So cookies aside, what does everyone make for their holiday meal dessert?

Details, details...lol. I hope it's as tasty as it looks. Let us know.

Pretty good stuff Judy--we enjoyed it with a scoop of Hagan Daz vanilla.

Charlie, it was mighty fine all by itself!

I made 2, one without the ground nuts, sue to an uncertain allergic reaction my SIL had a few weeks back. I just used a bit more plain bread crumbs.

Both came out very well.

How was the Forever Lamb?

This year, strawberry pie w/TONS of whipped cream. I was at the farmer's market and couldn't resist

Here it is (hopefully, I can download the pic)

It seemd to be a hit. Very rich though, 1 dz eggs in the cake alone and 1 lb butter in the frosting. I might have baked it a bit too long as when I was rolling it up it started to crack. It's not like most rolled cakes in that you don't roll it as soon as it comes out of the oven.

the Cranberry Curd Tart (or as one sis misread, Turd Cart) never made it to the table...

It was a backup anyway and we had WAY too many desserts! So it will make its appearance on New Year's Eve. I'll report back if it was "eatable/repeatable"

Beautiful! Looks scrumptious.

a keeper. Fall apart tender and fragrant with the spices. We drank a gevurtztraminer (sp)...

Did you use Dorie's pie recipe? It was outstanding. Easy to work with and flaky as can be.

 

[judy-mass]

I did use Dorie's pastry recipe...

I dithered a while, trying to decide if what she had given was a single or double recipe (can you tell that I don't make much pie dough?)

Since I was making 2 galettes, I made to batches of the dough. It was not to hard to roll out and fit into the tart pans (I did that for easier transport).

I'm going to use it to make the apple pie in her book for NYE--I posted the single crust..
