But there’s more to an USHA Sandwich Griller than what meets the eye. In fact, this apparatus can be used to prepare gooey, chocolatey, warm and sweet Christmas treats that are so delectable, they will last on a plate for no longer than a minute. These sweet Christmas treats are easy to make and require minimum effort, but are delicious and luxurious enough to put a festive spin on the dessert menu.
Chocolate Peppermint Melt Toasties
Minty, melty and thoroughly Christmas-y, peppermint toasties can be made very efficiently in the sandwich griller especially when you are hosting a gathering at home. These are warm and comforting yet sharp and fresh sweet treats that would light up your taste buds. Dark mint chocolate and crushed candy canes can be layered between two slices of milk bread and put in the sandwich griller. The chocolate will melt into a delicious, gooey offering and the candy canes will sparkle when heated slightly to deliver a rich dessert experience. Swipe cream cheese across the finished toasties for a bit of a cheesecake-like finish.
Christmas Fruit Mince Pie Pockets
Turn phyllo pastries into delicious golden-coloured warm, grilled bakes in the sandwich griller. A quick recipe to make festive mince pies, this involves stuffing phyllo pastries with fruit mince. Seal off the edges with butter and grill until the pastry crisps adequately. These delicious, low-effort festive mince pie pockets can be served warm with a cinnamon powder sprinkling for the garnish and a scoop of vanilla ice cream – for sheer indulgence.
Gingerbread Cake Sandwiches
Turn the staple gingerbread loaf made during winter weather into mouthwatering, warm, melty holiday sandwiches. Place a marshmallow or a layer of chocolate in between two pieces of homemade gingerbread cake and place them in the sandwich griller for a few minutes. Grill briefly until they become gooey and serve warm with hot chocolate. These sandwiches will put a Christmas s’mores-style spiced edge on the festive dessert spread. Garnish them with a hint of chocolate shavings or sprinkles for a more decorative touch.
