Make Ahead
Frozen Lemon Mousses with Strawberry Mint Sauce
For this dessert a dramatic shape can be achieved by using molds made from foil. The mousses are equally delicious, of course, when made in 3/4-cup ramekins — they just won't be as tall.
Mashed Potatoes with Leeks and Sour Cream
Leeks and sour cream combine here in a terrific take on mashed potatoes.
Potted Cheese Spread with Crackers
New England tradition is behind this hearty soup supper. A mixture of tangy cheddar, Port wine and Dijon mustard produces a terrific spread to nibble on while the chowder is cooking. Pour Sauvignon Blanc throughout the meal.
Brown Sugar-Buttermilk Pie
A mild buttermilk tang offsets the sweetness of this caramel-colored custard pie.
White Chocolate Macadamia Brownies
The flavor and texture of these chewy confections are even better if they are allowed to rest overnight.
Mint Julep Sorbet
A treat for mint julep fans. Traditional silver mint julep cups or frozen parfait glasses add a nice accent at serving time.
Fettuccine with Mushroom-Gorgonzola Sauce
This satisfying pasta is an easy-to-make entrée to serve after a night on the town. Just add a salad, bread, and some sorbet and biscotti to complete the meal.
Almond Cookie Cups
This recipe is made to accompany Almond Cookie Cups with Sauternes-poached Apples and Frozen Sauternes Mousse
Sweet Potato Pie with Brown Sugar and Nutmeg
Pies are probably the most popular dessert in Lancaster. Brown sugar and sweet potato are among the many ingredients used in fillings.
