Christmas pudding aside, dessert on Christmas day is often an afterthought as it follows the main star of the show - the turkey! With so much cooking already completed, these quick and easy desserts are ideal for impressing your guests with minimal effort or culinary flair. Served in one dish, they’ll also save some washing up! Here are two quick and easy Christmas dessert ideas made even better with Dale Farm. Choose between a creamy Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding and a rich Lazy Tiramisu, and thank us later!
Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding
Transform a classic Panettone into a heartwarming dessert with this easy bread and butter pudding recipe. A twist on our usual bread and butter pudding recipe, this pudding is wonderfully nostalgic, bringing back fond memories of cosy family gatherings and hearty meals. This comforting dessert is super straightforward to make, requiring minimal weighing, measuring, or in-depth technical knowledge. It’s rich, satisfying, and perfect for a cold winter evening. With a dusting of icing sugar on top, and full of our Fresh Madagascan Vanilla Custard this easy dessert will look wonderfully Christmassy on your Christmas table and taste luxurious!
What You’ll Need:
Panettone (sliced evenly)
Butter
Icing sugar (for dusting)
Optional: Dale Farm Ice Cream or extra custard for serving
How to Make It:
Slice your Panettone into even pieces and generously butter each slice.
Arrange the buttered slices in an ovenproof dish, overlapping them slightly for a beautiful layered effect.
Pour Dale Farm Custard over the bread, ensuring it seeps into all the gaps. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the custard.
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Place the dish in the oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
Once cooked, sprinkle icing sugar on top for a festive touch. Serve warm with more Dale Farm Custard or a scoop of your favourite Dale Farm Ice Cream.
Once baked, this dessert will keep in your fridge for up to 5 days which is perfect for those lazy days between Christmas and New Year!
Lazy Tiramisu
When you’re short on time but still want a dessert that wows, this Lazy Tiramisu is your answer. It’s a no-bake recipe that comes together in under 20 minutes and is perfect for coffee and chocolate lovers.
What You’ll Need:
250g Mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
75g Castor sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract
250ml Strong espresso or regular coffee
Trifle fingers
Cocoa powder for dusting
How to Make It:
Whip Dale Farm Double Cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese to create a smooth and creamy mixture.
Dip each trifle finger into the cooled coffee. Avoid soaking them for too long to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
Arrange a layer of dipped trifle fingers in a baking dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the fingers and smooth it out.
Add another layer of coffee-dipped trifle fingers.
Top with the remaining mascarpone mixture and smooth the surface.
Generously sift cocoa powder over the top for a rich chocolatey finish.
Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the flavours meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy the compliments!
