Easy Christmas Desserts

easy christmas desserts

The holidays are my favorite time of the year.  Mainly because I use it as my excuse to eat an abundant amount of desserts and feel completely ok with wearing sweat pants since my jeans won’t fit.  As you have heard me mention a few times before, I can’t stand doing dishes so I set out to make easy Christmas desserts.  Easy on your stress levels, easy on your dish load, maybe not so easy on your waistline.

All of these Christmas dessert recipes are intended to be fun, simple and compliment each other.  You can make all of them at the same time and use the same ingredients.  My goal is always to reduce dishes and time, this combination of easy Christmas desserts does just that.

Easy Christmas Desserts

  • Almond Butter Cups with Jam
  • Chocolate Strawberry Cups
  • Brownies with a Santa Hat
  • Strawberry Santa Claus

We used strawberry vanilla bean jam in the almond butter cups and the flavor combination is out of this world.  If you use a different flavor, please leave us a comment letting us know what to try next.

The chocolate strawberry cups are a perfect vessel for any flavors you want to deliver.  You can add flavored extracts to the coconut milk whipped cream or even fill with homemade nut butters instead.

Not much more needs to be said about the Santa Hat brownies.  They are just so stinking adorable and you should make them for that reason alone.  Chocolate + Adorable = WINNING.

The strawberry Santa Claus was an attempt at remaking a Pinterest picture. Honestly, I was getting ready to Instagram one of those infamous “nailed it” meme’s until I realized how easy and fun this one was to make.  Great to do with your kids as well.

Well I know it is Christmas Eve, even though when I started writing this it was the 23rd.  Whoops.  These easy Christmas desserts are perfect for any last minute snacks so you don’t have to attempt to deal with the unruly mobs in grocery stores.  Of course, that is me hoping you have everything you need in your house. One final note, I have been asked a few times on adding Pinterest links to my images.  They are already there if you scroll your mouse over the image, a button should pop up in the top left.  There are also Pinterest buttons on the top and bottom of each post.  Hope that helps and Merry Christmas.

    This looks so good. I had to pin it for next year. Wish I had seen it sooner as I baked 250 cookies for the church. Didn’t eat one of them.

    I have been gluten free/paleo a more than a month now. It has been easier than I expected. Thanks to you and all the great places on the web to go for help. Your almond milk is the next recipe I want to try. My ten year old likes to help me make things. She has been trying all kinds of new things too.

    God Bless and have a Happy New Year.
