During the holidays, our hearts warm, but the temperature remains freezing. To adapt your menu to the cold outside, frozen desserts are essential. With the traditional frozen log being the first option that comes to mind, what recipes do you turn to when you want to innovate at Christmas?
Classic or hybrid desserts
In addition to log, there are several frozen desserts: parfait (and its Italian version, semifreddo), Norwegian omelette or even profiteroles. The Norwegian omelet provides warmth and tenderness with its fiery exterior that protects its cold interior. The surprise that the combination of the two temperatures will cause will be an excellent topic of conversation to end New Year’s Eve dinner on a high note.
It is also possible to adapt desserts or cakes in a frozen version, such as soufflé or tiramisu. The opportunity to surprise your guests by allowing them to try their favorite dessert in an icy and creamy version. Obviously, the organization will be slightly different since time needs to be frozen. Therefore, we organize ourselves in advance taking this essential element into account.
Celebrated Christmas scents
Making homemade ice cream is an opportunity to start from scratch. There is the main ingredient (cream or milk) to which we add Christmas flavors: champagne, cinnamon, citrus, nougat, candied chestnuts and for the bravest, candied onion. This last flavor will go perfect with the orange coulis.
You can choose more classic aromas such as vanilla or coconut that evokes the white of snow. To add a festive spirit, simply decorate your dessert with edible decorations such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, pieces of chocolates or candied fruit. If you want to enrich the composition of your dish, you can serve these ice creams with cannoli or choux dough.
Here are 10 frozen recipes that will melt you like these desserts will on your palate. Happy tasting and happy New Year’s Eve.
