Go beyond the bûche to give an authentic look to this fabulous dessert. When hardened, the layer of white chocolate shatters and mimics the texture of bark, while the cake is extra moist thanks to the drizzle of oil added to the batter. We’re confident you’ll be asked to make it again next year.

Doughnut-Hole Tower
This is a riff on the “croquembouche” (translation: crunch in the mouth) invented in France in 1700, traditionally made with choux pastry balls piled high and held together with caramel strands. It’s served as a wedding cake in France and Italy.

Clementine and Gingerbread Cookie Trifle
A throwback to the gingerbread houses we used to build as kids (or will build as adults), this fluffy-and-crunchy flavour combination steps up its game with homemade candied clementines. The seasonal staple shines in decorative slices along with a delicate custard with marmalade notes—the perfect foil to its buttery spice cookie topping.

Chocolate Profiterole Trifle
This riff on the festive French dessert packs on more cream puff pleasure than ever with just enough pastry to provide the right amount of substance. Topped with delicate, soft choux balls and luscious licks of fudge sauce, it’s a handsome conversation piece and toast-worthy finale to any feast.

Farfalle Salad with Apple, Cranberry and Feta
This fresh take on a potluck staple gets its tangy flavour (and festive colouring) from a combination of diced apple, red onion and chopped arugula. It has family favourite written all over it!

Pistachio and White Chocolate Spread
This sweet, three-ingredient spread is a sophisticated twist on the heavenly union of nuts and chocolate. Mellow pistachios meld with white chocolate to make a spread that’ll teach taste buds the new meaning of yum. Enjoy it smeared on a slice of country bread, atop a piece of carrot cake or (we won’t tell) straight from the jar.

Chocolate-Covered Apricots
Halfway between a chocolate-covered berry and a Turtle®, these delectable bites celebrate holiday flavours by mixing the tender toothsome appeal of dry apricots with the crunch of a whole almond. Dip them in the highest quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for results even your third cousin once removed will approve of.
