Three desserts for the holiday table
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Homemade candies made from dried fruits and nuts have become a classic, but adding a bit of orange zest or cinnamon turns them into a fragrant and healthy Christmas treat. I also recommend preparing a few types of portioned desserts, such as small no-bake chocolate cheesecakes. A sweet fresh lemonade would be the perfect drink to go with them. All these desserts can be made in just one hour! Delight your loved ones during the holidays.
