Pavlova is different to a normal meringue in that the centre is supposed to be thick and soft and marshmallowy with just a thin crispy crust around the edge, so it really does work best if you make a big slab.
I agree with everyone else in the comments about the Pavlova- definitely need a bigger one because the texture is different. Also, my family puts passionfruit pulp from a tin or fresh!!
Have you ever made or eaten lussekatter? They are sweet saffron buns with raisins. We eat them in Sweden during Advent and Christmas, I think other Nordic countries have them too. They are fab!
OOOH Looking forward to this one! Holidays desserts are THE BEST! Thank you Grace for constantly motivating me to have a positive and healthy relationship with food. I really admire how "normal" you are when it comes to eating and I cannot thank you enough for that. Keep rockin' 🎄
Ahhh æbleskiver! 😍 you did great! The pancake balls are actually traditionally made with no filling (or maybe apples) and then eaten with icing sugar and jam on the side (like a dip) + gløgg (hot, spiced wine with almonds and raisins) as a drink!
Grace!!!!! from a New Zealander you’ve got to try make a big Christmas pavalova one time especially for papa booth to try not just the mini ones the big one is so fluffy in the middle and not chewy youllll love it
I agree! Those were great meringue nests, but pavlova doesn't have the hollowed out middle part so it becomes marshmellow-y in the middle (and not a little, a LOTTLE).
Hi Grace, my daughter was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in the summer, so this is our 1st Christmas of trying to find tasty baked goodies that are gluten free, maybe testing/ baking some free from festive treats would be a idea for a vlogmas video. X
If you want to make them yourself, from experience biscuits are the easiest to make gluten free without noticing the difference. But with anything you make just add a little xanthum gum to your gluten free flour to replace the gluten. Things like pastry tend to be stickier so roll it out between 2 sheets of cling film or baking paper instead of directly onto the worktop. If you're looking to buy them, Co-op and Tesco are normally quite good for free from stuff, but it depends on the store (and often store managers have little control over stock). Most supermarkets have a free from section though. Just watch out for products that slap the free from label on so they can charge more, but wouldn't usually contain the thing they're free from anyway.
Pavlova could be a good gluten free option, off the top of my head, and maybe macaroony biscuits as well [almond meal/coconut with egg whites, sugar, and some spices can be really nice]
Hi I'm also gluten intolerant and there are some very easy but incredibly delicious GF peanut butter choc chip cookies which is just 4 ingredients....peanut butter, sugar, egg and chocolate chips. These disappear fast! And very much enjoyed by non GF people too 😉
Watching your videos has made me want to go back to culinary school. I did it for a year and left, but your videos made me realize that it's my actual passion.
Hi Grace. Because you asked for video ideas might i suggest one? Christmas is a happy time for many of us but for some it is a time Of sorrow. Many of us come from a place of privilege and this time of year seems to be when we think about helping those who are less fortunate. I think one barrier is that they don’t always know where to start…..adopt. A family, angel tree tags, Christmas hampers, food banks and soup kitchens are all ways to answer the call of good citizenship. Your platform and beautiful kind spirit might help inspire viewers to do something extra for somebody who needs it this year….could you do a video that explores ways to help others please? I don’t often comment but I really enjoy your channel.
I know in Australia, our grocery stores have recommended recipes. If you have anything like that in the UK would be cool to see you try and make what they recommend for Christmas!
13:55 "Honestly, being the youngest child you have so many things you have to to get over in your head" I felt that to my very core haha..I was a VERY gullible child and had 2 older sister's. They made me truly believe they were magic! One Christmas they secretly convinced the entire family to get in on one of their "magic tricks". They told me they were going to do one of their magic tricks on me, so I eagerly sat down to see what would happen (I was a very willing participant in these "magic tricks" may I add) I would close my eyes and they would say their magic words and puff a white cloud of talc powder in the air. This particular time they made me believe i could only hear them, nothing else. They got the whole family to mime conversations between each other, my dad even pretended to sing and play his guitar! I was absolutely convinced they were magic 🎩👏...hahaha turns out I was just quite gullible.
Ahh so happy you made my white choc tart recipe! It deffo is more like a white choc custard tart, but is soo yummy! I cant wait to make it again for Xmas!
Æbleskiver translates to "Apple slices" actually, because back in the day they had actual apple in them. The ones we buy in the store usually doesn´t - but when people make them themselves they sometimes do. We serve it with jam (raspberry or strawberry) and powdered sugar.
Loving this! My aunt started doing Pavlova some years ago for Christmas. I quite like it. Acts as a "palate cleanser" for the richer deserts. VIDEO IDEA: You could also do a "different versions of x" from different countries. E.g. Rice pudding (there are so many different versions from different countries, with coconut or raisins or different spices or eggs) or apple pie (the US apple pie is quite different from the Dutch or French one). ;)
As an Aussie, my first thought was “I should have suggested pavlova” and it was first up! Yay! As a kid I hated pav because my grandparents always made it from a product called “pavlova magic” which is an instant powder thingie. But since having it made from scratch it’s so good.
We eat the soft gingerbread cake with whipped cream and lingonberries in Sweden. And our gingerbread cookies are much more thinn and crispy, I enjoy them with blue cheese 👌🏼
Not sure I should be watching xmas desserts when all I want to do is drown my sorrow’s with desserts and chocolate (boyfriend broke up with me couple hours ago unfortunately) and I don’t have anything in the house for desserts or the money either haha but watching you cheers me up and always puts a smile on my face xxxxxx
We also have a specific rice porrigde in denmark we eat in december, often for dinner (with cinnamon sugar and butter) and a cold rice pudding that is our traditionel christmas dessert
I always wanted to make a pavlova for Christmas! Like not even a pavlova, but a giant pudding a la Petunia Dursley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. That looked so good
Such a relaxing video. Other than pie, our only festive family dessert is “pink stuff” which is pretty much just homemade whipped cream with sweetened cranberries. Also, have you watched the show Miranda. Mentioning “moist” reminded me of it. It’s British but has been off air for a bit. It’s one of my faves, and I feel like you would like it. Haha
I made chili today and added cacao because it is delicious and really changes the taste, I have no idea why it didn't catch on. I even have cacao from Mexico. Great video! I make aebleskiver all the time, my ex's grandmother was Danish and gave me the recipe, they are so fun and I like adding chocolate to the middle or lingonberry jam. I still want your mum's recipe for cabbage.
Hi, New Zealander here. I personally hate Pavlova, but you need to make the big one because the texture is 100% not the same as a meringue nest. The pav is all soft and almost gooey in the middle.
If you want to try delicious Swedish Christmas desserts I recommend saffron buns (use normal swedish cinnamon bun recipe, not the lussekatt one, and put like 2-3 packages of saffron in dough and instead of cinnamon paste use vanilla paste!), ostkaka (which is a ''cake'' made of cottage cheese, almonds, sugar etc.) and lastly Ris a la Malta which is a rice pudding made of rice porridge, whipped cream, sugar and topped with a fruit sauce or oranges :) DELICIOUS
Ah, you definitely need to try Cincinnati chili if you don't think chocolate & chili have caught on. It's flipping fantastic! Definitely going to try the Icelandic pepper cookies but going to try to make it keto/low carb. Thanks for showing us some new things to try out.
Video idea: blind taste test with papa Booth of mince pies. Rating from best to worst. Budget to high end. Or blind taste test of all different varieties of chocolates and guessing flavors, brand etc.....n Roses, Quality street, Hero's, Celebrations etc.....
I was just wondering if your dad had told you that things in the oven slid a certain way because your house is built on a hill, when you went ahead and told us some of the things you WERE told as the youngest child. 🧡 If you scramble around on the floor under your oven, you should find a levelling leg that will take account of your hill-built house (just in case the builders didn't!) Love your videos!!
Oo yes I had forgotten you'd said you were doing this video. Excited as agree Christmas desserts are tricky if you're like me and hate mince pies, Christmas pudding and Christmas cake. Don't like all the dried fruit and alcohol tastes. Do love a Yule log though or vienetta ice cream is the usual emergency back up lol
Yes pavlova is so delish, with blueberries and strawberries and eaten with the kiwi version of ambrosia is a family favorite at christmas. But sorry Delia's recipe is not pavlova. Wheres the malt vinegar (kiwi classic), corn flour and vanilla?
Please try and make a gingerbread house! Either a store bought one and you try your best to decorate it or go all out and make the gingerbread itself too. I dunno how ambitious you wanna get. If you buy a store bought one, you might wanna buy two in case one of the cookies cracks in shipping.
Also a youngest child here. I got told the tiny black money spiders in the UK are actually venomous and that if you drank water after it had been sat around overnight you would die. So many terrifying moments growing up! 😬
You talking about what jesse told you when you were five reminded me of when my brother told me that if I shower with water that's too hot the water heater would explode and the worry that this sentence had put in me was unreal

Lots of things work well in a big slab. You should try putting a slab of cookie dough in the oven 😁
It would be so fun to see you try limited edition Christmas themed foods/snacks! Loved this vid!!
love this idea
Yes plz!!

Proud of you for making Pavlova. Kiwis and Aussies been arguing for years who made it first, It's definitely KIWI baby!!
YESSSS :)
She’s gotta do a big one though so you get that yummy marshmallow middle
@@katiestroud400 exactlyyyy
@@katiestroud400 Yes for sure that is the best bit and the little bit of chew from the edges ooh la la
A proper pavlova has either vinegar or lemon juice (some type of acid) to make marshmallow texture but they all look delicious Grace good job! 💕
Grace: no-one wants to see-
Me: that's where you're wrong honey (I could watch Grace watching paint dry, I know she'd make something fun out of it 💛)

As a Dutch person I’m quite excited about you knowing about poffertjes hehe
They're so good!! I had some in Amsterdam a few years ago and they were DELICIOUS !
Same!
the way it's pronounced in English cracks me up

ahhh the crunch on the outside and chewy inside is lush 😍 not a fan of cream added but lots of berries 😛 chef's kiss
Would be fun to see you make a gingerbread house from scratch and decorate it or to make a 3D Christmas themed sponge cake
Grace saying Poffertjes made my dutch heart warm up
it wouldn’t be a grack cooking vid without grace dropping something🤣

Check out “How to cook smarter” channel; he does amazing things with oats😁

I love ginger cake! I made one that had ground ginger, candied ginger pieces and was infused with a ginger syrup. It was heaven!

Oh my you should make your own advent calendar one year with teeny tiny bakes

This sounds absolutely delish 👍
You're the best grace. Always put a smile on my face ❤️ Love and hugs from South Africa 🤗🤗
Awww, poor Grace dropping the dessert, especially when she liked it!!! I pray that you won't beat yourself up too much for it, Grace!
I love that you are doing vlogmas! You always put a smile on my face when you post💖
Not sure I should be watching xmas desserts when all I want to do is drown my sorrow’s with desserts and chocolate (boyfriend broke up with me couple hours ago unfortunately) and I don’t have anything in the house for desserts or the money either haha but watching you cheers me up and always puts a smile on my face xxxxxx
*hugs* x hope you get to have some Christmas treats soon and it helps to heal your heart 💕
I'm so sorry hun 💜 I don't know you but i hope you're doing OK and will get through this 💜
Take care of yourself! Wishing you all the desserts you deserve x
One birthday, my mum made me a chocolate pavlova, served with whipped cream and raspberries! It was the best!
We also have a specific rice porrigde in denmark we eat in december, often for dinner (with cinnamon sugar and butter) and a cold rice pudding that is our traditionel christmas dessert
Corn syrup is actually illegal in the UK. Its found in alot of American food/desserts but its quite bad for you, hence being made illegal 😆
My mum makes a flat pavlova then fills it with chocolate, cream, and berries and rolls it up (I'm from New Zealand) - it's so good!
aa I'm in school right now but so excited to go home, open my herbal tea advent calendar and watch this!!
My family is Italian and we always have black pepper cookies on Christmas. It’s a chocolate and pepper dough with a glaze on top
Ma dai! Di dove siete? ❤️
Can I just say (as a Dutch person) that your pronounciation of poffertjes was SO GOOD
The amount that you drop your bakes on the floor is either hilarious or concerning 😂
Looking forward to Christmas so much this year!! This is getting me hyped up for it🎄🎅🏼
I always wanted to make a pavlova for Christmas! Like not even a pavlova, but a giant pudding a la Petunia Dursley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. That looked so good
We usually do a cranberry upside down cake.
I'm Dutch and surprisingly you pronounce 'poffertjes' really well! Love it. And love you videoooos
Omg yayyy you made æbleskiver! Its normalt served with powder sugar and jam which you dip it in. So happy to see you making some danish food😊👏🏻
Wow I've never been so early! Getting me in the mood for delicious Christmas desserts, that pavlova looks lush😍
Snow has been predicted tomorrow in the Paris area!
Those pancakes look INSANE!! especially the Nutella ones 😋

I almost started to cry when you showed the dessert on the ground
Can't believe you dropped the white chocolate tart 🙈🤣 (well I kinda can) lol ! Bless you xx
You need the æbleskive pan to make Them right. They Will de light and airy and no filing only dip in jam and icing sugar
grack baking with her hood up is a vibe
LIVING for this content!!!🎄
Yess finally a danish recipe!

ooh I'm so surprised you know what poffertjes are haha! It was exactly what I thought when I saw the picture of the pancake balls :)
When I use strawbs out of season, I give them a light coat with jam! 😁
I got a new oven this week. Too scared to turn it on! Trying to get courage up watching our queen baking.
ohh the poor tart. Don't know why but my brain took me to the episode where Chandler and Rachel dropped that delicious cheesecake on the 🤣
If you want to try delicious Swedish Christmas desserts I recommend saffron buns (use normal swedish cinnamon bun recipe, not the lussekatt one, and put like 2-3 packages of saffron in dough and instead of cinnamon paste use vanilla paste!), ostkaka (which is a ''cake'' made of cottage cheese, almonds, sugar etc.) and lastly Ris a la Malta which is a rice pudding made of rice porridge, whipped cream, sugar and topped with a fruit sauce or oranges :) DELICIOUS
I love pepper cookies they are the best with milk.
We put cream and grated up peppermint crisp on our pav, or cream and passionfruit pulp
I have never been so fast! You are the best Grace 😊
I personally wanna make a Christmas wreath but i want Grace to do it first so i feel more assured of myself if i do it x
Yes! Show us what to do here, Gracie!
My dream in life is to have a sleepover at graces cos I know the snacks would be immaculate
Your vlogs always makes me feel so happy and calm 😊
if you do another one of these please do gevulde speculaas (dutch spice cookies filled with marzipan) theyre SO good! my family makes them every year
Ah, you definitely need to try Cincinnati chili if you don't think chocolate & chili have caught on. It's flipping fantastic!
Definitely going to try the Icelandic pepper cookies but going to try to make it keto/low carb. Thanks for showing us some new things to try out.
8:21 In the USA, the phrase "free balling" has a complete different meaning 🤣
I bet the warm cookies would go great with a turmeric latte
Gonna steal that gingerbread recipe, looks absolutely delicious 💙💙
Im from Iceland and a different recipe for the pepper cookie would be better, they are supposed to look dark brown and have more spices in them.
Video idea: blind taste test with papa Booth of mince pies. Rating from best to worst. Budget to high end. Or blind taste test of all different varieties of chocolates and guessing flavors, brand etc.....n Roses, Quality street, Hero's, Celebrations etc.....
My fav pavlova peach and kiwi

Is anyone else missing the vegan options a little bit? Still watch every video though! Love Grack!
Chocolate pecan pie
Apple pie
Pumpkin maple pie .
This is our Christmas desserts
EARLY CABT WAIT TO WATCH!!
Denmark had the audacity to rename poffertjes to pancake balls
this is the vibeee
Omg Grace where is your smiley whisk from?? It's so cool!!!!
You needed to add passionfruit pulp over the pavlova!
Oo yes I had forgotten you'd said you were doing this video. Excited as agree Christmas desserts are tricky if you're like me and hate mince pies, Christmas pudding and Christmas cake. Don't like all the dried fruit and alcohol tastes. Do love a Yule log though or vienetta ice cream is the usual emergency back up lol

Grace you’re doing vlogmas AND normal main channel vids?? Don’t overwork yourself love, make sure you’re taking care of yourself ♥️
You should try to do a super festive all vegan Christmas dinner for you and your fam 🎄🎄 happy Christmas month 🎉🎉
My family has gingerbread cake but with applesauce and warm toffee sauce. It’s really good! Maybe you just need a different recipe.
Always a pleasure to join your channel thank you!
We always eat either black forest cake or cream puffs in the form of swans or bulgarian honey cakes :)
Thank you much love xx
Yes pavlova is so delish, with blueberries and strawberries and eaten with the kiwi version of ambrosia is a family favorite at christmas. But sorry Delia's recipe is not pavlova. Wheres the malt vinegar (kiwi classic), corn flour and vanilla?
I’m American, but Pavlova is the best!!!! 😍
Please try and make a gingerbread house! Either a store bought one and you try your best to decorate it or go all out and make the gingerbread itself too. I dunno how ambitious you wanna get. If you buy a store bought one, you might wanna buy two in case one of the cookies cracks in shipping.
Also, it's already snowed up north here in Leeds, so stay hopeful! It may snow down south later on too :)
Also a youngest child here. I got told the tiny black money spiders in the UK are actually venomous and that if you drank water after it had been sat around overnight you would die. So many terrifying moments growing up! 😬
It just snowed in Belgium today which is not very common :D
You talking about what jesse told you when you were five reminded me of when my brother told me that if I shower with water that's too hot the water heater would explode and the worry that this sentence had put in me was unreal
Can you do a review of stocking fillers gifts available in supermarkets or highstreet stores like Poundland, b&m, Wilko etc
My dad told me that if I'm not asleep by midnight I'll turn into a pumpkin
