10 incredible desserts for your festive menu

Christmas coffee wreath cake

A beautiful edible version of the classic Christmas decoration, this coffee wreath cake is both a visual delight and taste sensation. The biscuit base is complemented by a rich coffee mascarpone filling, and topped with truffles, chocolate leaves and edible flowers. Note: leftovers are suitable to freeze (if there are any!).

Milk Choc Ganache Tarts with Candy Cane Meringues

Bite-sized tarts are a great option for festive events where grazing is on the menu. The miniature treats are served with gorgeous candy cane meringues, raspberries, and mint leaves. If you don’t have time to bake from scratch, pick up a box of White Wings Crafted Choc Ganache Tarts, which promises a crumbly base and gooey chocolate filling.

Frozen Christmas Pudding

A mouth-watering ice-cream pudding is the perfect refreshing dish for a hot Aussie Christmas. It’s crammed with mixed dried fruit and glacé peaches and apricots, then draped in melted chocolate and frozen. Get experimental in the kitchen and swap brown sugar with dark muscovado sugar for a hint of bittersweet toffee and treacle. Better yet, it can be whipped up in under an hour for last-minute celebrations and impromptu guests.

Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut Wreath

For something a little bit different, try your hand at this delicious twist. Coated with a moreish choc-hazelnut mixture, the fluffy dough is twisted into a wreath-like ring for Christmas cheer. Serve with chopped hazelnuts, spiced cherries and doubled cream.

Chocolate and Cherry Bombe Alaska

Put a White Christmas spin on Bombe Alaska with this impressive chocolate and cherry treat. Stir cherries and chocolate sauce into your ice-cream mixture, and once frozen insert into the centre of your cake. To make the meringue top layer, organic and unrefined coconut sugar is interchangeable with caster sugar to add a gorgeous caramel flavour. Spread the meringue over the cake until covered completely in white snow-like peaks. Bake until lightly browned to create the final effect.

Spiced Date and Almond Cake

Bring new flavours to the table with a spiced date and almond cake, spread with sweetened yoghurt, orange zest and quartered figs. Don’t forget to drizzle with CSR Date Syrup to add the perfect finishing touch, as White Wing’s speciality range of CSR products enhance the aroma, taste and texture of every dessert.

Baked Cheesecake with Passionfruit Syrup

This crumbly cheesecake is topped with fresh strawberries, soft peaks of cream and drizzled with a thick passionfruit syrup to bring a variety of textures to your plate (and mouth). It’s sizeable enough to serve 12 guests, so bake this delight for your Christmas Day gatherings.

Coconut and Golden Syrup Tart

This one is for the tart lovers. Pour coconut over a baked shortcrust pastry case and drizzle with golden syrup for a rush of sweetness. Serve with icing sugar, vanilla ice cream and strawberries, then grab a fork and tuck in!
