We belong to a film club where, once a month, we have dinner before the film starts. Everyone brings something to eat, so we help ourselves from quite a range of things.
I often do a dessert and in the past have made triffle, courgette cake, fruit salad, pavlova. Others often bring crumble so I don't want to do that.
Would a large creme brulee work and if so do I just do the brulee or add some fruit to the bottom?
Other suggestions for recipe would be welcome. If I don't use them this time round then I could try them for future evenings.

A nice bread and butter pudding?

A nice bread and butter pudding?

that sounds interesting. Would it be ok cold?

[darkbrowneggs]

its nicer hot or at least warm  and you can serve it with cream


Could you wrap it in a couple of towels or maybe an insulated bag - if you make a fairly deep biggish one it should keep its heat for quite a while.  I assumed if some were taking crumbles there was somewhere to keep them warm

Profiteroles, cheesecake in a square tin so  you can cut it up into little squares, I love a trifle but what about summer pudding, maybe either with winter fruits, a take on the bread and butter one as I often make that with winter fruits with cinnamon in.  I have gone completely blank now    veryone loves a fruit pie?

Strangely enough the crumble is usually cold but no one seems to mind 
Now, fruit pie is a good idea. I have blackberry and apple already stewed in the freezer that would work well.  Profiteroles too but haven't made those for years and years. I might save them for a later date so that I can have a practice in between.

I used to forage for berries and then poach them with brown sugar and cinnamon, ideal for winter puddings or putting on rice pudding, yoghurt or in crumble or pies or that bread pudding.....

I'd have gone with the cheesecake.....or a fruit flan..or a syllabub...maybe eton mess....lemon meringue.....treacle tart....

I've done fruit flan before and cheesecake but eton mess and also lemon meringue are good possibilities for another time as they all seem to love meringue. Treacle tart is also very tempting although I have never made it.

every year we have a big family get together usually just before Christmas as our family is scattered far and wide from devon to north yorks and many points in between- everyone brings some contribution and for some years now my OH's key Lime pie has been a regular and popular feature. I even made it one year- blooming scrummy
