Christmas deserts

[zzxxee]

There have been a lot of posts, about what meat people are having for their christmas meal.
I am looking for ideas for deserts. Do you have any suggestions ?

Where to start!

White chocolate amaretto terrine with plum coulis (bit of a clat though, but made well in advance)
Bombe mexicaine (a coffee toffee meringue filled with cream - if you make it in advance and freeze it, it's much better and very simple)
Chocolate log

Any suggestions for desserts for people who cannot tolerate dairy or lactose?

[Bbbananas]

I have a great recipe for a lime & coconut cheesecake, and a pear tarte tatin - no good for those who cannot eat dairy though :-(

this one comes up trumps at any dinner party. literally.

i'm not a fan of white chocolate Barmaid , but your coffee/toffee meringue sounds lovely :)
lime and coconut together sounds interesting Salla :)

[Ankou]

[zzxxee]

[zzxxee]

frozen soya yoghurt and soy cream with mincemeat blended through it like a christmas pudding ice cream , pears in red wine with soy cream

For something with christmassy flavours but not too heavy an apple & mincemeat strudel is good.
