Dessert Fruit & More Fruit
It’s nice to serve dessert and coffe away from the dinner table. Guests like to feel reposed, stretched on the sofa in the living room surrounded by sweet music. The glow from a Christmas tree adds a romantic feel to the post-dinner wind-down.
Rather than serve individual portions of, say, pudding, offer a platter of finger dessert, which your by now-extremely-grateful guests will be able to indulge in at theirĀ own time. Also if there are those who would rather skip dessert, they can opt out inconspicuously.
A favourite of this writer are waffle sandwiches filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit. In keeping with the said colour theme, strawberries and kiwi fruit pair well. Flavour your whipped cream with a little Grand Marnier.
