I LOVE this tart recipe. It’s the perfect warming recipe for the festive period. The poached pears with the spices are the ultimate flavour combination. Served with a dollop of chantilly cream, this is the one I’ll be making this Christmas day.

This vanilla creme brulee tart is a nice and light tart to finish your Christmas meal off with. I slice it and then torch the top for the cleanest finish!

If you love a more decadent Christmas dessert then this one’s for you! A smooth chocolate tart with milk chocolate ganache topping for the ultimate shine.

I had to jump on the pistachio hype and try out a pistachio burnt basque cheesecake. It didn’t disappoint! The creamiest pistachio cheesecake recipe that’s the perfect Christmas dessert for when chocolate is a bit too much!

It took me a while to master this chocolate burnt basque cheesecake, but I’m so glad I persevered! It’s such a decadent dessert that’s a real crowd pleaser – perfect for the festive period.

Another great Christmas tart recipe. Think of this like a custard tart but made with brown sugar to give it a deeper, caramel-like flavour. The filling is so smooth it melts on the mouth!

My easiest Christmas dessert recipe! This no-bake cheesecake recipe is quick and easy to whip up. Just make it the day before you need it to give it time to set. I add baileys to mine for some extra flavour, but just leave it out if you don’t fancy it and you’ll have a delicious vanilla cheesecake.

This one might tip you over the edge after your Christmas dinner, but you can always save the leftovers for the next day! It’s my take on millionaires shortbread but in a tart. Such a decadent chocolate dessert that has the real wow factor.

This tart uses coconut sugar which gives a classic custard tart more of a caramel mouth feel. It’s a beautiful tart to serve on Christmas if you’re looking for something a bit lighter – a great alternative to chocolate tart.

If your only job is dessert on Christmas day you should try these coffee hazelnut tartlets. There’s a lot of elements to them, but they are so delicious and the perfect individual dessert to impress your family and friends on Christmas.

If you prefer a baked cheesecake to a no-bake cheesecake then this is the recipe for you. A simple vanilla cheesecake that you can’t go wrong with for Christmas day.

My chocolate orange cheesecake is the ultimate decadent dessert for Christmas day! It’s a baked chocolate cheesecake recipe that I finish with a chocolate ganache topping for that extra hit of chocolate.
