Grape candy, nut cake, popcorn: what celebrities prepare for Christmas

It’s already Christmas! If you haven’t yet decided what to serve as dessert for dinner, some celebrities can help you. THE F5 brought together names that we love to see on television, in cinemas and on social media, and they shared their most delicious Christmas recipes.

Clara Moneke, who shone this year in “Vai na Fé” and “No Rancho Fundo” (Globo), taught her grandmother’s walnut cake recipe, which was passed on to her and the rest of the family.

“My grandmother always made it when she was able to stay in the kitchen all day preparing the best Christmas dinner. Today she can’t anymore and she passes the recipe on to us. I think that’s the most beautiful thing, because the recipe doesn’t die They will be in my life for all my Christmases”, said the actress.

Influencer Franciny Ehlke likes to prepare a grape bonbon, a tradition in her family. “I always look forward to this moment to enjoy this dessert that I love,” said the makeup artist.

Pedro Goifman, Guto from “Garota do Momento” (Globo), invented his own recipe: popcorn with spices. It may seem strange, having little to do with the dishes traditionally prepared at this time of year, but the actor promises that it’s worth trying: “At Christmas about five years ago, I felt like eating popcorn and people were arriving. I prepared it. a lot and I started offering it saying it was ‘Christmas popcorn’. It was a huge success. “It became our family tradition. People loved it and I started making it every year.”
