Found hubbie's favourite recipe for crumble!! Very sweet and rather fattening however it has fruit so surely that balances it out :) Can replace with most fruits.
Oven to 190 celsius
Rub 110 grams butter into 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup bran and 3/4 cup brown sugar until it looks like bread crumbs. Sprinkle over 6 large cooked apples, cored and peeled, cooked in water and white sugar. Granny Smiths are the nicest.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Serve with ice cream or custard!

Stir 2 Tbspns dried yeast, 1/2 cup sugar and 1.5 cups lukewarm milk in a bowl. Put aside till frothy (about 15 mins). Sift in 4.5 cups plain four and 1 tspn salt. Make a well and ad 50 grams melted butter, 1 beaten egg, 1 tspn cinnamon and 1 cup choc chips. Knead for 5 mins. Place in a greased bowl with gladwrap over for about 1-1/2 hours or until twice the size. Punch dough, add 1.5 cups more choc chips. Knead, divide into 16 ball shapes. Place close together on baking paper. Cook at 200 degrees celcius for 20-30 minutes.
When cooked brush glaze straight on top.
Glaze: 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup hot water and 1 tspn gelatine into pot until all dissolved.
When cool add melted white chocolate crosses or make vanilla/white/chocolate iced crosses.
Yum yum!!!!

From Homegrown2:
4 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 cup liquer (25-30% alcohol)
500 ml cream

Beat egg yolks, sugar, vanilla and liquer with a beater until thick and pale. In a seperate bowl whisk the egg whites until frothy peaks form. Beat the cream in a third bowl.
Fold cream mixture into yolk mixture, then egg white mixture. Pour into plastic container and freeze overnight.
I used midori for my liquer but next time it will have to be Baileys with chocolate chunks and a few good nouts!

2 cups coconut
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup sugar
100 grams butter
1 egg.

Cream butter and sugar. Add rest of ingredients. Put tspn lots onto gresed tray and flatten. Bake at 175 degrees until brown (about 12 minutes).
