Christmas is the perfect excuse to enjoy an extra few treats, and I certainly think there's always room for cheesecake.
I've been busy getting my Christmas flavours ready for you all and this year I've got eight festive additions joining some of my other popular flavours.
There's plenty of choice, from chocolate and hazelnut to traditional Christmas favourites and something a little more unusual. Whether you like to stick with the classics or fancy trying something a little different, there's plenty to tempt you!
But which one would you choose? To help you pick I've had a little fun matching my Christmas cheesecakes to different personalities. Whether you're all about chocolate, love the traditional flavours of Christmas or prefer something a little more unusual, there's a festive favourite waiting for you. Let's see which one sounds most like you.
TThe Extra Indulgent Ones
Christmas calls for a little gluttony!
If you love a rich, indulgent dessert, these two are definitely worth a look. One is packed with chocolate and hazelnut, while the other brings a little Baileys to the Christmas table.
Luxury Hazelnut (Ferrero Style)
This one is all about chocolate, hazelnut and plenty of texture starts with a digestive biscuit base, with an extra layer of hazelnut biscuits hidden underneath for a little crunch. The creamy cheesecake filling is swirled with a Nutella-style chocolate hazelnut paste and packed with chopped hazelnuts, before being finished with crushed chocolate hazelnut pieces on top.
Baileys Cheesecake
What's Christmas without a little Baileys? This smooth, creamy cheesecake has that unmistakable Baileys flavour, making it a lovely choice for anyone who enjoys a little indulgence after Christmas dinner.
So, are you choosing the chocolate and hazelnut combination or going for a little Baileys?
The Chocolate Lovers
You can never have too much chocolate!
If chocolate is always your first choice, this pairing could be a difficult one to decide between. One brings together chocolate and orange, while the other combines rich chocolate with refreshing mint.
Chocolate Orange
Chocolate and orange are a Christmas classic! A delicious combination for anyone who loves the familiar taste of chocolate orange and can't resist a festive chocolate treat. I use Chocolate Orange segments on the top, but I take it a step further by adding a splash of Cointreau to really elevate that zesty orange flavour, giving it a luxurious, warming finish.
After Eight Mint Chocolate
Inspired by the classic After Eight, this cheesecake starts with a digestive biscuit base and has a rich chocolate filling made with dark chocolate and peppermint essence. To finish, a real After Eight sits on top, giving you that lovely layer of mint fondant and chocolate.
Are you Team Chocolate Orange or Team After Eight?
The Christmas Traditionalists
Some traditions are just too good to change!
The Ultimate Mince Pie Cheesecake
I've taken everything we love about a traditional mince pie and given it a cheesecake twist. It has a creamy vanilla cheesecake filling infused with warming mixed spice, with a generous layer of luxury brandy-infused mincemeat sitting on the digestive biscuit base. So, you get that lovely fruity mincemeat surprise underneath the creamy filling.
Gingerbread
A Christmas favourite with a little extra decoration. This new cheesecake edition has a ginger biscuit base and is finished with its very own gingerbread man on top. Perfect for anyone who loves the familiar warming flavour of gingerbread during the festive season.
Are you more of a mince pie person or would you choose gingerbread?
The Wild Cards
Expect the unexpected!
This pairing is certainly an interesting one! Whether you prefer a familiar chocolatey favourite or fancy something a little more adventurous, there's a choice for you here.
Oreo Cookies & Cream
A classic combination for Oreo fans! This cheesecake features a Cookies & Cream base and is a great choice for anyone who loves the familiar combination of chocolate biscuits and creamy cheesecake.
Pigs in Blanket Cheesecake
Definitely not your usual Christmas dessert! This is a savoury cheesecake made with a blend of cheeses, chopped sausage, garlic, salt and pepper, with fresh parsley and thyme for extra flavour. It's wrapped around the edge with grilled streaky bacon and finished with cranberry sauce on top for that lovely sweet-and-savoury combination.
It's certainly one to get people talking and would make a rather different addition to a Boxing Day buffet!
Would you stick with Oreo or be adventurous and try Pigs in Blankets?
Still Can't Decide? There's More to Choose From!
If none of those have quite caught your eye, don't worry. Alongside my festive additions, I'll also have some of my other popular cheesecake flavours available:
• Biscoff
• Raspberry
• Lemon
So, whether you're a chocolate lover, a fan of traditional Christmas flavours or simply can't resist a slice of cheesecake, there's something to tempt you!
