Cook with us #36 - Special Food for Special Times
That old song Time is on my side, yes it is! certainly has not been a reflection of my life this year, and especially as the end of 2019 draws near, the pace has picked up like never before!
So I totally missed the boat and could not get to the 36th Cook With Us party but that's not going to stop me from sharing delectable desserts and traditional festive fare with our foodie friends here on Whaleshares!
My job at any potluck dinner always is to bring dessert, and of course on Christmas day everyone expects a creamy and delicious Fruity Trifle -
- Slices of Swiss Roll soaked in sherry is placed on the base
- Topped with Strawberries set in jelly
- Creamy Custard to cover the jelly
- Whipped Cream topped with nuts, cherries and berries
- Lastly flaked Chocolate for the choc addicts
Mini Fruity Malva Puddings are also one of our family favourites for any festive occasion. A sponge pud soaked with a sinfully rich Butterscotch & Coconut sauce. I made these a long while back in the infancy of CWU on Steemit:)
Served with cream & Pomegranates
This one was served with Passionfruit and cream
Then onto candy - here I made salted Caramel Fudge topped with nuts and Peppermint Choc - absolutely delectable but so rich that even my sweet tooth only manages to stick to having one!
To break all that sweetness, how about having a Cheese board - cheese, cold meats, dried peach roll, olives, crisps and salty crackers!
So I say a very Merry Christmas to all of our foodies, enjoy cooking and baking and special family times!
Wish I could say this is my handiwork, but that it certainly is not - gorgeous iced biscuits from our local Home Industries shop!
