Christmas Dessert Ideas

Christmas is all about celebrating with your loved ones, honoring the holiday listening to all of your favorite Christmas songs on repeat, and, of course enjoying a delicious meal to end the evening off with a bang! For today’s Christmas feature, we, at The Modern East have compiled a list of must-try desserts for after your big Christmas dinner. Try these out and we guarantee you’ll have your guest’s mouths water! From cookies to pies, we’ve got you covered.

Mocha Men and Star Cookies

Because how could you ever resist holiday-themed cookies made from chocolate and espresso? Don’t forget to leave some out for Santa – he probably needs some coffee a lot more than we do!

Christmas Trifle

This ultimate holiday trifle includes scrumptious layers of cake, compote, and cream (and is nothing like the one Rachel made in that iconic Friends episode, thankfully).

Salted Caramel Mixed Nut Pie

Because we all go a little nutty during the holiday season, don’t we? Nothing screams Christmas more than pecans, walnuts, and warm salted caramel, of course! Don’t forget some vanilla ice cream to top it all off.

Santa Hat Cheesecake Bites

Who knew strawberries (with a little whipped cream on top) could make the perfect mini Santa hats? Not only are these super easy to make, but they fit the Christmas theme perfectly, and they’re absolutely scrumptious.

Christmas Fudge

This ultimate gooey, sprinkle-topped Christmas fudge is definitely on our holiday wish list this year. Top these bad boys off with some x-mas colored sprinkles and you’ll be all ready to go! Bon appetite.
