Favourite prepare ahead puddings

[Lozzles]

My eldest is bringing his girlfriend over to meet us on Sunday. I shall do a roast, but want to do a nice pudding that I can prepare in the morning (we'll be eating in the evening). I am thinking of doing a cheesecake, but does anyone else have any ideas for a prepare ahead pud?

Most puddings you can prepare ahead. How about a crumble?

I used to love doing puddings but it has been so long I can't remember.

Mr Shell loves baked cheesecake. I love a trifle.

I made one a few months ago, Bb had said it was the one pudding his mum used to make and he loved it, but the main reason was it doesn't have any milk or cream so was ok for youngest!
The meringue was good, but I seem to remember it has to be done at the last minute.

I used to make so many puddings, I hardly ever do proper ones now, so not much help
Oh unless you're any good at profiteroles, they'll keep a good few hours without spoiling, and you can make the jug of chocolate sauce ahead too. I didn't know they were meant to be tricky so never had any trouble with them

Make (or buy) a pile of thin pancakes and fill them with a cooked mix of apple, cinammon and sultana, fold them, lay them in a baking dish and heat through before serving them to the table. Other fillings could be apricot (dried) and almond, banana and syrup......

Ooh I never think about pancakes That might be nice.

Or a bog standard fruit sponge and custard, the sort where the fruit is laid in the dish with a sprinkle of sugar and topped with basic sponge mix.
