If there’s anything that we love about Christmas besides the festivities and bonding time with our loved ones, it’s also the abundance of food! 

From roast turkey to sweet treats like Gingerbread Cookies and more, Christmas celebrations just feel extra special when these treats are made from scratch. 

Bring some fancy Soufflés or Crème Brûlées to your year-end gatherings, and watch everyone dig in with amazement. Only you (and us) know how simple they actually are!

These are our favourite recipes that are guaranteed to make your Christmas sweeter. From Orange Dark Chocolate Cookies, Peppermint Dark Chocolate Brownies to the classic Eggnog, these recipes will definitely spark joy!

8 Festive Christmas Recipes

No one would expect that this luxurious treat only requires 5 ingredients and no complicated techniques, making this suitable for baking beginners! 

Heavy cream and egg yolks give this dessert its creamy, silky-smooth texture. The blowtorching step adds a wow factor and a caramelised top that cracks dramatically once you dig in.

3. Banana Upside-Down Cake

Got some extra bananas lying around? Instead of leaving them untouched, use them up to make this caramelicious
Banana-Upside Down Cake.

It’s a fresh twist to the old-school bakery banana cake. There's a layer of caramelised bananas at the top, which makes it perfect for serving the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

Bake it in a square pan and serve bite-size slices in a gathering, or use ramekins to make perfectly-portioned desserts for two.

No matter which way you have it, this cake is as delicious as you can imagine!

4. Creamy Christmas Eggnog
