I have an incredibly sweet tooth and enjoy desserts of all kinds. I also love dried fruits and nuts. So I combined my love for decadent sweets into something quick and easy to make for Christmas- Easy Christmas Log / Date and Nut Log.  Do try it and let me know how you like it. It can also be made with Indian figs and tastes simply wonderful. Whenever I make Easy Christmas Log / Date and Nut Log, I have to carefully ration it out to my husband, slice by slice to make it last longer. Cheers to you and let’s sweeten the season with this simple, mouth-watering dessert.
