Trend: Dubai Chocolate Bars
Thick, pistachio-and-phyllo-filled chocolate bars went viral earlier this year and have remained a huge hit. Lean into the trend with these gorgeously textured mince pies with pistachio filling from Chef Julie.
Trend: Lean Into Luxury
This is the time of year when diets don't matter - it's all about celebrating! These individual mince pies feature indulgent hazelnut praline, and their single-serving size makes them a permissible luxury. Pair them with a mocha or hot chocolate for an irresistable festive menu combo.
Trend: Healthy Indulgence
Customers looking to keep their little treats on the healthier side or those with dietary restrictions can join in the celebration, too. Chef Clare England created these gluten-, egg-, and dairy-free mince pies that are full of holiday cheer.
Trend: Innovative Mash-Ups
Cruffins, brookies, cronuts, baissants... mash-ups are a fun way to remake standard favorites in an innovative format. Another winner from Chef Clare, this recipe is the perfect hybrid between a chocolate chip cookie and a mince pie. We'll leave the clever name up to you!
Trend: Ginger
Long included on the standard list of Autumn/Winter spices, ginger is becoming a star in its own right. Maybe it’s because of its health halo or its presence in many traditional global desserts. Whatever the reason, ginger is hot! Chef Mark sprinkles some gingerbread spice into these truly special mince pies for an extra dose of festive flair.
