Crumbles are a great dish at this time of year, and they are so simple to make, as you let the fruit bubble and soften, and the topping gets crisp on the top, so why not make this simple dessert yourself? Plus, with two portions of fruit, you’ll be getting in some really natural sweetness; a great combination.

If you really want to wow your guests, then you can’t go too far wrong with a souffle. They can be a bit of a labor of love, but they are dish that is ready to go right from the oven. The lemon flavor is fresh and zingy which can be quite refreshing after a big savory meal. It is extra fancy too, so will be sure to wow your guests.

A sticky date pudding to have with cream or custard is a great choice at this time of the year. It is warm, comforting, and cosy, and tastes great, of course. It is perfect for cold night in, and can be super simple to make, using dates, eggs, flour, and sugar. The smells that the cake makes are perfect for this time of year too, and you could even add a sprinkle of cinnamon for something extra festive.

Churros with Chocolate Sauce

Just imagine sitting in on a cold winter evening with family all around, munching on hot churros that are dusted in cinnamon sugar, and then you’re dipping them in rich and warm chocolate sauce. You are making your grocery list right now, aren't you? It is just such a good combination for winter. They are easier than you think to make yourself too. Just make sure that you have the right kind of piping tool to make the churros, and then they are deep-fried for a few moments, like you would with a donut.

You don’t have to have French toast for breakfast; it works really well as a dessert. Dipping your favorite bread into egg, then fried is a dream (and quick and easy treat). The good news is that you can top it with pretty much anything as well. You can drizzle melted chocolate over it, or sprinkle with some more of that delicious cinnamon sugar.
