I need a dessert recipe

Ok, I know this is early for Christmas but my grandma called earlier this week and wants everyone in the family to bring a hot dish and a dessert or a salad. We are bringing mini meatballs and a dessert. I need a good dessert recipe. I keep searching but nothing is jumping out at me.

So ladies what is your favorite Christmas dessert? (doesn't have to be just for Christmas either.)

pumpkin icecream pie. Easy and a crowd pleaser.

OR cinnamon rolls

ETA: For the pie you take a carton of vanilla icecream and a can of pumkin and 2 tspns pumpkin pie spice mix it all together and put it in a graham cracker crust. Then back in the freezer for a while. Super easy  

I have a couple that we eat at every family get together:

Snicker Salad
Cookie Salad
Better than sex cake.

all big crowd pleasers.  

This cobbler is AWESOME.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 (16 ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 2 tablespoons white sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put the butter in an 8x8 inch baking dish and place in the oven to melt while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
2. Bring the peaches with syrup and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes; set aside. Whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Stir in the milk until the mixture is just moistened. Pour into the hot baking dish over the butter. Spoon the peach slices and most of the syrup over the batter.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Return to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes longer.

do you want the recepies? i figured i'd throw them out there before i took the time to type them all. lol

I always love to do fruit salad (big container of cool whip and a can of fruit coctail) and then I usually make fudge and a pecan pie. I am the desert maker in my family. I do all kinds of deserts and plan months in advance...i like to experiment.
