Aldi unveils its range of deliciously decadent desserts just in time for Christmas including brand-new centrepieces plus returning festive favourites.  

Kicking off the festive season right is Aldi’s NEW Specially Selected Hazel-Nutcracker (£7.99, 400g).

Aldi has pistachio lovers covered with its NEW Specially Selected Centerpiece Pistachio Tiramisu (£8.99, 575g), available in stores from 19^th December.

Finally, topped with crumbled pistachios and finished with gold glitter for extra sparkle.  

The NEW Specially Selected Baked Alaska Bar (£5.99, 525g/510g) offers the perfect frozen bite, available in zesty Lemon Cheesecake and fruity Black Forest Cherry. The Lemon Cheesecake option boasts a biscuit crumb, complemented by lemon curd and topped off with a mallow topping, while the Black Forest Cherry includes whole Amarena cherries and chocolate sauce.

A wow factor for the table this year is most certainly the Specially Selected Centrepiece Cheesecake (£8.99, 900g) with its NEW Clementine flavour, sitting alongside the returning Billionaire’s Cheesecake.

The NEW Specially Selected Ultimate Melting Baubles (£7.99, 264g) have a bespoke chocolate shell which encloses vanilla mousse, chocolate sauce, honeycomb, brownie pieces and a white chocolate star.
