Panna Cotta with Strawberry Sauce

Let me tell you about this dessert.  This is panna cotta with strawberry sauce, and it is one of my favorite desserts.  Ever.  Those are some strong words, I know, but they’re true.  This dessert is just really good.  And it can be served in individual clear glasses, which makes it fancy.  Yes, that is the defining characteristic of a fancy dessert; its ability to be served in a clear individual glass is the crucial element that brings it from everyday to something extra special. I’m clearly making that up, but that’s ok.  I like my panna cotta in clear glasses.  It just looks so pretty.

Mixed Berry "Tiramisu"

Tiramisu is one of those desserts that I had to grow into.  I never really appreciated its coffee flavor, as I have never really liked coffee, and still don’t, so it just wasn’t a dessert that excited me, or that I ever wanted to have. 

Fortunately, I grew out of that phase, and tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts.  It’s so creamy and rich, and the flavors are simply delicious.  Even that silly coffee flavor.

This is obviously not a traditional tiramisu.  Sorry if I have been leading you on.

Lime and White Chocolate Mousse

Sometimes, all we really want for dessert is something simple and classic…like a chocolate chip cookie!  Or a brownie. Or maybe some yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  Maybe just a scoop of ice cream.

But sometimes, we want to be a tad bit more fancy.  Maybe the occasion calls for it, or maybe we’re just in that kinda mood.  When that mood strikes, this is the dessert I make.
