Everything But The Kitchen Sink Ice Cream

How was everybody’s Christmas?

Chocolate Log Christmas Cake - Bakemas Day 24

It’s Christmas Eve and the last bakemas post of the year is here! Although I am kind of looking forward to a day off I’m pretty bummed I have to stop with the festive bakes.

Gingerbread Hot Chocolate with Mini Star Ice Cream Sandwiches - Bakemas Day 23

How is it Christmas Eve TOMORROW, this month has flown by way too fast; I’ve not watched enough Christmas films and I’ve definitely not stared at enough Christmas trees!

Chocolate & Chestnut Roulade - Bakemas Day 22

Ever since I made this I’ve but in a constant state of either eating or wanting to eat this roulade.

Cinnamon Candied Nuts (Vegan & Processed Sugar Free) - Bakemas Day 21

I made candied nuts without refined sugar, excuse me while I do a quick happy dance!

Apple & Lentil Stuffing Balls - Bakemas Day 20

I’ll take a plate of these for Christmas dinner please and thank you!

Christmas Pudding Ice Cream Sandwiches - Bakemas Day 19

I have been excited about this recipe since last Christmas, it’s been sitting on my bakemas ideas list all year and I finally FINALLY got to make them.

After Dinner Peppermint Truffles - Bakemas Day 18

I know it’s only been 5 days but I have more truffles!

Almond & Brandy Christmas Porridge/Oatmeal - Bakemas Day 17

If there’s ever a time to sneak a little brandy in your breakfast it’s definitely Christmas.
Full disclosure: I'm not saying you should do this everyday, I do not promote breakfast drinking...I just promote Christmas...and eating...and recipes...and maybe they contain brandy...occasionally...when the season calls for it.

Cherry Hot Chocolate - Bakemas Day 16

Yes I dipped the rims of my glasses again, yes it was kind of unnecessary, yes you can completely skip this step because it’s not even party of the recipe it just adds a little magic and ‘snow’ to the glasses...two of my favourite things. I can grantee the next drink recipe will not have chocolate dipped glasses and you can hold me to that.

Mince Pie Marzipan Swirl - Bakemas Day 15

This recipe is a mixture of three things I love, scones, mince pies and these sticky almond buns I made a few years ago.

Chocolate & Brandy Cupcakes with Toffee Sauce - Bakemas Day 14

Nothing says Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year like booze in your cupcakes!

Chocolate Orange Truffles - Bakemas Day 13

Move over Terry’s chocolate orange there’s a new kid in town!

Apple & Cranberry Quinoa Salad - Bakemas Day 12

Sometimes in the middle of copious amounts of mince pies and truffles you just need a big ole’ bowl of salad...just sometimes!

Pomegranate, Pistachio & Coconut Dark Chocolate Bark - Bakemas Day 11

Christmas without chocolate? I don’t think so!

Toffee Apple Crumble Pies - Bakemas Day 10

You know what every Sunday needs? Apple pie, lots of apple pie!

Forest Fruit & Ginger Pimms - Bakemas Day 9

I’m kind of surprised I’m back here again, second Saturday in a row and I have another drink recipe.

Chestnut, Cranberry & Cashew Broccoli - Bakemas 8

Vegan Coconut Brandy Cream - Bakemas Day 7

This is one of those staple recipes you need for any Christmas. It’s so simple to whip up and you can put it with pretty much any dessert and it’ll taste good. Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, mince pies, mousse, chocolate cake; seriously you name it and it probably tastes good.

Raw Christmas Pudding - Bakemas Day 6

Gingerbread Popcorn - Bakemas Day 5

Gingerbread flavoured popcorn...because gingerbread seems to be the flavour I want to make everything this year!

Beetroot & Broccoli Chickpea Crumble - Bakemas Day 4

Its Monday morning, December 4th and it seems I’m all ready for testing Christmas dinner recipes which is what we’re doing here today. I mean this doesn’t have to be a Christmas dinner recipe it can be an any night of the week dinner but I figured I’d get a head start so I have a couple of options.

Sticky Toffee Porridge/Oatmeal with Coconut Cream & Toffee Sauce - Bakemas Day 3

What’s a winters Sunday without an elaborate porridge recipe!

It’s been pretty cold here recently and the frosty mornings are in full swing; there’s something about a frosty morning that makes me so happy inside, it just looks so magical. So Sundays mean cosy pyjamas, hot chocolate and a warm breakfast in front of the Christmas tree.

Iced Peppermint Hot Chocolate - Bakemas Day 2

I was planning on waiting to put this up because it’s all kinds of festive and I realise on the second of December some people are still in the “Christmas is ages away” place but honestly I was in full on Christmas mode before November even arrived and I can’t wait to share this it’s so delicious.

Cherry & Pistachio Double Chocolate Chip Cookies - Bakemas Day 1

And so it begins; 24 days of me running round the house like a crazy woman!
