Suggestions for a gluten free dessert to serve after curry

[WeddingInvitation]

What's a good dessert after an Indian curry. A friend is making a meal which will be huge and very good. She's asked me to bring dessert. Any suggestions?

It has to be gluten free.

Mango (or other fruit) sorbet?

Mango and blueberries or even strawberries

was gonna say ice cream or sorbet. Mango is a good call, maybe with some fresh fruit

Fruit cream and meringues nests? Fruit salad. Orange polenta cake?
My MIL makes various delicious puddings that have almond flour in.

I wouldn’t take sorbet unless you check they have room in their freezer! How many are you feeding?

Iced parfait
Ice cream with fruit (mango is a good call)
Eton mess (there is a nice recipe in Persiana (I think) called Eastern Mess, which is basically Eton mess with raspberries, rosewater and pistachio, which would work very well- you can make all the bits ahead and then assemble just before serving)

I’m obsessed with basque cheesecake at the moment. This Milky Bar version has been an absolute smash hit every time it’s been served. It can be made in advance and travels well. It would also be nice with fruit if people want to lighten it.

.

Possets are an easy but light one. Choice of flavour too.

Pavlova is my go to summer gluten free dessert, with cream, raspberry and passion fruit

Sticking with the theme - kulfi or ras malai?

Gooseberry fool or lemon posset. Or just fresh fruit.

Also coming on to say lemon posset. Yum

Dead easy to make any kind of cheesecake with gluten free ginger nuts/ digestives as a sub.

Also loads of great gluten free STP recipes out there in the world - lots of pubs etc make gluten free sticky toffee pudding as a default these days.

Mary Berry’s chocolate roulade

My Mum has coeliac disease and I usually do creme brulee and a pavlova or eton mess which uses up the whites of the eggs. Both are quick and easy, can be prepared the night before and giving a choice feels fancy.

Any kind of fool (gooseberry, rhubarb, lemon, whatever) is lovely after a curry. Zesty but with dairy to cool any chilli heat.

They are also dead easy.

Passion fruit pavlova. Use half cream and Greek yogurt for topping - lighters and fresher tasting. Jamie Oliver has a good recipe. Lemon and pistachio Bundt cake https://www.mygfguide.com/lemon-raspberry-pistachio-bundt-cake/
also miso caramel cheesecake https://www.sainsburysmagazine.co.uk/recipes/desserts/japanese-cheesecake-with-miso-caramel
all GF.

Flourless chocolate cake - if dark chocolate it won’t be too sweet , or pavlova, or gluten free trifle - my son is coeliac and I make loads of puds. Self saucing chocolate pudding was a recent hit

Lemon possets with fresh raspberries.

Eton Mess or strawberry roulade after a curry at this time of year.

Pistachio and/or mango kulfi.

@Tabarnak that's a new one for you - I really like that idea https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chocolate_roulade_79152

And I would make basque cheesecake but I've done that a few times for the same couple...

Think about what your tastebuds would fancy after a curry.
For me it would be a coconut tapioca pudding with mango chunks.

A standard Eton mess always goes down very well as a typical English summer dessert/pudding whenever I have brought it along as my contribution to a meal, especially if there are non-English guests there,
You can make a large bowl, decorated with whole strawberries and mint leaves, or individual ones on meringue nests, also with a whole strawberry and spring of mint.
