Top 5 Desserts to gorge on this Christmas in Mumbai
Soak up the Christmas festive spirit as you dig into decadent treats
21 Dec, 2018 by Mini Ribeiro
Christmas is undoubtedly one of the most popular feasts across the world and it is no different in Mumbai. It is all about savouring good food and wine. No Christmas celebration is complete without the traditional sweets - Marzipans, Neuris, Kulkuls and Guava Cheese. Equally popular are the Christmas Cake and the rich pudding. Christmas cakes are made in many different ways, but generally, they are variations of the classic fruitcake. These can be light, dark, moist, dry, heavy, spongy, leavened or unleavened. Several places in Mumbai offer delectable Christmas cakes and desserts, which are a must-have to usher in the festive spirit. My top 5 favourites:
Traditional Christmas Cake at Patisserie & Delicatessen, Trident, Bandra Kurla
You cannot possibly go through Christmas season without indulging in the classic Christmas cake. This rich most cake with fruits, spices and alcohol, is a heady treat, a slice of which is a must on Christmas.
Strawberry Mascarpone at Bake House Café, Kalaghoda, Fort
With strawberries abounding this season, tucking into a sinful and creamy strawberry tart, is an absolute must. The tart strawberries meshed into the creamy mascarpone and the crisp tart, adding the right texture is an irresistible combo and undoubtedly the pièce de résistance at Bake House.
Christmas Pudding with Brandy Custard at Olive Bar & Kitchen, Bandra
To round off that perfect Christmas lunch, a helping or two, of this classic pudding with a dollop of custard is a must-have. This steamed pudding is light, moist and boasts of distinct fruit flavours. Doused with brandy custard, it leaves a rich after-taste in your mouth and you know Christmas is here.

So, indulge guilt-free this Christmas as you enjoy your favourite desserts with friends and family. After all, Christmas comes, but once a year.
