Cupcakes, buñuelos or pies, peppermint, chocolate or cherry; the four easy-to-make CanolaInfo dessert ideas will surprise your guests whether you are hosting a Posada, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year's Eve gathering this holiday season.

Why Use Canola Oil in Your Desserts?

• Canola oil is light, clear and has a mild flavor that does not interfere with the taste of the other ingredients in the dessert.
• Its smoke point —the temperature at which it begins to smoke and degrade— is one of the highest of all cooking oils at 468 °F (242 °C).
• Canola oil is a heart-smart choice. It has the least saturated fat of the common dietary fats and is free of trans fat. Canola oil also has the most plant based omega-3 fat of any common culinary oil and is a good source of vitamin E.

Canola oil is the perfect ingredient for many desserts. The four mouthwatering dessert ideas shared by CanolaInfo for your winter celebrations are:

• Mini Peppermint Cupcakes
• Buñuelos con Salsa de Xoconostle
• Trufas de Cocoa
• Cherry Pie Bites

Canola oil is one of the healthiest, most versatile and cost-effective cooking oils available. With its beneficial fat profile, neutral taste, light texture and high heat tolerance, canola oil is ideal for everyday use in just about any culinary application — from salad dressings, sauces and marinades to baking, sautéing and deep-frying.
