Well, I'm not exactly "main stream" but here's my thoughts.....

Cheesecake Crema on Dried Apricot(s)

Fruit Skewer flamed with Cointreau (sp?)

Berry Crepe with Fresh whipped cream

and the old standby......


Tiramisu served with a shot of espresso & kahlua on the side...........

Happy cheesecaking!!

Enough said!

Well, unless you want to share your recipe, Lisa. I bet it's a killer!

[JennRae71]

Thanks so much. I'd completely forgotten about flaming anything. The fruit skewers are perfect.

The tiramisu is just a recipe i found on the net a few years ago, and modified it to my preferences (I use my cheese instead of mascarpone).

Then, to fancy it up, I make little chocolate cups about the size of a shot glass & then fill with cooled espresso and kahlua, top with a bit of whipped cream and voila! nice ending to a perfect dessert!

Thanks Lisa. I love the chocolate cup idea!
