Egg-Free Christmas Treats

Eggs are about as universal in baking as sugar and flour, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up holiday treats if you’re sensitive or allergic to eggs. Instead of cookies, pies, and cakes, reach for decadent truffles, festive barks, and crispy, caramelized “lace.” Many of these treats double as excellent gifts. Wrap in squares of parchment paper before adding to bags or boxes. If you can enjoy eggs in desserts but are sensitive to dairy, try these dairy-free Christmas desserts.

The Quickest Holiday Dessert

View Recipe: Chocolate-Caramel Bark with Quinoa

This season, there's no need to stress or spend hours in the kitchen. Serve this simple sweet treat at your next party or wrap it up beautifully for your friends. The first ingredient in this dark chocolate bark (psst, it’s quinoa) gives this treat loads of crunch. It’s a whole grain, which definitely makes this sweet even sweeter.

These decadent chocolate-on-chocolate cookies boast full satisfaction and a dose of whole-grain goodness. And they’re ready to eat in a fraction of the time needed to prepare typical sweet treats. For added protein and a fun flavor variation, replace ½ cup cereal with ½ cup chopped toasted nuts.

Hazelnut Lace

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor
View Recipe: Hazelnut Lace

Somewhere between candy, cookie, and nut brittle lies this dessert that combines hazelnut meal (very finely ground nuts), a splash of Frangelico, and chocolate-hazelnut spread for a triple hit of nutty goodness. This sophisticated dessert, with its large, pizza-sized shape and artfully pebbled texture, only takes 21 minutes to make, so baking a second batch couldn't be easier.

Delicious and gorgeous, this chocolaty candy is topped with toasted nuts for an extra crunch. Tip: for crisp toffee, spread it thin; for crunch, go thick.

Bourbon-Caramel Truffles

View Recipe: Bourbon-Caramel Truffles

Truffles typically have the added richness of cream and butter. These ingredients help stabilize chocolate, which tends to scorch, separate, or become grainy if not heated carefully. We add corn syrup and evaporated milk for smooth, creamy confections.
