This is a favourite in our household to smother over the Christmas pudding for Christmas Day. Make with dairy free butter for an alternative for those with food intolerances. Add more or less alcohol as required but make sure it’s not too sloppy.

Festive Mince Pies*
The whole festive season can be rich, tiring and stressful. However, these little mince pies are delightful and are very simple to make – once you master the wheat and dairy-free pastry that is. Try adding orange zest to the pastry to add that something special. Also, a little orange juice is great for the normal mince pies, but don’t use this in the WDF ones, it makes the pastry go solid!
Festive Treats
Traditional Christmas Pudding*
Remembering another special Grandparent today, a fan of Granny’s puddings I’m sure. It’s not too late to bake your own, traditional delight for Christmas!
This is an old family recipe, handed down the generations. Seeing as though this was my Granny’s specialty and it is her birthday today, this one has to be dedicated to her. Make it wheat free by ensuring the suet is wheat free. This has been a struggle but this year a food hall near to where I live stocked a ‘suma’ brand. You can buy the exact same online here.
The final product won’t be cooked until Christmas Day next year because, as my Granny always said, they are best if they have a year before they are eaten. Additionally, I don’t have a picture of last years final pudding but here is the step-by-step recipe for how to create the same for your Christmas day.
You will need a 2 pint (1.2 litre) pudding basin, lightly greased.
Begin the day before you want to steam the pudding.

Mini Christmas Puddings
These mini puddings are so simple, quick and easy to make! Although they look like mini Christmas puddings, they taste like rich, spiced chocolate truffles. Why not turn these puddings into perfect homemade Christmas gifts or tree decorations?

Santa Hat Brownies*
Easy to make…and even easier to devour! Make your Christmas Party guests chuckle with these adorable and delicious Santa Hat Brownie Bites! Make them wheat and dairy free by using the alternative flour and butter plus using a vanilla buttercream instead of the cream.
Decorating Luxurious Truffles*
With Christmas coming up, why not treat your friends and family to some beautiful (and delicious) treats, homemade by yourselves. It really isn’t as difficult as they look! And the delightful packaging makes all the difference. Ensure you use dairy free alternatives where necessary. These recipes contain nuts but of course, if allergic, remove them completely! They will last in the fridge for about a week – if you haven’t devoured them before that!
