There's 10 of us. I'm going to put out stollen, chocolate trifle, the gingerbread house and biscuits, buffet style.

On Christmas day it's us 5 plus my dad and brother. I've got a Christmas pudding and I'm going to make an ice cream Bombe.

We will have Christmas Pud, mince pies and Chocolate Yule Log. We are trying a chocolate tiffin cake this weekend that we might get another of for Boxing Day if it's any good.

Christmas pudding, Nigella's Christmas spiced chocolate cake and a panettone bread and butter pudding plus mini mincemeat donuts and puff pastry mince pies as vehicles for brandy butter for grazing.

Over a period of days:

24th: apple pie, baked toffee pecan cheesecake (it's a Waitrose recipe for White Chocolate Baileys cheesecake but I add the toffee and nuts)

25th: Christmas pudding

26th : trifle (if they're enough room in the fridge I'll make it on late Christmas night), sticky toffee puddings

27th: steamed syrup pudding

Most can be made a day or so ahead or at least prepared a bit

ZeViteVitchofCwismas · 17/12/2015 18:51

something from M and s

imwithspud · 17/12/2015 18:56

I'm going to attempt to make a chocolate Yule log hopefully. If I don't get around to it then I'll just buy one. Possibly served with mint choc chip ice cream if my dp gets around to making it.

mapmyface · 17/12/2015 19:03

There's 10 of us, serving Christmas pudding and marks' melting chocolate orange pudding

mrsdavegrohl · 17/12/2015 19:26

10 of us having salted caramel ice cream sundaes, can't wait! DH is making the salted caramel sauce plus will have vanilla ice cream, meringue, crumbled tablet and spray cream.
I have mince pies and a small christmas cake bar although they are not favourites for us mainly for ils.

MrsMillions · 17/12/2015 19:56

DM is bringing sticky toffee pudding. I'm making Tom Kerridge chocolate ale cake which tasted very Yule log like when I made it for DSis and BIL but less faff as no need to roll. Think those will be for 23rd/24th.

James Martin did a Xmas tree pavlova last week, going to serve that on Xmas day. Love a trifle but homemade and with DD2 just 2 months old I don't have the energy for the different stages.

Have ice cream in freezer (including home made coffee) and will have mince pies on hand.

SquadGoals · 18/12/2015 09:48

DH and I are in charge of dessert for 15.

He's going to make a couple of pavlovas and I'm making chocolate brownies with a few tubs of ice cream. Probably make a fruit platter too.

Trying to work out if we should do something else. Leaning towards a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake if we do.

I'd love to make a traditional trifle but don't know how well it would go down. Plus I don't think PILs have a suitable bowl for it.

I was planning chocolate apple betty and a bought christmas pud as options on christmas day. We are having a christmas eve tea/buffet I can whip and whenever needed, and I plan to make stollen, mince pies and triffle, but I've just realised I don't have a triffle bowl! First time hosting Christmas and finding the planning challenging!

ThisUserNameIsAlreadyTaken · 18/12/2015 16:14

Salted caramel profiterole cake
Extra Profiteroles
