Instant Creation Desserts Recipes

You won't always have the time or the inclination to make a creative masterpiece from scratch. So here is a complete set of very quick, very easy 'shortcuts" from Mock Rum Babas to Almost Tiramisu, quick whips and virtually no-effort ice cream bombes. And the lovely thing is, as long as you don't tell, no one will ever know you've taken a short cut. One tip though: if you use aerosol cream to decorate a dessert, serve it straight away as it doesn't stay aerated for very long.
