Easy Christmas desserts to make with kids
Christmas is all about sharing good food and memories with the people we care about – including our kids. So why not get them involved in the making and baking process, too? Here’s some of our favourite, easy Christmas dessert recipes you can make with children (of all ages!).
Reindeer Cupcakes (easy)
If you’re after a tasty treat that will impress the kids (and adults!), this Christmas, look no further than our reindeer cupcakes. Combining a chocolate cake batter with thick chocolate icing, these delicious creations are a fun take on a crowd favourite. Using the CircoTherm® function in your NEFF oven, bake in 30 minutes before letting your kids decorate with pretzels, Jaffa’s and candy eyes. Even Rudolph would be impressed!
Christmas Wreath Biscuits (easy)
These wreath biscuits are pretty, tasty and easy to whip up if you’re in need of a sweet treat or homemade stocking-filler this Christmas. Using just seven ingredients, the recipe is perfect for little helpers to get involved. Let them mix the biscuit dough or task them with piping the mixture onto a baking tray. Bake in under 15 minutes with NEFF’s CircoTherm® function before letting your children decorate with melted chocolate and sprinkles.
Christmas Gingerbread (easy)
A friendly and freshly-baked piece of gingerbread is about as Christmas-y as it gets – and our recipe is one the whole family will enjoy making (and eating!).
In a NEFF oven, these delicious and traditional biscuits can be made, baked and served in 30 minutes with the CircoTherm® function. Let your children decorate with icing piped from a bag and see who can come up with the best-dressed design.
Almond, white chocolate and cranberry biscotti (easy)
Whether you’re enjoying it with a cup of hot chocolate, sneaking a piece after Christmas lunch or sharing a taste with grandpa, this sweet biscotti recipe is exactly what you need. Adding a twist to the classic Italian recipe, this mouth-watering delight combines the goodness of white chocolate with burst of fruity flavour from cranberries. Note: This recipe might be one for older children to try, as it takes a little longer to prepare (or a great opportunity to teach younger kids about patience when cooking!).
Festive cinnamon pavlova wreath (medium)
This festive wreath is the dessert of your Christmas dream. And it not only looks divine but tastes delicious too! Let your kids beat the cream cheese filling together until thick, then help them fold it onto the wreath. Trust us, the layers of melt-in-your-mouth meringue, cream cheese and berries, are guaranteed to impress.
Christmas Pudding (medium)
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a Christmas pudding. This NEFF recipe is made even easier with the FullSteam function, keeping your pudding moist and full of tasty Christmassy flavours. And whether you and your helpers want to cook individual portions, a whole pudding or the traditional cloth method, this recipe can be adapted to accommodate. Ps. It’s best enjoyed with the whole family!
