Dessert

[fruitypancake]

What are you having for dessert on the big day?

Tbh everyone is usually too full! And DC just want Christmas chocolate from their stockings.

So I get a really small Christmas pudding and someone will have a little later with brandy butter, plus this year as have chocoholic sister staying also got a nice chocolate and passion fruit tart from Waitrose.

Later on there will be mince pies, Christmas cake and stollen.

We all hate Christmas pudding. So I have made and frozen a chocolate log, filled with sweetened chestnut puree and cream, and iced with melted Nutella. On the day I sieve a sprinkle of icing sugar “snow” on and pop in a holly sprig from the garden.

Baileys and white chocolate cheesecake... but later on, hours after our dinner

Christmas pud or Black Forest trifle

Sherry trifle - I put loads of Sherry in!

I think something ready made, not inspired by marks but like look of sainsbury white bouche with clemantine

I'm not bothering. I think there's a box of chocolate biscuits under the tree from a relative.. That will work. Noone here likes those chocolate coated Swiss roll things and there's a Xmas pudding from 5 years ago still in the back of the cupboard that noone wanted back then so I've learnt my lesson.

@Babdoc that sounds delicious, are you willing to share the recipe?

Yule log and Mary Berry’s royal cherry trifle.

All sounds good.. have you seen janes patisserie website? I am attempting the after eight tart

Christmas pudding with brandy butter and chocolate pudding for the DC.

We have a break after our dinner and eat it a few hours later!

Pavlova .

Spiced apple crumble is the festive pudding of choice this year.

I made one the other week with a really buttery topping & lots of dark muscovado sugar & the family requested the same for Christmas dinner.

Ben and Jerry's.
Every year for the last decade
Everyone's fav

Raspberry sorbet

We've got shop bought trifle, shop bought apple and blackberry pie and custard or home made fruit cake. But I'd imagine we'll just fall face first into a tub of sweets. Not until hours after dinner though. 😇

Christmas pudding
Nut and alcohol free christmas pudding (for dh)
Trifle
Gluten free chocolate orange cheese cake (for me)

I have last years Christmas pudding lurking venomously in the pantry .
It might get out of there on the Big Day

(Sainsbury one good till March next year )

Love Christmas desserts! Probably a few hours after the main course, but we have Christmas pudding, jelly and cream, Yule log and banoffee pie.

OP

I did Janes Patisserie chocolate orange trifle for last Xmas dessert, was fabulous, defo a crowd pleaser and easy to follow.

I tend to do a lot of her recipes.
