8 fantastic Christmas desserts you can simply find at the supermarket
Yippee, Christmas is just around the corner again! Are you going to be the star who takes care of an entire dinner this year? Are you going to snuggle up behind the gourmet pans in wonderfully old-fashioned style again this year? Or will you go for one of these 6 alternatives to gourmetting? Whatever you’re going to do, we all know there’s one course with which you can really make an impression. That’s right, dessert.
Now, it’s completely understandable if, after hours of slaving away in the kitchen (or hours of smelling like food behind the gourmet set), you don’t really feel like making a grand dessert as well. Good news: you don’t have to. Most supermarkets come up with genuine Christmas showstoppers every year, which are often very affordable too. What do you still need to do? Take a beautiful plate out of the cupboard to serve it on. These are the 8 most spectacular Christmas desserts you can simply find at the supermarket.
Albert Heijn Excellent Smash Bombe
This smash bombe from AH Excellent (€9.99) really is the bomb. You smash the chocolate shell with a spoon, and underneath you’ll find an incredibly cute, beautifully decorated Christmas cake. Just smashing the chocolate is a real spectacle.
Albert Heijn Excellent Christmas Tree Ice Cream Cake
Christmas through and through, this Christmas tree ice cream cake from AH Excellent (€9.99). How beautiful is that green colour, too? With a core of vanilla ice cream and strawberry sorbet. A feast for the eyes and the stomach.
Jumbo Star Ice Cream Cake
This star ice cream cake from Jumbo (€7.99) is the star of the evening. A delicious vanilla ice cream cake filled with pieces of white chocolate and cocoa pieces with a caramel flavour. Topped with melted milk chocolate and shiny edible decorations. Do you really want to end with a bang? Then stick in a few sparklers. A radiant end to a spectacular evening.
Jumbo Ice Cream Snowmen
How cute are these ice cream snowmen from Jumbo (€3.49)? Very cute. Especially if you’re feeding kids, you can count on plenty of oohs and aahs. Ideal if you’re still looking for a peace offering for those green beans wrapped in bacon and beetroot they absolutely had to try because you insisted.
Lidl Luxury Ice Cream Desserts
Every year, Lidl releases an extensive and affordable range of Christmas products. There isn’t a gigantic showpiece with lots of bells and whistles among them (yet?), but I couldn’t keep these luxury ice cream desserts (€3.49) from you because they’re so delicious. The Coffee & Whipped Cream one in particular is truly divine. And of course, you can dress up the ice cream yourself if you like. With some extra pieces of chocolate and caramel and popcorn, for example. Let your creative Christmas spirit run wild!
Aldi Chocolate Star Ice Cream Cake
The answer to chocolate is always yes. So not much can go wrong with this star ice cream cake from Aldi (€4.69). You might want to leave some room between the main course and dessert, because this cake is quite rich. Afterwards, you can happily let your food baby grow while watching a Christmas film—only to reach for the Christmas wreath cookies and chocolates again during the film anyway.
Aldi Snow Star with Advocaat Filling
Advocaat—isn’t that the dessert only grandmothers eat? No way, and certainly not when it’s incorporated into such a delicious snow star cake from Aldi (€2.49). Serve it with a glass of champagne and you won’t hear anyone anymore. Also quite nice after all those hours of chatter and racket at the Christmas table.
Plus Feestmoment Chocolate and Pear Bomb Cake
Pears and chocolate are a very good combination. Plus understood that perfectly with this Feestmoment Bomb Cake (€7.99) featuring, yes, pears and chocolate. Beautifully finished with edible gold decoration. A real celebration to cut into.
