1. Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake

Take one glance at the chocolate icing on this cheesecake and tell us you do not want to take a bite of that. Chocolate is indulgent in and of itself. Add in some peppermint and you’ve turned a simply delicious chocolate cheesecake into a delectable, festive treat.

2. Red Velvet Skillet Cookie

3. Santa Hat Meringues

These little hats are an adorable holiday dessert that is both festive and functional. After a heavy meal, these meringues are great to offer as a light dessert. They may be small, but they are the most stylish of sweets!

We admit it – we’re a bit red velvet-obsessed. But come on, when you take a bite into the white icing on these truffles to see that deep red color inside, it’s so satisfying!

5. Candy Cane Forest Cake

This cake is absolutely stunning. While you can follow the recipe, feel free to add full or crushed candy canes to any of the cakes you already serve to add a festive touch.

6. Apple Crumble with Cardamom Vanilla Caramel Sauce

Apple pie and apple crumble are are always delicious, but they provide a sense of comfort that makes them a hit this time of year. Take this dessert even another step further with this caramel sauce. This is a must on your menu this holiday season!
