Yesterday we published a list of hors d’oeuvre picks and bites for holiday entertaining. Today, it’s on to desserts!
These irresistible desserts are easy to make and almost guiltless. Enjoy just a bite or two instead of a full-size dessert.
Not only are they the best way to enjoy some sweetness at the end of a big feast, but they’re lower in calories. And you can have a few different varieties for a miniature “dessert sampler.”
From the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (EatWisconsinCheese.com), you can see all the images and download a recipe brochure.
Serve a selection of five or so different choices.
Brie Berry Pick: Mini Brie Cheese Wedge, Strawberry
Brie Nut Pick: Brie Cheese Log Slice, Chopped Pistachios, Raspberry Preserves, Red Raspberry
Brie & Fruit Pick: Strawberry, Brie Cheese Log Slice, Star Fruit Slice, Red Grape
