Pavlova, Tiramisu or something else???

[Elouera]

I'm going to my MIL's for Christmas. She already makes a lovely trifle so what other dessert can I take along? Any suggestions appreciated.

Fruit flan
Cheese cake
Profiteroles
Gateaux

Chocolate roulade. Make ahead and freeze, defrost on the day.

I have got in

Jam roly poly
Sticky toffee pudding
Chocolate (hot) pudding

No-one who will be here eats christmas pud apart from me so mum went to Iceland I have a selection

Nigellas choc and raspberry pavlova is fab. Take the base, whip cream and top with fresh rasps when you arrive. Done!

I'd avoid tiramisu as the texture is quite like trifle. I'd go for something crunchy and maybe a bit tangy, so raspberry pavlova would be great or perhaps a lemon or seville orange tart?

DH and I are having M&S Black Forest gateau and it looks bloody gorgeous!

We’re having Nigella’s pavlova too.

All great ideas, thanks. I think I'll take a pavlova.

Oooh I was coming on to say trifle as that's the only Xmas dessert for me!

But yes, if there is already going to be one, then maybe a pavlova.

There is a tiramisu orange trifle in tesco magazine that looks nice.

I did a moose cake one year that was really nice.

Iceland are doing a croquembouche at the minute.

Pavlova is a good idea. I doubt you can go far wrong with that!

Tiramisu is not a good idea unless you know everyone likes coffee. And trifle isn't great as not everyone likes soggy sponge (I don't like either dessert!).

Ikiboodolph, yes and it is excellent. £5 compared with Tesco’s version at £15.

Nigellas clementine cake dusted with icing sugar and Christmas decs on top. Take some creme fraiche to serve with it.

we always do a pavlova. It's light enough after the big meal, everyone likes it, and it looks beautiful.
