Start a new tradition by hosting a Dessert Open House. Ask guests to bring a favorite dessert to share and make sure this tiramisu treat is on the menu! Here are a few to help you set the table and set the mood: • You may want to consider using your dining table as well as two or three smaller tables. This allows guests to gather and mingle in more than one area. • Create an atmosphere. Use lots of twinkling lights and candles. Have a warm fire in the fireplace to welcome guests. • Nuts and cheeses are perfect alongside decadent desserts. Check out your deli for cheeses such as Camembert, Liederkranz, Brie, Stilton, blue and Cheddar. Serve with platters of fresh apple and pear slices. • For coffee lovers, serve this dessert with freshly brewed Italian roast coffee and an assortment of fun coffee toppings, such as: whipped cream, eggnog, chocolate shavings, raw sugar, ground cinnamon and flavored liqueurs, such as almond, hazelnut, orange or coffee.
