Servings : Serves 8-10
A dessert that incorporates cake, caramel pudding, pineapple and cream. Rich, delicious and really easy to put together, one of my favourite recipes!
Ingredients
- plain cake, cut into cubes (I baked a simple vanilla cake for this, but you can use box cakes or ready-made ones...any plain vanilla cake will do)
- 1 box/packet instant caramel pudding
- 1 ½ cups of whipping cream + 1 tbsp. icing sugar+ 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pineapple wedges, drained
- milk as needed to make the caramel pudding PLUS 1 more cup
Instructions
Here is the recipe for my Plain Vanilla Cake.
Place the cubed cake pieces in a bowl/dish. Prepare the caramel pudding according to instructions, but add an extra cup of milk above what they ask for on the box. When ready, pour it onto the cake and let this cool completely. You can even cling film and refrigerate until the pudding sets.
Whip the cream with the icing sugar and a tsp. of vanilla plus the pineapple wedges. Pour this on your cooled set cake pudding evenly.
Heat the small caramel sachet that comes with the Instant Pudding for about 10 secs in the micro. Cut a small hole and drizzle the caramel all over the dessert. Refrigerate.
Serve chilled & enjoy! 🙂
W/Salaam, sure you can!
Salaams Fauzia,
I went to TESCO today and found this:
http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=261048135
Is this the right product?
W/Salaam, that’s the one! 🙂
Salam Fauzia,
I was wondering if you take into consideration gelatin that is amongst ingredient for puddings.That’s what stops from me from any pudding desssert,here in the west it is difficult to find ‘Halal’ gelatin.
W/salaam, always buy halal gelatin or puddings which are marked halal (should be easily available in most desi/asian markets or online).
Can we use digestive biscuits base instead of cake base???
Hmm, have never tried this with biscuits for a base, it would make a rather thin base, but you can give it a try.
But pudding will hold the biscuit base, I guess :s
Hi,I am going to make this for a dinner at home and bought a ready made vanilla cake.Was just wondering cake cream and caramal all have sugar,wouldn’t it be too sweet?
Hi, it will be perfect. 🙂
made it today and it is the best dessert i have ever made! Thanks! Only thing is cake was not as soft as i expected and i used your vanilla cake recipe. It was moist before adding pudding but not after putting it together. Still loved it
Mashallah keep it fauzia.wanted to ask how many servings is this dessert?
Thank you, this will serve 10-12 people.
Salam, I want to try this dessert for my party abt 15
Guest. Can u pls tell me how manu people can serve this receipr?
W/Salaam, this should serve 10-12 people.
Jaakallah
Salam, can we use vanilla powder? if yes how much?also do we have to use fresh pineapple chunks or canned?which is better? also can we use a tub of whipped cream which is not too much of a liquid?thank you
W/Salaam, yes you can, just a pinch will be enough. I use canned pineapples and yes you can use whichever whipped cream available to you.
Salam, can I use normal sugar instead of icing sugar?
W/Salaam, for the whipped cream? You can, yes. Although icing will give better results.
Thanks
Salam Fauzia, I want to try this pudding, just wondering what size cake and dish to use so that it is perfect for the liquid, also do we need to cover the whole base of dish with cake or scatter just few pieces in the dish?
W/Salaam, a 9×11 inch pan should be perfect, and the cake should cover the base of the pan.
Salam sis, I made this for my party for abt
15 people. Turned out awesum. Everybody loved it.
I put the chocolate sauce instead of caramel.
Thank u sooo much.
Can i whip the cream using a whisk instead of an electric beater?
Yes you can
Hi Fauzia, just met a 6 year old who was a fan of you because ‘mummy makes yummy desserts’ she advertised this enough for me to want to make it….overall how long would you day this recipe takes? Including rough setting tinge?
Awww that is so sweet!! The caramel pudding takes roughly 5 minutes to cook, if you are using a ready-made cake then that cuts down cake baking time (which would normally be about an hour from start to finish), and whipping the cream topping takes about 10 minutes. I prefer to let the dessert set for at least 4 hours to overnight. 🙂
Thanks and how thick should I cut the cake cubes,
About an inch or 2 inches. 🙂
I wanna try this recipe but can’t find caramel pudding anywhere in USA, can I use any other flavor of pudding?
Yes you can.
