Chocolate log with bailey's icecream as the filling. Already made and waiting in the freezer

controlfreakery - that sounds like my bombe - but i couldn't face the meringue on xmas day so i'm coating the pud with choc sauce.

minervaitalica · 20/12/2010 17:26

Prosecco and clementine jelly (can be made well in advance)

Xmas pudding, mince pies, nougat etc etc

Christmas pud (not home made) or chocolate log (home made)

Personally, would prefer the lemon posset....

Christmas pud as DH can't go without it on Christmas Day, plus will make and freeze a chocolate and chestnut roulade for me and the DCs.

Maybe do a lemon tart as well.

Homemade christmas pudding with cream. I can't imagine having anything else.

DanJARMouse · 20/12/2010 18:31

Christmas pud for my dad and Gran

Rocky Road dessert thing from Tesco for the rest of us.... not that i think we will be able to manage pud after the main course.

Small Christmas pud, tiramisu, pumpkin pie. So a lot of whipped cream too.

Thanks SleighBELLasringing!

Thanks everyone else too... i've made a little shortlist!

I LOVE the idea of a baked alaska, but would need to practise at a less stressful time!

Nothing.

We are always too full from the turkey dinner to enjoy anything else. We always have Christmas pudding on Boxing Day.

wfrances · 20/12/2010 20:41

tesco finest lemon roulade and cream & xmas pudd with cream/custard depending wether guests want something light or heavy.

Bunbaker · 20/12/2010 20:46

How on earth do all of you find the room to manage a pudding? When I am full there is nothing on earth that would make me want to eat any more.

Maria2007loveshersleep · 20/12/2010 20:54

Bunbaker: there is always a bit of room in stomach for dessert Wink. However full you are. Some people call it a second stomach, the special dessert stomach :)

we're having homemade Christmas pudding & also Nigella's chocolate cherry trifle which is divine & I've made 3 years in a row for Christmas.

stnikkilarse1978 · 20/12/2010 20:59

Have 12 people to feed so am doing a xmas pud for those who like it plus an apple and blackberry crumble with custard. It is my favourite pudding and I am cooking so I get to choose Grin

Got cheese and biccies for later of course.

BelligerentYhoULE · 20/12/2010 21:00

We have our Christmas pudding about an hur after dinner, at least.

BelligerentYhoULE · 20/12/2010 21:00

hour

bumpybecky · 20/12/2010 21:37

we're 12 as well, will do Christmas pudding, chocolate and clementine or cranberry roulade thing (good food recipes) and banoffee trifley thing (made up as I go along!)

best bit about Christmas is eating leftover pudding for breakfast on Boxing Day, and the day after and the day after that if I'm lucky!
