You put so much work into her and now she’s rock hard? Don’t worry, Santa hasn’t said the last word yet. Even if it is no longer fresh, it can be turned into a lot of delicious dishes, all you need is a little imagination.
Look around the kitchen and think about what you like. You can easily revive a hardened Christmas cake in milk with an egg and use it to make classic fried pieces that smell of butter and cinnamon. Cut the Christmas tree into thin slices, dip them in a mixture of milk, eggs and sugar and fry them in a pan.
Result? Soft and fragrant slices that taste great with jam or fruit. Known as poor knights, this old recipe is simple and always works.

But if you’re looking for something more creative, try grinding a Christmas tree. In a blender, you can create a smooth mixture in no time, which you can use as a base for cookies. Just add a little butter, sugar and maybe cocoa or ground nuts. Form the dough, shape into small balls and bake until golden. These cookies will have a unique buttery taste and go perfectly with your afternoon coffee.
Another option is to use Christmas for unbaked desserts. Mix the ground Christmas cake with a little butter, rum and raisins. Form small balls and wrap them in, for example, coconut, cocoa or crushed nuts. Simple, quick and ideal when you have a sweet tooth but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
But Christmas does not have to turn into only sweet dishes. If you dry it well and grind it, it will serve as an original breadcrumb. This homemade breadcrumbs are great for coating meat or roasting vegetables. The butter base of Christmas cookies gives the dish a delicate taste that cannot be replaced with regular breadcrumbs.
Throwing away food is pointless. A hardened Christmas tree can shine again. So what, will you give her a second chance?
