  1. Marzipan & mincemeat apples

For a lighter dessert option, serve baked apples with spoonfuls of mincemeat. Using only four ingredients, they’re so easy to make – and if you crave more indulgence, pour over lots of custard or fresh double cream.

  1. Fruit pops

Crumble up that fruitcake, mix with some frosting to bind it together, and turn it into chocolate-covered cake pops.

 

  1. Chocolate Fondue

Cut the fruitcake into cubes for a chocolate fondue dipper.

 

  1. Christmas Cake Brownies

  1. Christmas Chocolate truffles

Remove the icing from the Christmas cake and break the cake into crumbs add 4tbsp of brandy, close the bowl with a cling film and allow it to soak for an hour. Then melt dark chocolate and mix icing sugar and whisk to combine, now stir them into the cake crumbs. Now roll the mixture into tiny balls & refrigerate until firm!

 

To decorate it further, melt another 100g of chocolate and drizzle it over the truffle and add tiny pieces of nuts! #yummy
