    Keep warm this winter with this collection of rich, delicious desserts perfect for a cosy night indoors. From classic self-saucing puddings to sweet fruit crumbles and all things cinnamon spiced, there is sure to be a recipe here for everyone to indulge a little before the cooler weather is over.

    17 Desserts to Make Before Winter is Over

    I cannot think of anything better than getting comfortable on the couch with a blanket, some woolly socks and a bowl of warm pudding and vanilla ice cream. There is something so relaxing and indulgent about enjoying rich dessert in the winter, and so I wanted to take a moment to celebrate the best recipes.

    Nothing says self-care like enjoying an end to the evening with a hot chocolate pudding, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. So what will you make first?

    1. Vegan Sticky Date Pudding with Caramel Sauce

    An absolute classic recipe but without the eggs and dairy! It’s rich, sticky and sweet and super easy to make, no wonder it’s one of the most popular recipes on my site year after year.
