All great suggestions, thanks so much!
I really was being a bit crap and unimaginative
I'm "only" vegetarian, so will always fall back on some kinda roulade or something with a fucktonne of cream etc in.
I think I might make a sticky toffee pudding cos the spice feels Christmassy but the traybake of it all is less effort than something prettier (maybe
this one?) - what's your favourite easily available vegan ice-cream or double cream type deal to serve with something like that?
We're visiting again soon for a joint bday party, and I'm absolutely turning up with some of the boughten options, esp the terrine and the Wicked rich number, cheers!
