URGENT! Mid-winter xmas dessert ideas pls

I'm going to a mid-winter xmas dinner tomorrow night and have been selected to do dessert.

Not usually a problem except with both me and Caitlin being sick all week it's totally slipped my mind and it's tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!

Please post suggestions that take less than a hour to prep and cook (and with readily accessible ingredients) as that is all the time I'll have tomorrow after work. It's got to be fairly impressive so don't tempt me with the Cheesecake Shop or packet mixes!

All my "quick and easy" desserts are summery things like fruit kebabs lol.

What about buying a christmas pudding and doing it with brandy cream or custard?

How many people do you need to feed? Can you bake a yummy carrot cake with cream cheese icing?

Or try searching for Christmas recipes on the cuisine website www.cuisine.co.nz - they usually have some "different" things. I quite like taste.com.au as well.

hope this helps its super yummy only thing is it needs to be cooked just before serving so hope thats available. All the ingredients come from supermarket serves 6 ish
From the Jo Segar sugar and spice book
125g Butter
1/2 c white sugar
2T golden syrup
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 T cocoa
1/4 c rolled oats
1 1/2 t baking powder
Approx 180 g white choc (i use milkybar)
1 1/2 c frozen berries (i use the mixed ones)
Serve with yoguhrt or vanilla icecream
Directions:
Grease 24cm round pie dish or something similar preheat oven to 180 (only if serving straight after cooking)
In large saucpan melt the butter sugar and golden syrup add the flour cocoa and baking powder when mixed stir in rolled oats add the chocolade and frozen berries stir gently turn into greased dish Bake for 15 min best served warm!! Hmmm now i want some

What about a trifle or pavlova?

Heck, if you got cracking on it tonight you could save time tomorrow and just leave steps 6 and 7 so you're not rushing too much.. Might be good if you have never made one before cause you want to make sure you get the consistancy of the yellow part right so it will set properly..

Apple crumble is my desert of choice!

Peel and chop approx 2 apples for each person eating, stick them in a baking dish (can sprinkle a little sugar on top if you like things sweeter!)

In another bowl mix 200grams butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, until it looks like crumble mix.

Pour ontop of apples, bake for approx 20 mins. Easy!

Snap Tara, I was going to say Ambrosia as well - sooo easy and very yum! Never thought of putting maltesers in it tho, will have to try that one

As much as I love all the suggestions... I've just found a recipe for cassata ice cream *drools*
It's really just vanilla ice cream flavoured with orange liquior with dried fruits, pistachio nuts and chopped dark choc. Nice and easy and even better, I just sent DH out to the supermarket to get the bits so I can make it tonight and leave it in the freezer over night.

I was starting to think I would need to stop off at the cheesecake shop, my big boss wouldn't have been too impressed with that for his dinner party

id go for xmas pudding with custard yummmmm

was so gutted we diddnt get it at our mid-winter xmas dinner thing :(

I was going to suggest Ambrosia as well. It's so easy.
Tara's recipe sounds divine too I might have to steal that to improve my version
