So Many Desserts – So Little Time

Croissant Bread Pudding
One Christmas weekend down and one to go. We celebrated with some of the family last weekend and will travel to New Jersey on the 24th for further celebration with more of the family. I have almost 100 different dessert recipes on the website and so it makes sense that I make the dessert for the meals. Last weekend we had a cheesecake with cherries and the cranberry cake shown on a recent blog. For the Jersey trip I have solicited suggestions and requests from my brother-in-law. His list includes: Ada’s Butterscotch Pie, Brenda’s Favorite Lemon Tart, the flourless chocolate cake, and a carrot cake. My wife suggested Croissant Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce and I am leaning towards the Tiramisu.
Now that our blood sugar levels are up just from reading the list, it’s time to get serious and decide what I will take for the trip. We will have four big meals during the visit. I always like to have a couple desserts for people to have a choice so I think I will take about 4 desserts. I have the lemon tart cooling its heels in the freezer so now my list is down to three more. The bread pudding is easy and travels well so that will probably make the list. I guess you will have to check back next week to see what the finalists are?
