Answer 2

Boiled fruit cake with custard or cream goes down well in my household, you could try white Christmas or even gingerbread Santa's or stars or trees depending on the age of those you will have at Christmas, another favourite is trifle. But really choose something that the people who will be there already enjoy. Christmas is a time to spend with friends and family not in the kitchen working and getting stressed out about whether everyone will be happy with your choices. Merry Christ mas

British Mince pies with Custard

Ingredients:

8 oz butter, softened
1 lb all purpose flour
2 oz icing sugar
2 egg yolks
1 lb mincemeat
beaten egg, to glaze
bun tins to make 30 pies

Cut the butter into cubes. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbes. Stir in the icing sugar. Make a well in the centre, stir in the egg yolk and about 3-4 tbsp iced water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead lightly to form a smooth dough (if there is time - chill for 30 minutes). Preheat oven to mark 400F or gas mark 6.

On a floured surface, roll out two thirds of the dough and cut out 30 rounds using a 2-½ inch fluted cutter. Use to line the bun tins. Fill with mincemeat*.

Re-roll remaining pastry and trimmings and cut out circles using a 2 in cutter. Dampen edges of circle and place on pies. Seal edges, brush tops with beaten egg and cook for 20 minutes.


Custard:

Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons Splenda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Heat the cream (and chocolate, if required) gently in a small pan. Whisk the egg yolks, Splenda and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until smooth. When the cream is just coming to the boil, pour it into the egg mixture and whisk well. Return the mixture to the pan and heat again for another minute or so, whisking all the time until the mixture thickens. Be careful not to overcook or the mixture will curdle! Pour immediately over any hot or cold dessert and enjoy!

Serves 4.

For chocolate custard just add:

1 ounce chocolate from a 3.5 oz bar of Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa Chocolate.

Another option: serves mincepies with fresh cream.

Answer 6

Make a trifle. Similar to, though more elegant than, a "dump cake." They are very pretty and really easy. You can find recipes all over the internet, but I love the Food Network. You can just pick your favorite holiday flavors and you'll find a recipe - cranberry orange, gingerbread, chocolate, whatever!
