We have decided this year to head outdoors for Christmas lunch and have a picnic. Main course all sorted, but what can we take for dessert that wont be an issue for the heat outside etc eg no cream?? thought of a fruit platter but would like some other treats as well.

What about a fresh fruit salad with things like strawberries, kiwifruit, fresh pineapple, water melon, nectarines etc.

Could still have some Fruit Pudding and Custard, especially a nice cold runny custard that can be kept cold in a container within a chilly bin with ice.... or if a BBQ is handy (or a gas ring) can be heated to suit.
Fresh fruit Birds nests (meringue style) are also great and can be prepared prior and kept nicely in a chilly bin.

Infact, if there are no young children, champagne fruit salad would be very refreshing.

We had a picnic lunch last year, was great with everything packed up in the chiller bag.For dessert we had Christmas tarts, chopped strawberries with chocolate dip, mini pavs (take them in airtight container and also take a can of aerosol cream and extra strawberries/whatever fruit you want - the cream isn't as nice as fresh, but lots of fun and easy to transport), truffles, rockyroad, brandysnaps (fill with aerosol cream as you eat them) and of course Christmas cake.

mumstu, can I ask what you are having for your main course?
