Brandy Ice cream with Christmas pudding truffles (No-churn)


"It tastes like christmas" was pretty much the response I got from people trying this. Brandy cream and christmas pudding all rolled up into ice cream.

Baileys Frappé

The other night while I couldn't sleep and everything I have to get done before christmas was running around in my head, let's just say I haven't even started my christmas presents yet, I decided Baileys Frappés would be the perfect accompaniment to the holiday season. To me Baileys screams christmas but these would go down just as easy on a summers day. I'll be honest I don't drink but oh my heavens to murgatroyd was this amazing! I could quite possibly get drunk off of these by accident. After all the frappés I made in summer I'm pretty sure I've outdone myself with this one, not to toot my own horn! I do have a soft spot for frappés.

It's quick and easy, it takes longer to get out the ingredients than it does to make it and I'll tell you now you don't even need a powerful blender. I'm pretty sure our blender is on it's last leg because I have to give it a bit of a shake so it'll blend everything, nevertheless it works.

Gingerbread men cupcakes


As much as I love ginger I always find ginger cake to be quite stodgy sticky and sickly until this recipe walked into my life.

Gingerbread men


What's christmas without a little ginger? This is my favourite gingerbread recipe, they're nice and soft and it's very easy to eat a few thousand once you've started, okay, maybe not a few thousand. I made a batch of these for a family gathering last year and they were gone in about 10 minutes. I personally prefer the miniature gingerbread men although when I'm making them I forever feel like I'm rolling out and lining up little soldiers but I can guarantee they're well worth it.

Mocha Snowy delight cookies


This Christmas Cadbury's brought out a limited addition bar called Snowy delight. It's a christmas bar with vanilla flavour filling and oh my is it yummy. The filling tastes like vanillary white chocolate goodness and I am a sucker for milk and white chocolate together. This chocolate tastes uh-mazing with coffee, so I thought why not put it in a cookie.

Mince Pies

It's that time of year again, the shirt sleeves are getting rolled up, the christmas apron is out the cupboard and I'm swimming in jars of mincemeat. It's December and I can finally put my Christmas tree up and of course, it's time for mince pies!

These are one of my favourite things to eat at christmas, if not my favourite, aside from sausage stuffing balls but that's a whole other drool worthy story! Every year I'm just itching to have mince pies, and every year we end up buying some from the shops for a quick mince pie fix before we get around to making some, and every year I find the store bought mince pies shockingly terrible. You'd think I would have learnt by now but once the first batch is out the oven I guarantee if you're short of mince pies there will always be some in our house, they're like pringles, once you've have a munch you cant stop till you've had them all for lunch.
This is such a quick and easy recipe you could potentially gain time by making these! (just think about it). Would I go as far as saying I can almost hear santa on my roof when I eat them? maybe! Try them out you might even convert and become a mince pie maniac like myself. So without further gilding the lily and with no more ado....
