Xmas dessert help!!!

[lolarose]

I am cooking for 12 people for Xmas dinner - so trying to prepare as much as I can the night before. I am making a banoffee pudding for desert (main ingredients - bannana, dates & pecans) . Do you thinK I can make this mixture the night before without it turning funny - and cook it on the day? I am particulalry concerend about how the bannana will settle. any thoughts!??
Or is it beter to cook the whole pudding the night before and reheat on the day??
THANK YOU!

Hmm...this is a poser. Here in NC we like our 'nanner pudding cold! So if this is a true pudding, I would make it the day before in toto, and then refridgerate it until serving. Now...in other places I have been served "puddings" that were in fact Custards. If this is the case you can mix the night before, refrigerate and then remix before cooking.

Yes it a real pudding so I think you are right - I will cook it all the night before - refrigerate - and then reheat on the day (we like it hot!)
Thanks and merry xmas!
