We Germans love a sweet dish at the end of a meal, even if it is just a light fruit salad, an ice cream, or a pudding. 

German women (and men) are great pastry chefs, and proud of their treasure trove of traditional German cake recipes. Some recipes are very old, and handed over within families for generations.
I clearly remember those Saturdays when mom put the food processor on the kitchen table to make the Sunday cake.

I was always surprised that she knew most recipes by heart. Okay, for a regular weekend the recipes were quite simple.
It was a fruit tart in summer to use the berries from the garden. During winter time she often made a marble cake.

Oh, and I definitely remember the lovely smell when the cake came out of the oven. We knew it was weekend then and we wished it were Sunday afternoon already.

Even if I am rather full after a meal, a pudding is a light dessert that always fits. Puddings are amongst the easy dessert recipes that don't require a lot of effort. 

The quickest way to make a pudding is to take advantage of convenience products. Pudding powders are available with various flavours. Vanilla, chocolate and caramel are definitely my favourites. 

Cook the pudding according to the instructions, rinse a pudding mould in cold water, and fill in the hot pudding. Refrigerate a couple of hours. Loosen the pudding along the edges and turn it on a plate. Decorate with fresh fruit and serve with vanilla or chocolate sauce. 

If you want a creamy pudding, add beaten egg whites or whipping cream when the pudding has cooled, and you have a delicious & creamy pudding dessert.
