What puddings are you doing for Christmas?

I make Baileys cheesecake every year too I found the recipe a few years ago on glutenfreecuppatea but the only GF requirement is the digestives so you wouldn't know.

Also sherry trifle using GF madeira cake. Then there will be shop bought mince pies and home made Xmas cake as further options. Sometimes I make Nigella's clementine cake. We live on xmas dinner leftovers for most of the following week so I make multiple puddings.

If I was only thinking of myself I would make a black forest roulade but nobody else would like it.

My absolute favourite Christmas dessert is Christmas Pudding Cheesecake (https://tomkerridge.com/recipes/christmas-pudding-cheesecake/) and I make one every year but usually sometime in December rather than Christmas Day itself.

DH's birthday is Christmas Day so I usually make a birthday cake on Christmas Eve and we have that on the day. Last year he had a gin and tonic one, the year before that a brownie/cheesecake combo, and the year before that a yule log recipe that I turned into a homemade caterpillar cake. Need to find a recipe for his cake this year!

Ris à l'amande ...! Cold rice pudding with whipped cream, vanilla, almonds and cherry sauce.

Very rare anyone fancies pudding, but I’ve got a couple of the individual Christmas puds, a frozen cheesecake and will have custard, ice cream and pouring cream for anyone that wants any. A relative always brings loads of homemade mince pies too, which usually get picked at after dinner.

We don’t end up having desert until the evening; we’re all just stuffed after the dinner.

so we have a cheese board, warm mince pies (with brandy butter/custard) and a Yule log if anyone wants any.

We then have proper Christmas pudding on Boxing Day, and also tend to have a lemon roulade or lemon tart or pavlova

A few individual apple pies (by request)
Brownies (ditto)
White chocolate and raspberry cheesecake
Mince pies and Christmas pud
ice cream, cream, and brandy butter

Edited to add: I like baking and I have no other cooking to do this year

Yule log. Just 3 of us.

I’ve never heard of multiple puddings like this being on offer. Two maximum - Christmas pud and another for those who don’t like that. I don’t believe in making an insane amount of work for myself at Christmas!

Christmas pudding and trifle, both homemade and large. My two weeks' Christmas holidays are precious, I don't massively enjoy cooking, and there will only be the five of us plus mine and DH's dads. Two puddings, plus a cheeseboard and Christmas cake, is plenty!

Trifle, Christmas pudding, toffee roulade for Christmas Day. We've been invited out for St. Stephen's Day so I'll bring a Dulce de Leche baked cheesecake for that.

I’ve bought the finch bakery brownie Yule log book, that will be made by dh as I’m on crutches for the foreseeable. Trifle. Birds. Out of a box. Decorated by the kids. And m&s pinecones.

Trifle for Christmas Day - it's DHs family tradition but I will be the one making it this year! There'll only be 6 of us so not going to do any other desserts.

Chocolate log (Delia’s recipe) and most likely a cheesecake or banoffee pie and a pavlova I think

I am going to do Christmas pudding (bought), and make a trifle and a chocolate orange cheesecake.
I am going to attempt to do baileys mousse pinecones for christmas eve.

Pavlova
fruit salad
Will buy a selection of individual cakes, around 2 per person, with chocolate cakes, Paris Brest, lemon tarts.. that kind of things

There's always an easy chocolate cake "for the kids" 😂

Homemade 🎄puds with brandy butter, and Delia’s Christmas dried fruit compote, which is always very popular. Dried apricots, figs, etc.,simmered in orange juice, a little spice. Quick and easy to make ahead, good for breakfast, too.

Sticky toffee pudding and (home-made) vanilla ice-cream on Christmas day. Simon Hopkinson recipe, which really isn’t stodgy!

Terry’s Chocolate Orange pots on Christmas eve. An Amy Sheppard recipe.

I'm making the cheat's version of Platinum Jubilee trifle (being fruity, lots fancy it), a cheesecake (not Bailey's as too many seem to dislike the taste so prob a caramel/choc one) and an Eton mess with home made meringues. Also buying from M&S (I swore I wouldn't this year), large profiteroles, choc fir cones (they freeze beautifully and thaw quickly - spray a bit of edible glitter) and they've got a Rudolph reindeer thing that looked fun. We have 2 staying over for 3 days and I take pudds to S&DiL's Xmas Day. It will all be hoovered up!

Chocolate mousse (with shop bought sorbet) and probably an apple crumble. We usually have dessert a few hours after Christmas lunch, on the sofa under a blanket while watching a movie.

Trifle (Xmas Eve)
Meringues with cream and mince pies (Xmas day lunch)
Christmas pudding with home made brandy sauce and cream (Christmas Dinner, which we have as an evening meal)

Baileys and sweet mincemeat Eton mess.

I buy ready to eat meringues, some nice ice cream, jar of mincemeat and some sort of whipped cream.... just pop it all in a nice glass,
possibly sprinkle a few nuts on top. Sometimes add a bit of crumbled mince pie or christmas cake. Very quick and I can just make it for whoever fancies it.

Also do a nice black forest version with boozy cherries and chocolate.

If your tiramisu is stodgy, you are doing it very wrong.

I will be making the following:

1. A fruit crumble
2. A chocolate Bailey’s mousse cake
3. A lemon meringue pie
4. A sherry trifle

Thanks for the recipes. I may try the Janespatisserie one as her choc fudge cake recipe is so good.
