Top 5: Christmas Desserts

When we think of the Christmas dinner, various dishes come to mind: turkey, romeritos, cod, but we don't necessarily think of sweet treats. The Christmas dessert, just like the main courses, is important for offering a complete meal. Today we present our top 5: Christmas desserts to inspire you and use seasonal ingredients during this magical time. Christmas Pecan Pie It may sound simple, but the preparation contains several ingredients and elements like the crust and filling. The nice thing is that nuts are very typical of the cold season and go well at Christmas. This dessert is sweet but also has a earthy flavor that helps counteract the cold of the season.

Its flavor, filled with spices, and how good it is paired with tea or hot chocolate makes it a serious alternative to consider. The good thing is that you can include any fruits you like or have available; what is essential are the cinnamon and cardamom to achieve that spiced flavor.

The cupcakes themselves are very tasty, with chocolate flavor, and the design is where creativity should come in when using ice cream cones, food coloring, and powdered sugar. This is a great alternative to include kids in the process.

The pure aesthetics of the roll decorated with cherries is quite inviting, but the important thing is the rich flavor of the sweet and creamy mascarpone along with the bitterness of dark chocolate. You can add raspberry if you want a tart touch that balances between the sweet and bitter aspects of the dessert.
