Mine will be the traditional christmas pud and custard. I have had Christmas pud with mint-choc ice cream or thick whipped cream in the past, but the brandy sauce mixes never appealed to me.

When I was growing up, Christmas dinner was always a duplicate of our Thanksgiving menu; so we had pumpkin and mincemeat pies for dessert.
After getting married there came a time when I always served red velvet cake. Then I switched to "Spice Dream Cake" with coffee ice cream. I made orange raisin steamed pudding one time, but my husband accidentally put my recipe in the trash; it was jotted down on the back of another paper. One of our children hated raisins anyway.
Usually we have cheese cake with strawberries
4 my christmas dinner dessert
its gonna be the fruit cake i baked . we use rum , brandy & wine
but we burnt sugar 2 add to the batter so our fruit cake is dark & intoxicating lol
Ours is usually cheesecake or when I was younger on the Italian side we always had tons of cannolis.
A chestnut cream cake. I could eat the whole thing by myself. :elf1:
never had chestnut cream cake that must be so yum !
