Dessert Ideas?

I just got a new KitchenAid mixer as it was on sale for £299 so I thought "now or never!". I'm going to a friend's house for dinner Saturday night and she said "you just got the new mixer so you can use it to make pud!" We work together so been chatting about what I can make and she said to "make something American"....there are a few things I like but can't exactly get all the ingredients or substitute for the ingredients here.

Long winded backstory out of the way, my question is WHAT SHOULD I MAKE FOR PUDDING?! Open to American-specific or non-american stuff alike. If I can use my new mixer, it's bonus points! hahah Also, the less healthy it is, the better    We all know that fruit salad isn't reeeeaaaaallllyyyy a pudding!

Idk if you've had it ever or not but....... funfetti cake ugh

haha yes! I used to bring back boxes and frosting with me but I ended up not using them ever!! Hilariously enough though, I would always get the urge to make it WAY after the expiration date! Is there a way to make your own funfetti cake over here? I don't think I can buy (at least not cheap) the mix over here.

I've been craving some for a while. I did a little searching and it seems that sainsbury's has a confetti cake mix http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/sainsburys-confetti-fairy-cake-kit-320g?langId=44&storeId=10151&krypto=366V6iKrci5XAtsIWv0zShJXjyt44GJNSp4ZgFCEv1DmsVx1R3AMdp9q2Wl0k3w%2FBL5cpy6yo%2FYBfjzWgNq1E2%2BWPeu%2FE1X7B6GDnpyTkgDJ%2Fr%2BWzLQb8thvqz7bowlxSoFJl6qcHFTlwGS0hpHbuI3b8kQdAEAEia%2BTCPj%2FDRo%3D&ddkey=http%3Agb%2Fgroceries%2Fsainsburys-confetti-fairy-cake-kit-320g

Also a recipe here: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/funfetti-cake

I also found this but it's unavailable currently (damn)

KoD...what about those cake batter cookies that you link to on your food blog?  I've been thinking about those all week! 

Almost forgot about those! hahaha Thanks for the reminder! I might make those regardless of whether or not I choose something else to bring!

At Easter I made Mary Berry's lemon cake and it was a bit hit.  Would definitely make it again!

Although next time I might consider using sandwich tins instead of a loaf tin, and making a lemon Victoria sandwich.

I feel like I'm way too nervous to attempt to make any type of Victoria Sandwich! hahah I feel like my British friends have very high expectations for those and I'm not sure I could live up to them as I'm not made that type f sponge before!

Might have found the one! haha

I always make one for my husband's birthday.  If you have a decent sponge, it can't go wrong. It takes some practice though.

How about a banoffee pie?  Will your mixer make whipped cream ?

British people think Banoffee is American, but I've never heard of it before living here.

I'd not heard of it until getting here either but I didn't know people considered it american haha Anytime I've asked people what it was (when I first moved here), they'd say "it's a traditional British pudding". My husband doesn't think it's that impressive and I've only tried one variation of it once and it wasn't anything special in my opinion - but it might just have been the one I tried.

To answer your question though, it does have a whisk accessory for it so it can make whipped cream

Didn't you post a recipe for a peanut butter Oreo pie on here a few months back?  Seems like that needed some mixing.  It was good, but I still get chest pains just thinking about it.

I don't think that was me. I did post on here about very easy 3-ingredient (i think) peanut butter cookies so somebody might have replied off the back of that with their own peanut butter oreo cheesecake recipe?

I can't find it, the search function is no good.
