The holiday season is finally here – time to slow down, breathe out, and actually savour a dessert.
Today we bring you recipes bursting with the bright flavours we wait for all year – peppermint candy, cherries, berries, and a splash of sherry to keep things merry!
Give your trifle bowl a quick shine – it’s about to hold the season’s show-stopper Cherry Berry Panettone Trifle. (If you don’t have one, borrow a crystal bowl from Grandma’s collection).
Go ahead and grease the Bundt tins – Chocolate Rum Bundt Cake is coming in hot, rich, and rum-kissed.
Crack open the candy canes – you’ll want plenty on hand for Candy Cane Meringue Kisses, Peppermint Bark, Peppermint White Russian, Mini Chocolate Candy Cane Cheesecakes.
Before you get cooking, lift a glass of whatever you’re sipping to Mrs Gusto. She’s had a massive year, and she’s still going strong with smart, festive ideas – many of which don’t even need a recipe. Follow her lead, enjoy the season, and entertain with ease.
