3 Pretty & IG-Worthy Treats You Can Whip Up Easily For Christmas

Thinking of what desserts you should make for your Christmas parties? We’ve got you covered! Whether you’re hosting this Christmas or attending a potluck, here are 3 pretty and IG-worthy Christmas treats that are surefire crowdpleasers. 

Not great in the kitchen? Don’t worry - these sweet treats can be easily whipped up with store-bought ingredients, so all you have to do is just assemble them! There’s wafers in all 3 desserts, so here’s a pro-tip from us: make sure to get Loacker wafers! 

Why Loacker, you ask? Firstly, their wafers contain no artificial flavouring, colouring, preservatives or hydrogenated fats, so you can indulge in these treats knowing that you’re feeding your body the best. 

Secondly, Loacker only uses 100% Italian hazelnuts, non-GMO alpine milk and sustainably-sourced cocoa from Eucador and Ivory Coast, as well as sustainably-sourced Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar. With such high-quality ingredients (that do not harm the environment in the process!), it is of little surprise that each bite of a Loacker wafer is delightfully rich and full of natural goodness. Enjoy!

Mention Christmas and the first thing that pops into mind is… presents, of course! The best part about these wafer pops is that you can even get the rest of your party to join in on the fun - just coat the Loacker Minis in chocolate ahead of time, then lay out some decorative sprinkles and chocolate in piping bags.

Ingredients:
Loacker Minis Mix (200g)
Chocolate of your choice (for melting)
Christmas-themed sprinkles
Chocolate for piping

Steps:
1. Melt the chocolate, then coat the Loacker Minis in it.
2. Set aside in the fridge for about two hours for the chocolate to harden.
3. Decorate the wafer pops however you like! 

#2 Melting snowman “cookies”

How adorable are these “cookies”? Here’s a cheat code if you don’t have time to bake your own cookies: just get a few packs of Loacker Tortina Original! It is essentially two layers of light, crispy round wafers sandwiched together with a smooth hazelnut cream filling, then coated with a layer of milk chocolate. Yes it’s a super decadent treat, but hey, it’s Christmas! 

Ingredients:
Loacker Tortina Original (3pcs/box)
1 cup icing sugar
Marshmallows
Sprinkles
Black edible ink pen

Steps:
1. Mix 1 cup of icing sugar with 3 teaspoons of water. Stir till all the sugar is dissolved.
2. Spread a layer of icing on the Loacker Tortina, then top with a marshmallow.
3. Draw eyes and mouth on the marshmallow with an edible ink pen, and add sprinkles as “buttons” for the melting snowman. Serve!

These mini Christmas cakes are not only super Instagrammable, but also easy to eat! For a surprising crunch with each bite, we recommend crushing up some Loacker Minis and spreading it in between the cake layers with some cream or chocolate spread. Just a fair warning though, these cakes are dangerously addictive! 

Ingredients:
Loacker Minis Mix (200g)
Chocolate cake
Hazelnut or chocolate spread
Whipped cream
Desiccated coconut (optional)

For garnishing
Rosemary
Cranberries
Icing sugar
Christmas toppers

1. Using a small cookie cutter, cut out small rounds of chocolate cake.
2. Crush up some Loacker Minis and mix it into the chocolate spread or whipped cream.
3. Sandwich two slices of chocolate cake together with the spread or cream. You may coat the outside of the cake with chocolate spread or desiccated coconut.
4. Garnish with toppers, rosemary and cranberries. Sprinkle some icing sugar over the decorated cakes. Serve.
