I am so happy that everyday I find so many good, clean alternatives to the overloaded desserts during my favourite time of the year, Christmas! Over time, my taste for commercially available desserts changed, but my sweet tooth drives to experiment with my favourite food items and making some mouth watering desserts around festive season and actually all through the year!
Below are easy to make and some of the most flavourful recipes to make some unique desserts this Christmas.
V'EGG Nog
This year has been amazing because I have gradually found myself trying out various plant based recipes and that part of the table has slowly, happily grown. Today I gave a go at some boozy v'egg nog. Followed a few simple recipes and added my own two bit as well and am quite happy with the result .
Ingredients
Almond Milk: 2 cups (I used 3 spoons of Jus Amazin Almond Butter All Natural and 1.5 cups water and blended it. So simple!)
Cashews: 1/2 cup
Pinch of Nutmeg
Liquid natural sweetener like maple syrup, date syrup, etc.: 3 tbsp
Cinnamon: 1/4 tbsp
Brandy: 1/2 cup
Vanilla: 2 drops
Method
Blend all the ingredients together and refrigerate it.
Garnish it with cinnamon powder and serve warm or chilled depending on your preference.
5 Minute Strawberry Pudding
I tried out my new strawberry chia jam (check out marigold.sunshine.stories for recipe) along with my favourite Cashew Butter: Salted Caramel from JusAmazin and came up with the creamiest most decadent strawberry pudding. It's so good that I put it on my Christmas lunch menu . You must add it to yours too!

Raw Nut Butter and Rum Chocolate Pops
I have been making these chocolate pops with my favourite JusAmazin Almond Butter: Dark Choco, but for Christmas I added a twist with some rum to add to the festivities. These chocolate pops not only make my mouth water but once I start I can't stop eating these.

Add the grated almonds to the blend and pour the mix into ice cube trays
Let it set for 3-4 hours and enjoy the bursting taste of raw nut butter chocolate and rum with the crunch of almonds.
