Christmas pudding

Did you forget the figgy pudding this year for Christmas dessert? Well, don’t worry. There are still a ton of last-minute Christmas desserts that you can make, with flavors guaranteed to satisfy even the most dedicated sweets lover in your household.

Puddin’ on a Show

Here’s a great, low-stress Christmas pudding to make that will only take around 20 minutes from start to finish. Using white chocolate, cream, frozen berries and panettone — and Italian sweet bread that’s popular around the hoidays, this pudding also uses dried fruits in order to give the dessert its depth of flavor. This recipe allows you to present a traditional Christmas pudding and bring a layer of bright sweetness to dinner.

Spice It Up

This spiced barbecued pineapple with chocolate dip is a real crowd-pleaser. The preparation is easy, and it takes almost no time at all to prepare. With only nine ingredients — including star anise, Szechuan peppercorns, cloves, and dark chocolate — this dessert offers a depth of flavor that satisfies. Sweetness, heat, and light. What can be better during the holidays?

A Spin on Tradition

Brownies are a delicious treat anytime, but for the holidays you can make these chewy chocolate flavor bombs a little more festive. This pistachio and cranberry brownie recipe offers the traditional Christmas colors, green and red, and it tastes fantastic, too! Serve them warm to get that great gooey brownie experience … or let them cool on a wire rack if you like your brownies a little firmer.

Slice of Life

As long as we’re talking about chocolate, here’s a great recipe for a chocolate-and-walnut slice. This is a no-bake recipe, which means that you’ll spend less time slaving over a hot stove. While the recipe calls for ‘milk chocolate biscuits,’ remember that the recipe is Australian, so in this case, biscuits equals cookies! Any of these recipes will provide a beautiful, sweet way to cap your Christmas dinner celebration.
