Recipes for Christmas Desserts

Christmas Pudding Recipes And More...

These recipes for Christmas desserts range from the traditional plum pudding to a creamy cloud of Pavlova.

The hardest part is deciding what to have!

Christmas is a time to indulge in puddings and desserts.

It's not unusual for people to expect a traditional boiled pudding at the end of their Christmas dinner.

But why not try something different?

A dessert in the shape of a Yule Log is also traditional in some parts of the world, and there's no reason why you can't offer cheesecake or a gourmet cake instead.

If the meal has been very heavy, you may like to finish off with a sorbet or fruit salad.

The choices are endless.

Here are just a few of my favorites.

Favorite Recipes For Christmas Desserts

Boiled Christmas Pudding
Serve hot with Brandy Butter and Brandy Sauce

Pavlova with Berries
This dessert looks so festive. Jewel like berries lying in a snow drift. It's also handy if storage space in the fridge is a problem. It doesn't need refrigeration until it's assembled.

Festive Almond Torte
Make up the cake base for this stunning looking torte a day or so before.

Once-A-Year Cheesecake
This cheesecake is so rich and delicious I save it for special occasions only, and then eat without guilt!

Chocolate Yule Log
This dessert looks so Christmassy you can use it as part of your table decorations.
