Sunday lunch at friends what dessert to take?

[Comfysock]

Asked for us to take dessert, any ideas?

Are you making it?

Nope! Shop bought ideas! Im thinking a nice fancy apple pie and cream and custard

Do you know what they are making for the meal?

No idea but thing a roast chicken

Any allergies?

I keep on seeing recipes for mini egg brownies - how about a batch of those, warm for a few secs in the microwave and take some posh vanilla ice cream to have with it.

Or buy hollow easter eggs, ice cream, squirty cream and various toppings and make ice cream bowls with half an egg as the bowl. You can also do a no bake cheesecake in half an egg only if your friends are classy like me

Lemon meringue pie

Shop bought pies can be a little on the small side.... not usually enough for seconds IME.
Buy two to be on the safe side? (Even two different flavours?)

Cross posted that you don't want to bake.

An ice cream and chocolate egg affair is assembling not baking ;)

If likely to be a roast you may not want anything too heavy. Can't really go wrong with some nice berries & top quality ice cream.

(But the egg idea above does sound very yummy!)

As it's Easter Sunday go with something Easter themed. A no bake cheesecake is easy to make a decorate with mini eggs.

Hot cross buns and a couple of chocolate eggs of course. 😆

Fruit could be involved! 😉😂

Cook always have great desserts, and well sized.

A vanilla cheesecake topped with mini eggs and the little malteaser bunnies and a sticky toffee pudding with vanilla custard.

My go to shop bought dessert is Waitrose's No 1 Tarte Aux Fruits with a pot of their Malaysian Coconut & Lime Ice cream.

I would take something a bit lighter than a fruit pie in case the main course is very filling. I usually bake something so maybe a pavlova or mini lemon drizzle cakes. If I was buying a dessert, it might be a taste au citron or cheesecake.

As a child of the 80s, I'd suggest a Vienetta... 😂

COOK is a great option for this if you have a local branch? Some of their puddings are pricey, others very reasonable for the number of portions.

I've fantasy shopped and selected Pear and Ginger Tart (£8.95, 6-8 portions) with a pot of cream from the supermarket. And/Or Gin and Tonic Semifreddo (£9.75, 6-8 portions). 😀

Lots of lovely chocolate puddings, but assuming Easter and you may have had enough!

I would do Eton mess (so easy) and decorate with mini eggs

I would take a couple of options. Apple pie & custard/cream like you suggest, plus a chocolate Easter themed dessert like other posters suggest. With 1 or 2 tubs of ice cream. Better to over cater than under cater & can probably be frozen if not eaten (if fresh).

Gone with big bramley apple pie with demarea sugar so lovely crispy top and a berry cheesecake. Im happy with that
