What puddings are you doing for Christmas?

I’m on desserts this year.

I will be making

  • tiramisu
  • apple pie
  • lemon and blueberry cheesecake
  • possibly a Yule log but tbh I can take or leave cake as a pud (made it before and not sure it’s worth the effort even though there’s no denying it is good)

My personal favourite is sticky toffee pudding which I was going to do but in my mind it’s too similar to tiramisu ie stodgy

@CakeFace1234 @Raera I'm doing an untried recipe. However, I did the same website's lemon one last year and it was divine! I have high hopes. 😋

I always make a Mont Blanc- basically layers of meringue, cream, chestnut and chocolate

It’s got to be Christmas pud & trifle

NoWordForFluffy Baileys cheesecake sounds lovely. Have you got a good recipe or are you trying for the first time? I am doing a dessert for Christmas too, I have a request for a banoffee pie but maybe could try a Baileys cheesecake

Another request for the Baileys cheesecake recipe please!
Baileys is known as Christmas milk here!

Not Christmas pudding. The one from 2 years ago is still in the larder. I make a Yule log of some description every year. It was a Black Forest version last year but nobody was bothered about it until Boxing Day.

Probably only one really. Often find that nobody has room for dessert but might fancy a little later on . Fo you have many coming because that seems like a lot of choices .
