Dessert Club

My friend Kerry and I cooked this up. Have a monthly meeting of dessert lovers. On a weeknight, after the kids are in bed, but not too late. Everyone makes and brings a dessert on a theme. We taste, we discuss, we chat, we vote. The evening's favorite gets a little prize. The rest of the goodies get divided up onto take-home plates for hungry husbands, kids, roommates, neighbors, missionaries or for breakfast. Rather up my alley.

Our first meeting was a smash. The theme was "New Recipes" - make something you've never made before. We had eleven participants and the spread included:

Banana Cream Pie

Double Citrus Tart

Blackberry Ice Cream
Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Panna Cotta

Almond Custard

Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches

Nanaimo Bars

Maple Spice Cake

Ooey Gooey Brownies

S'mores Pie

Cream Puffs of Venice

I will just say it was divine. I made the S'mores Pie so I'll be posting that next. It was DANG GOOD. And I'll post the winner, too - Double Citrus Tart. Super fabulous. Ah, my kind of club. I highly recommend starting your own.
