Ideas For Holiday Desserts
If youre like me, you like to bake gifts for the holidays and maybe even throughout the holiday season
. I remember growing up one of my favorite things to do was to visit with my family grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. We would all get together at someones house for a big holiday celebration dinner. Holiday gifts would always include a variety of baked treats, everything from sweet breads like cinnamon rolls to homemade candies like fudge, and of course cakes and pies. If youre looking for some baked treat ideas for this holiday season, take a look at topics Ive put together.
Traditional treats
Half the fun of holiday treats is the making of them. I can still remember the year when my grandmother taught me how to make pecan pie. I was determined to be able to contribute a tasty dish to the family gathering that year. I still hear her words of advice to me to get all the goody out of the bowl as I was scraping the mixing bowl into the baking pan. Here are some ideas for traditional holiday treats:
Sweet breads
Sweet breads are always a tasty treat. Theres something satisfying about the smell of spices that fill the house as youre baking them.
* Cinnamon rolls
* Fruit cake
* Figgy pudding
* Cookies
Pies
Pies are always a welcome addition to the dinner table and they can qualify somewhat as a healthy holiday treat; at least most of them offer some nutritional value.
* Fruit pies such as Cherry, Apple or Mixed berry
* Pumpkin or Sweet Potato Pie
* Pecan Pie
Candy
Sometimes making candy can be tricky, but some forms of candy qualify as easy holiday treats. Be sure to get a good recipe that describes the process well, and make sure you have a candy thermometer if the recipe calls for it.
* Fudge
* Peanut brittle
* Butter mints
Unusual Treat Ideas
If youre looking for something new to try this year, and perhaps for something more challenging as well, look for recipes that require advanced preparations or special baking technique or baking dishes. You might want to take a practice run for some of these, to make sure that they turn out the way you hope when the big day arrives.
* Fruit tart this desert is a little on the lighter side. Finding a variety of colors for the fresh fruit topping adds a nice decorative touch.
* Souffle this is a wonderful desert and can be flavored with fruits, nuts or chocolate. They definitely take some preparation and careful attention.
Hopefully these baked treat ideas will inspire you to try out some new creations for your holiday gatherings. Happy baking.
