Here is an award-winning No-Bake Gluten-free Christmas Cake. This stunning and moist Christmas Cake is made with dates, cherries, raisins, pineapple and almonds. I used classics such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, orange zest, and brandy to create a rich Christmas cake flavour.

So much goodness in this festive gluten-free dessert!

no-bake Christmas cake…the ingredients,

This holiday dessert is probably one of the easiest Christmas Cake recipes. There are no added grains, and it is dairy-free. The cake is naturally sweetened with dried fruit and pure maple syrup. And, this dessert doesn’t need baking.

However, you will need a food processor because everything is chopped and creamed briefly in the food processor.

the Christmas Cake brief details,

Once everything is chopped, mixed and creamed, you will need a bowl. This bowl is lined with cling wrap (plastic wrap), and then the mixture is pressed firmly into the bowl. Next, the cake is chilled, allowing all the flavours to meld together and firm up the cake.

The best part, this Christmas Cake tastes even better the next day and the day after.

This no-bake gluten-free Christmas Cake has a coconut brandy cream sauce for extra deliciousness.

The sauce is made simply by whisking the ingredients and then chilled until ready to serve.
