DESSERTS

WINNER

Specially Selected Trifle With Spiced Plum & Gin, £3.49

Just how trifles should be – rich on booze, but not overpowering or sickly. The fruity flavours work well together. A clever festive twist on an old classic.

RECOMMENDED

Specially Selected Yule Log, £2.99

Some decorating is required, which can be a fun activity to get the kids involved. An easy crowd-pleaser, it doesn’t ‘crumb’ on cutting, and the chocolate centre stays moist long after slicing – if you can leave it that long, of course!
