We’ll never tire of a warm mince pie with a dollop of cream or custard. It’s a classic for a reason.
But if you’re looking to branch out and try something more experimental this festive season, cafes across Dublin are coming up with their own take on the classic. We’ve got mince pie cruffins, mince pie cookie sambos and pretty much every other mince-y twist imaginable. Let’s get into it.

Sourdough cruffin with spiced custard, clotted cream topped with pan fried Christmas pud and a dotey gingerbread star.
