What are you having for dessert on Christmas day?

[ja9]

Looking for inspiration!

xmas pud & brandy butter for the traditionalists.
A chocolate ice-cream bombe for the DC.

Christmas Pud - not very inspirational!

Baileys cheesecake lovely and a bit fetive too (and very easy)

A choice of Christmas pud or Sticky Toffee pud with fudge sauce and cream.

No brainer IMO.

A choice of Christmas pud or sherry trifle - whole family of traditionalists

Mmm, sherry trifle - will have that for Boxing Day I think.

Is this a trick question?
What idiot wouldn't have Christmas pud (apart from DS, that is)

And sherry trifle at tea-time.

A cranberry & orange torte and a lemon cheesecake. Both can be made the day before.

We will have the christmas pud in the evening.

I don't bother. We will all be full from 8 milliom mince pies for breakfast, and a massive great big christmas dinner.

Will have cheese and bicsuits a few hours later.

We do have christmas pudding, but usually eat it at about 10pm one night after a few drinks.

I did lemon posset last year with shortbread biscuits - very very easy and another one you can make the day before.

We always have trifle, and have a Christmas pud. at New Year. Can't manage Christmas pud. after Christmas lunch

We have cheese and biscuits too...

Chocolate bread and butter pudding or marmalade pudding. There's only two of us!

sleighBELLasringing - could i please have your recipe and serving tips please?

planning on doing cheeseboard in the evening...

For which ja9? Lemon possett, cranberry torte or the lemon cheesecake?

Christmas Pud with brandy cream, and ice cream with festive sprinkles for the DC.

Then trifle on Boxing Day.

Then christmas pud ice cream (christmas pud mixed into nice vanilla ice cream then re-frozen) on the 27th.

Then mincemeat bread and butter pudding on the 28th.

I do like my puds!

Christmas pud and chocolate cake.

Lemon Posset

I didn't make the biscuits - I bought some posh shortbread biscuits to save on time.

I too served the posset in wine glasses as in the recipe (mine are wine tasting glasses - a bit dumpier than a champagne flute but slightly fatter in the middle iykwim). Once they were set (doesn't take long) I put some fresh whipped double cream in a piping bag and piped a huge swirl on the top which brought the dessert level to the top of the glass - they will sit happily in the fridge for a couple of days.

Jamie Oliver made a pudding last year and it's amazing imo.

You slice panettone and lay in a glass dish, spread jam on it then put ice cream and sweets or glace fruits or whatever you like inside then more ice cream then put a layer of panettone on top then you pour some cherry or whiskey round the edge so it soaks in then wrap in cling film and put in the freezer until an hour before you want to eat it then just before eating you turn it out and pour melted chocolate over it. YUMMMMM!!!

sleighBELLasringing - i meant the lemon posset, thank you... although missed your post about the cranberry torte... would you mind linking me to that as well?

really, like the look of the lemon one... especially if it can be made couple of days ahead...
