Christmas Cake Parfait

It’s that time of year when those wonderful fruitcakes and Christmas cakes start to turn up. One of those holiday traditions that you either love or if you’re like me, you can only enjoy in small doses! I’ve found a way to eat your cake in a layered and delicious version- le Parfait! Let’s face it, there is always leftover slices hanging out in the freezer months later and this is the perfect way to enjoy those lingering Christmas memories. All you need to do is layer Vanilla ice-cream, then crumble a slice of Christmas cake and top it with Chantilly whipped cream and a sprinkle of Cinnamon. These make a chic and modern holiday dessert to serve your guests!
