At this time of the year I am always on the lookout for great, simple holiday dessert ideas to share with friends and family.
I love to bake, especially when it comes to Christmas baking. However, sometimes I don’t have enough notice to make dessert from scratch. Last week, while grocery shopping, I came up with a solution. I found a great little dessert shortcut in the frozen food aisle at Loblaws, the PC Mini Chocolate Coated Candy Cane Cheesecakes. I like chocolate, I like cheesecake and I like candy canes. I had to give them a try. These bite-sized, peppermint-flavoured cheesecakes have a hard, dark chocolate coating and a sprinkle of candy cane bits on top. They may be mini, but their flavour is big!
Cheesecake has never been at the top of my kids’ favourite dessert list, but when I offered them a dessert that was covered in candy cane sprinkles…they dove in and asked for another. Bite-size desserts are perfect for kids and for those of us who like to indulge a little during the holiday season, without the guilt.
Serve these delicious mini cheesecakes on their own, with fresh-cut fruit or alongside other holiday treats on a dessert tray. This holiday season I will make sure to always have a box on hand for a last-minute dessert idea.
What is your favourite holiday dessert shortcut?
