Sticky toffee pudding
If you’ve ever made one of those cakes that you douse with syrup, you’ll know exactly what you’re in for with this trick! It goes like this – as soon as the pudding comes out of the oven, poke lots of holes using a skewer, then pour over some hot butterscotch sauce. This makes the pudding intensely moist as well as staining the sponge to give it that signature dark brown colour, rather than being a pale golden colour which many sticky toffee pudding recipes are.
It also means this pudding keeps for days and days in the fridge and once reheated, it’s just like it’s fresh out of the oven. The only question is – will you serve yours with cream or ice cream? Find this wonderful Christmas recipe here.
An English Trifle
An English trifle is a quintessential dessert that has graced British tables for more than four centuries. This decadent-looking treat is simply luscious and when made with alcohol, it’s called a “tipsy cake.” Trifle variations abound—some with jelly and some not, while the fruit is a must-have for some and a turn-off to others. We have an amazing Christmas recipe here for you. Essentially, a trifle needs a sponge cake soaked in sherry (for adults) or fruit juice (for a nonalcoholic version), a thick layer of creamy custard, and a deep layer of lightly whipped fresh cream. The rest is all about personal preference. A trifle made with jelly (the U.K. name for gelatin) might be more appealing to children (leave out the sherry, too). If you prefer a trifle without jelly, simply proceed without it—this will be quicker to make because it doesn’t need to set up in the fridge. Both are equally delicious.
Gingerbread Cookies
Whether or not you actually like gingerbread cookies is kinda irrelevant. You make them every single year because they make people happy. And because they’re so damn adorable. Melted butter will lead to denser cookies. Find the full Christmas vibe recipe here. We like our gingerbread people soft and almost a little fluffy. For this texture, you need to cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. And for this, the butter needs to be nice and soft. Gingerbread should have a lot of ground ginger, a bit of cinnamon, and a tiny amount of cloves. It’s the perfect Christmas formula. But if you don’t have cloves (or really loathe them), you can just leave them out. As for the ginger, it’s necessary but negotiable. Feel free to use a lesser amount.
Banoffee Pie
Make a homemade dessert that’s sure to have everyone talking with our tempting banoffee pie recipe. Classically delicious, it’s a sure favourite of ours here at Carnation and is made with our own creamy Carnation Condensed Milk to make a smooth and golden caramel. An impressive party piece and an ever-popular dessert, you’ll be forgiven for thinking that it’s difficult to make, but this Banoffee pie recipe is actually incredibly straightforward! Here is the full recipe for Christmas time.
Rum Soaked Fruit Cake
This Christmas fruit cake recipe, which yields two standard loaf cakes, is all about the dried fruit. We’ll be using only unsweetened dried and fresh fruit for this recipe. This fruit cake contains a ton of dried fruit. Don’t be alarmed! This recipe uses a wide variety of tart and sweeter dried fruit: golden raisins, dark raisins, figs, prunes, cherries, apricots, and peaches. To cut the sweetness and add amazing flavour, we’ll soak the dried fruit mixture in dark rum the day before baking. Head here to find out everything about this cake.
