Drink your dessert. Photo courtesy |
Dessert is an American tradition—sone sweetness to end the meal. But if you’re serving adults, before planning for cake, ice cream or other favorite, consider if you might rather have a dessert cocktail. Recipes often include ice cream and a liqueur.
This recipe, courtesy of DiSaronno, makers of amaretto (almond liqueur), evokes the tropics with piña colada mix and fresh banana. Even if you don’t have access to a beach and swaying palm trees, close your eyes and imagine. Perhaps listen to Elvis’ Blue Hawaii CD. BANANA COLADA DESSERT COCKTAIL Ingredients |

GODIVA BROWNIE COCKTAIL
Ingredients on the rim 1. MAKE a design on the inside of the glass with a squeeze bottle of chocolate syrup. Add the brownie cubes. 2. SHAKE the remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into into a Martini glass. 3. SERVE with a spoon. The cocktail softens the brownie into a bread pudding-like consistency. |
