This is a collaborative post.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been on a healthy eating & diet program for the past five weeks but I just can’t stop thinking about desserts. lol I’m looking forward to enjoying some tasty treats this Christmas!

Sometimes when I google a new recipe I find it a total disaster when I go to make it. But, I have great results when I follow blog recipes because they are from one home cook to another. With that in mind, I’ve reached out to my fellow bloggers and asked for their favourite Christmas dessert recipes.

I’ve selected some classics and some I’ve never tried before. So we have a nice mix of options here to try over the holidays. And, I’ve thrown Cuddle Fairy’s 3 dessert recipes into the mix too.

So get ready to see tasty desserts and maybe get some inspiration for your Christmas parties and dinners in. Plus I have a few foodie discount codes for you to enjoy.

These recipes are a mix of your traditional Christmas recipes & some new ones to be inspired by. Any or all of them would be delicious this holiday season! You can find the link for each recipe under its image. Let me know which ones you will try in the comments!

 

Dark Chocolate Brownies

This is a Cuddle Fairy signature recipe – always a crowd pleaser. I spent months tinkering with ingredients and proportions before getting it just right. If you enjoy a dense & gooey brownie then this one is for you.

Cranachan

This Scottish delight comes from The Bear & the Fox. Jenni says Cranachan is a dream of whipped mounds of cream, folded together with sweet raspberries, oodles of honey, a sprinkling of oatmeal, and an optional dash of whiskey. It looks easy to make & quite tasty too!

Affogato

This Affogato recipe comes from Beach Hut Cook. It’s simple, fun and can be made at the table! Elinor explains that an Affogato is a coffee-based dessert made from scoops of vanilla ice cream or gelato with hot espresso poured over hence the name – affogato means “drowned”. Sounds yum!!

No Bake Lemon Cheesecake

This is Cuddle Fairy’s super easy to make cheesecake recipe. This is my go-to recipe for dinner parties. I make it the day ahead and let it set overnight in the fridge. The strawberry coulis is also simple to make with just strawberries and a little icing sugar. To save time & money cooking meals, find some great Gousto voucher codes.
