Need Christmas dessert ideas!
I need a good Christmas dessert recipe. On Xmas day we're having glazed ham, homemade potato salad, this Brazilian rice dish w/ veggies, pineapple & rolls. Easy menu. I need a dessert I can make a day ahead & that's not too complicated... Any ideas?? thx!
Re: Need Christmas dessert ideas!
There's actually a great dessert in the Nest magazine (link upper right) that I decided to make. It's a Bombe by Jamie Oliver. I'm making substitutions on it because the recipe calls for dried fruits in the ice cream.
A Bombe is essentially an ice cream dessert formed in a bowl, with cake all around, then filled with ice cream, then a layer of cake on the bottom, with a plate put on top to push down the filling. I'm making a chocolate cake, the ice cream will be chocolate, and cutting up Junior Mints for inside the ice cream because mint-chocolate chip is a wildly popular choice in my household.
I'm then going to melt the chocolate as the recipe calls for, and cover the cake portion on top with it.
I cook extensively, am making a massively involved meal for our holiday dinner, and this is something I can do ahead and freeze. I'm actually thinking of doing the chocolate melting cover a day ahead and simply freezing it as well with some foil on top after the chocolate freezes.
It's a nice recipe in that you can use any type of cake or ice cream that would be popular in your house. You could even buy a pre-made pound cake or other type of cake, cut that into the pieces you need to line the bowl, saving even more time.
Jefferson Davis Pie (the first one). Tastes and smells just like Christmas. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Stays good at room temp for about a week.
I discovered it earlier this year in an ancient church cookbook and my family went nuts for it. They say I'm not welcome at Christmas if I don't show up with it

Pecan pie!! One of my favorites and really easy to mix up. This is the recipe I use, the dough can be fussy but the filling is devine.
