One of the best parts of the Christmas holiday is walking into a house that smells like someone has been baking all day. The sweet aroma of spice, apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cookie dough wafts around the house like a new type of air freshener.

Christmas desserts are a favorite part of any family Christmas gathering. What makes it even more special is that many Christmas dessert recipes are passed down from generation to generation. Maybe your grandmother had some great Christmas dessert recipes that have been passed down to you that you haven’t tried yet. Why not try them this year?

Typical Christmas desserts are: brownies, cupcakes, muffins, hard candy, chocolate candy, and cookie bars. Cakes involving candy canes, peppermint, or any other type of mint as an ingredient, garnish, or topping are often prepared for Christmas as well. In addition, any cake recipe can be adapted for Christmas with a little bit of creativity. Fudge and puddings also make wonderful Christmas desserts.

But before, after and during Christmas dessert you also need some Christmas candy.  That Christmas candy jar on the coffee table should never be empty. Christmas candy is the ice breaker when visitors come to your home. Hard candy, soft candy, citrus peel candies, truffles, brittle, and the like are all interesting treats to nibble on during Christmas. You will find plenty of Christmas candy recipes on our site as well.

How To Make It:

Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In one large bowl, mix ½ cup of the sugar, flour, salt and baking powder together and then cut in the cold butter until the flour mixture looks crumbly.
Next, stir in the boiling water into the flour mixture until it is moist evenly.
In a different bowl, mix the cold water and cornstarch together until dissolved.
Next, add the remaining sugar, lemon juice and blackberries, then pour in a large seasoned cast iron skillet.
Bring the berry mixture to a boil, constantly stirring so as to avoid burning.
The next step in the blackberry cobbler recipe is placement of the dough.
Take the berry mixture off the heat and drop spoonfuls of dough onto the top of the hot berry mixture, placing with an even hand.
Bake for approximately 20 – 30 minutes until the dough turns golden brown.

This Christmas Dessert Recipe Serves 8.

While fresh blackberries are the best for a blackberry cobbler recipe, you can use frozen berries as well. The key is to defrost what you need and pat dry to remove excess moisture. Vanilla ice cream or whipped topping is a favorite addition to a fresh out of the oven blackberry cobbler recipe too.
