Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 shortbread cookies (or your favorite sturdy cookie)
- 12–15 chocolate truffles (round, festive varieties work best)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves
- Optional: powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Arrange the shortbread cookies in a circular, wreath-like shape on a large serving platter. Slightly overlap the cookies to create a cohesive base.
- Evenly place chocolate truffles around the cookies, leaving space between each for additional decorations.
- Nestle fresh raspberries between the truffles to add festive pops of red color.
- Tuck fresh mint leaves around the raspberries and truffles to create a lush, green wreath-like appearance.
- Optional: Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a snow-kissed effect.
- Chill the wreath in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving to set the decorations and enhance the flavors. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For added variety, try substituting cranberries for raspberries or gingerbread cookies for the shortbread base.
- This dessert is best assembled fresh on the day it will be served. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Avoid freezing the wreath as the fresh mint and raspberries may lose their texture.
