Tropical meringue, pandoro cake and crunchy. Three exciting ideas to close the menu with an easy and impressive Christmas dessert
When you think of an easy Christmas dessert, ideas are focused on tarts and cookies. Spicy, decorated and perfumed, they are what it takes to give even more taste to a magical moment like that of the afternoon snack, to do maybe in front of a good Christmas movie. But if we talk about Christmas lunches or dinners, we must think of something more. Such as a rich meringata, a dreamy pandoro cake and a crisp stellar.
These three preparations will require less than an hour each time and can also be easily achieved by who is not expert in pastry recipes. Here are the three proposals and clues to choose your favorite.
Meringue with tropical fruits
This is the perfect dessert for those who want to leave everyone speechless. In fact, no one will suspect his simple realization that he points everything up two meringue discs which will be filled with a cream made of white chocolate, tropical fruits and whipped cream. The final scenographic effect owes everything to the colors of the physalis, the papaya, the mango and the carambola. Therefore the only possible criticality is hidden in the last one decoration phase. Look carefully at the photo of our recipe and replicate the same decoration to get the best result.
Pandoro cake with cream and raspberries
The classic pandoro cut and stuffed has some more chance presented in this mode. Raspberries, whipped cream and powdered sugar create the pleasant effect of a snowy forest and the cake (which you will have prepared in this case too, simply working on cream and decorations) will be a real show for eyes and palate.
To ensure that the cream is still at the time of service and that pandoro does not get wet, it is advisable prepare all the ingredients in advance is whip the dessert a few minutes before bringing it to the table.
Crunchy almonds
The crunchy is a must for the Christmas holidays that brings us back to the beautiful atmosphere of the Christmas markets and gives intense emotions to every bite. Usually you buy already ready because the traditional cooling phase on the marble floor is not replicable by everyone in the house and can scare a little. In this simplified version, however, we will pour almonds and caramel in a star-shaped mold, flattening the mixture with a simple meat fillet.
To enrich it and turn it into a complete Christmas dessert, you can serve it with a scoop of powdered milk chocolate ice cream with caramelized almond slivers.
