Christmas Day pudding that is not Christmas Pudding or trifle

[IToldYouIWasFreaky]

I am hosting Christmas Day this year for 4 adults and 1 child. My mum had made the Christmas Pud but I feel like I need to offer an alternative. Not trifle though, as we'll all be having that elsewhere at the 2nd Christmas Day
Criteria are just something easy-ish, or able to be prepared in advance.

Black Forest gatauex 😍

Cheesecake - choc orange or Baileys or Christmas spice...yum!

Pavlova

Actually, dirty pav: chocolate meringue (50g cocoa, 300g sugar, 6 egg whites) made in advance, then at the last minute beat a pot of double cream with optional shot of Baileys and dollop on, then decorate with Maltesers, Minstrels and defrosted frozen red fruit (raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, cherries).

Raspberry pavlova is what we always have.

Oooh, Pavlova!

Personally this year I'm having the frozen salted caramel profiteroles gateaux from Morrison's. I normally make my own puds but bought this once on a whim and its honestly the best thing I've put in my mouth this year!

This; profiterole tower. £5.99 from Lidl or it may have been Aldi? Any way, it is a "kit" you just have to assemble it, 60 filled profiteroles, sauce, sprinkles, stand everything - it was lovely!

Clementine poset. Can you made in advance and chill. There's a recipe on BBC Good Food.

Ice cream bombe: you can make in advance from bought or home made ice creams layered in a clingfilm-lined pudding basin. Then turn out and pour over cracking chocolate topping to set before serving with fruit or whatever you like.

Can be made in advance and chilled rather.

I'm making a chocolate log for my MIL's visit.
