Fun Ideas For Sweet Preparations

By Sarah Donaldson

There's nothing quite like a great dessert to finish of a good meal. We all know we shouldn't, and we feel guilty eating it, but it's hard to resist your favorite treats when they are them on offer.

I consider myself a bit of a dessert connoisseur; having eaten so many of them in the past. I eat them hot or cold, so here are a few suggestions for desserts you may like to try.

Some of these may already be your favorites, but hopefully there will be some new ones here for you to try too. Why not try them at home adding your own personal touch?

You may make chocolate mousse on a regular basis, but how often do you use white chocolate? You may not feel as if it will taste like a real mousse, but trust me, it is. You may well end up preferring the white version.

If you like a bit of fruit in your desserts; add some drizzle to the mousse, in a flavor with a bit of a kick like raspberry. The sharpness of the fruit is a great contrast to the chocolate.

The humble drinking glass is a great container to serve an elaborate dessert in. The ingredients are simplicity itself, so there are no worries that it won't taste good. This means you can spend more time on what it looks like.

You really have no boundaries with this kind of dessert. You can keep it simple but classy looking, or really go to town to create a magnificent sundae which will never fail to impress.

Cutting a mango into a rose may sound really difficult, but have a look at the instructions on the internet and you will soon be able to do it yourself really easily. Then just add the filling for a beautiful looking dessert.

If you are a mango fan you will love this, and the combination of the mango flavor with either sorbet or ice cream is sublime.
