    I love going to a nice restaurant and ordering one of the fancy schmancy desserts.  Isn't it fun to look at the dessert trays brought out after dinner? The hardest part is choosing which one to have.

    My son was about seven when we took both of our children to a fine dining restaurant for the first time. Dinner was over and the best part was yet to come. The crumbs were cleaned from the white tablecloth and out came the waiter with the beautiful tray of desserts.  My kids eyes were opened wide as they were looking at the array of pastries, cakes and custards.  My son decided on the rich chocolate cake. He got right out of his seat, took his choice and politely plopped it down in front of him while saying thank you.  At seven, he didn't know that the tray of desserts were preserved  and they would bring him out a new one. After we chuckled with the waiter and explained it to him, he gladly opted for the fresh dessert.

    While I don't have a habit of making fancy desserts, today's recipe is easy but can be served at your next dinner party.  I also have a favor to ask of my readers. I was asked to be in the Solo Sweetest 16 Recipe Contest and I am humbly asking you to consider voting for my recipe. Today begins the first round of voting and it is an easy one- click vote.  You can CLICK HERE to also check out all the other wonderful recipes.

    I made these desserts both in fancy little glasses and more casual mason jars. Depending on your dinner, you can do either. Martini glasses also make a great presentation. They work  in smaller portions too. Shot glass desserts are a fun choice if you are having a larger party.  I know these rich creamy desserts will be showing up at my holiday table.

      You are a brave woman bringing the kids to a fine dining restaurant. The Red Robin is about as fancy as we get right now LOL!

      I don't usually make desserts like this at home, but I am pretty sure everyone would like these, so I may have to surprise everyone one of these nights.
