Mince Pies

These nut based mince pies are perfect to make for the holidays! The great thing

about these bases is that they will last in the fridge for 2-3 days if covered. You can just quickly add the mince along with some toppings. So you don’t feel pressured into eating them all at once!

3. Now place 12 cup cake cases inside a cupcake baking tray (Use a deep cupcake tray to help shape).
4. Create small balls and place inside each cupcake case
5. With your thumbs press down the ball and create a cup (make sure to not make this too thin otherwise it will fall apart when eating).
6. Place in the fridge for 1 hour (the longer the better) to allow the base to set.

8. Feel free to top with either pomegranate seeds or pink lady apple cut into shapes. Then finally a sprinkling of ground almonds or coconut.
