Oooh, TalkySue, my mother is a huge fan of chocolate and cherries together. I'm going to show her that one!

And here comes another one ;) I haven't tried it before, but I'll definately have this one for Christmas:
Cherry-Chocolate-Dessert (serves 4)
225g cherries, fresh
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons corn flour mixed with 2 tablespoons water
100g fromage fraise (very creamy)
2 TS milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla aroma
chocolate sauce:
50g chocolate (best 70% cocoa)
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon corn flour mixed with 1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons syrup (any kind)
Cut the cherries in half and stone them. Keep 4 cherries for decoration. Cook the cherries with 150ml water and 1 tablespoon sugar for 3-4 minutes. Add the corn-flour-water mixture and let it thicken. Take the cherries off the cooker and leave to cool. Stir now and then.
In the meantime mix the fromage fraise with milk, vanilla aroma and 1 tablespoon sugar.
Melt the chocolate together with the cocoa powder, the corn-flour-water mixture and the syrup in a pot while stirring all the time.
Put the cherries, fromage fraise and chocolate sauce in layers in 4 glasses and decorate with a cherry.
How does that sound? :)

Wow - those cookies and cake sound really great! And I've never seen any recipe like the ice cream one. But what is "gingerbread condiment"? Do you mean powdered spfce? Or is that something else?
This reminds me of a great snack for this time of year. Bear with me - it does sound weird but it's delicious. Spread port wine cheese on gingersnap cookies. That's it - yum!

Christmas Ice Cream
(for 1)
Take 150g vanilla flavoured ice cream out of the freezer and let it warm up a little until its creamy. Add half a teaspoon of gingerbread condiment and stir up. Break one or two cookies (take your fav flavor) into pieces and mix them in the ice cream. Put it back into the freezer. For food safety make sure, that you work fast!
Heat up 100g cherries (canned with some of the juice or frozen - then add a bit of water) together with a cinnamon stick. Remove the stick and serve the hot cherries with the ice cream.

I just remembered another recipe. These are my granny's X-Mas biskuits. Just great!!! Also a very good present if you are invited for coffee or tee at a friend's house.
X-Mas biskuits
250g flour (self-raising)
250g corn flour
250g sugar
250g butter
2 eggs
vanilla sugar
Simply mix all of this together, roll it out and cut out biscuits (looks great in the form of little trees or stars). Put the biscuits in the oven for about 10-15 minutes at 150°-180°C (until golden). Leave to cool down. Now you can decorate the biscuits with chocolate or marmalade.
Hmmm, yummy :)

X-MAS CAKE
4 eggs, separated
120g sugar
1 packet of chocolate pudding powder (don’t know if you get that in England, I always bought it in Lidl when I was in England – if you don’t let me know, I’ll send you some )
100g flour (self-raising)
1 table spoon gingerbread spice
Beat egg yolk and sugar until fluffy, add pudding powder, flour, beaten egg-white and spices. Put mixture in spring-clip tin and bake at 160°C (recirculating air) for 20-25 minutes. Leave to cool down.
If you want you can “pimp” the cake :
Divide the cake in the middle and add marmalade or if you like it fresh fromage fraise mixed with fruits (clementines or small oranges) and gelatine.
Hmmm… yummy

Feuerzangenbowle
The "Feuerzangenbowle" is a German alcoholic drink which is sometimes part of the Christmas and New Year's tradition. The name translates literally as "Fire Pliers Punch".
The drink is prepared in a bowl, similar to a fondue set, which usually is suspended over a small fuel burner. Fill the bowl with 1 litre of dry red wine, add a cinnamon stick, 1 - 3 cloves, a bit of orange and lemon peel and up to 250 ml of orange or lemon juice (optional).
Place the bowl in a flame-proof spot. Heat the wine including the spices but don't cook it.
Place the "Feuerzange", a metal holder for the "Zuckerhut" (sugarloaf), a large conical mass of sugar around seven inches long, above the bowl. Soak the sugar in rum, set it alight and continually add rum with a ladle until all the sugar has melted and mixed with the wine.
You will need at least 250 ml of rum and it must have a strength of at least 54% alcohol (per volume), as it would otherwise not burn properly. The resulting drink is then served in mugs and the burner keeps the bowl warm until it is emptied.
The punch owes its popularity to the famous German film comedy "Die Feuerzangenbowle" from 1944, starring Heinz Rühmann, which is based on a novel by Heinrich Spoerl.
