So! Ive been given the task of an xmas dessert!! We have a large family with 6 kids, we have trifle and xmas pudding so far but want something else... i dont overly want to do a pav as I know ill fail it and I dont want to use a store bought one.
Any suggestions?
Google Triple-choc cheesecake with salted peanut caramel on Taste. I made it last Christmas...pretty amazing!
banoffee pie!
Ooh n2l I will! I luuurve salted caramel!
M&d2b do you have a good banoffee recipe?
Baked custard? Homemade icecream?
For quick and easy but yummy try nigella lawson's nutella cheesecake. Mmmmmmmmmm
I make a rocky road cheese cake or a Tim tam one.
American pumpkin pie!!!! It's awesome and very easy. If you want the recipe just FB me. DHs sister started making it a few years ago and we have it every year now!
A peppermint cheesecake?
Im making a triple treat of coconut panna cotta, mango pudding and mango jelly.
I am on desert this year and I am also stuck with a plaster cast on my leg so I have gone with some easy options.
I am doing rainbow jelly frog in a pond, fruit platter and a platter of shortbread, salted caramel fudge and macaroons (the last platter are all bought items).
My sil's all seem happy with the variety yet it is minimal work as I am guessing you already have more than enough on your plate.
If you want something easy, you can't get any easier than chocolate ripple cake! It's usually a crowd pleaser too :)
Soften a tub of ice cream and mix through whatever yummy things you want...melted chocolate (or chopped Mars Bar, cherry Ripe etc), chopped nuts (pistachios and macadamias are my faves), red and green glacé cherries....or you can go kid friendly and do marshmallows and lollies ;)
Freeze in a glad wrap covered mixing bowl or pudding basin, slice and serve (with fruit if you like).
I think we must be the only family that only does one type of dessert! ;)
Ooh there's so many amazing ideas!! Ill be spending thr rest of Today lolki up recipes and deciding! :lol: I wish I was making more now!
Creme Caramel, Chocolate Cherry Ice-cream Cake, caramel pavlova, roulade, fruit salad, chocolate mousse, various cheesecakes and vriations on plum pudding have all made appearances over the years.
Minted strawberries, good quality ice cream and fresh mangoes are staples.
