- Hot Cocoa Cookies by Dessert for Two. Topped with marshmallows and candy cane bits.
I recently featured the Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Crème Fraîche Glaze (photo at the top) on Instagram! You can find the cake recipe here, and top with the following glaze: whisk together 2 cups confectioners sugar, 1/4 cup crème fraîche and pinch of salt. Thin out with a little fresh lemon juice. The glaze should be thick but pourable.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Brandon, Jorge, TiVo and Federico. Wishing you and your loved ones a grand holiday feast!
