I'm probably doing a chocolate roulade and a pavlova, none of us like Christmas pudding!

DH and I are in charge of dessert this years.

We're thinking pavlova and gluten free brownies.

I make an american style baked lemon cheesecake and serve it with Green & Blacks vanilla ice cream. No one likes dried fruit here.

Dh is making his amazing baked cheesecake which will be served with salted caramel or raspberries.
I am making profiteroles, lemon tart and champagne jellies.
Sounds a lot but Christmas Day tea and Boxing Day meals are all buffet style so the leftovers will get used then.

I'm going to do an ice cream Bombe thing like Jamie Oliver did one year and I think there's one on the Lidl advert this year. Basically a good vanilla ice cream mixed with fruits and nuts, might line the bowl with cake of some kind, freeze again and cover with chocolate sauce when brought to the table.

My dad says he is bringing the Christmas pudding as he doesn't like candied peel so needs to find one without it.

Sticky ginger puddings with ginger ice cream sounds lovely!
I'm not sure what we're having yet, but will be watching this for inspiration!

I'm making chocolate mousse and sticky toffee pudding, with vanilla ice cream. I've also bought a Christmas pudding that no one will eat.

Last year I made a (Nigella) icecream cake with butterscotch sauce. They all want the butterscotch sauce again, but apparently I have to think of something else to put with it!

I love a mince meat tart! Like a giant mince pie!

But after all that rich food, sometimes just something light is nice?

oooh I am ALL about dessert at Christmas Grin
I'm planning on doing this Brownie fudge pie, Millionaire's chocolate tart, and oreo truffles. I make no secret that it's all about the chocolate for me Grin

Banoffee pie is always a hit too, I just use the recipe on the side of the caramel condensed milk tin. It's literally just a butter-biscuit base, caramel condensed milk, banana and whipped cream.

PIL are bringing with them a caramel flan and a chiffon cake from their local bakery. My parents will probably bring a panettone. I'll make sure there's wipped cream/custard and mince pies plus make a fruit salad.

You can never have too much pudding :)
