Leftover Champagne Pancakes
What do you do with that leftover Champagne after New Year's Eve or brunch? Make pancakes of course! These taste delicious with macerated fruits and accompanied by a glass of champagne.
Creamiest Chocolate Mousse
This is one of the best chocolate mousses I've ever tried. It's so creamy (o.k. probably extremely fattening but holiday calories never count, do they?)I personally make the mousse without any alcohol added. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra special effect.
No-Bake Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake Bars
These no-bake lemon ricotta cheesecake bars get an extra creamy boost from the addition of ricotta cheese. Make sure to take the time to drain the ricotta before adding it to the filling. The pistachios in the crust and garnish, are optional; but totally recommended. You can use almonds, or simply use more graham cracker crumbs instead.
