Ideas for impressive and effortless Christmas desserts

Indulge in the heartwarming flavours of Christmas with our collection of festive dessert recipes.

Is there a more iconic Australian Christmas dessert than pavlova? Top yours with your favourite fruit or make the most of fresh in-season flavours. While a traditional pavlova relies on whipped egg whites for its height, you can also create a vegan version using aquafaba – the liquid from a can of chickpeas.

From Christmas cookies to gingerbread houses, there’s no shortage of sweet treat ideas this festive season.

Trifle perfectly embodies the spirit of a sun-drenched Australian Christmas. What you choose to layer in your trifle is really up to you, but traditionally, layers of jelly, sponge cake, fresh fruit, whipped cream

Often soaked with rum, and perhaps flambéed if you’re feeling fancy, fruit pudding is an absolute Christmas classic. For a modern twist, think ice-cream puddings for an Aussie summer.
