peach & passionfruit yoghurt
1small bottle cream (300ml)
Make the jelly with only 1C boiling water & leave to cool but not set. Whip the cream in a large bowl, add the yoghurt & mix well. Pour in the cool jelly & beat again until well combined and light & fluffy. Pour into a serving bowl and set in the fridge. Decorate with fruit before serving if you wish.
You can vary the jelly & yoghurt flavours to your taste/preference.
There are similar versions of this recipe out there but I have been making this for 30 years, have never seen it written in a recipe book & feel confident I'm not breaching any copyright by sharing it.
