A December Memento

A December Memento Christmas Day dessert luscious Sherry Cream Light as an angel's sigh, Sweet as a Christmas Eve dream, No Yuletide plum pudding for us, or mince pie, With each bite our anticipation satisfied. 12-13-22 Contest: A December Memento Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich Rhymes checked with www.rhymezone My aunt Dorothy would make Sherry Cream for Christmas Day dessert each year accompanied by Spritz Cookies. Not too sweet but light as air. A perfect dessert after a big meal!

The sherry cream sounds delicious. The adults in my family had mince pie with hard sauce--butter, powdered sugar and whiskey. My hard sauce was butter and sugar :) I love "light as an angel's sigh." A Merry Christmas to you!

Hi Ann! Again, Happy New Year! My husband's family always had mince pie with hard sauce which has morphed into a steamed persimmon pudding with, of course, hard sauce! Sherry Cream is a lovely, light dessert after a Christmas dinner of roast beef! So glad you enjoyed sharing this Yuletide specialty. Thank you for your lovely note! Sending you blessings of peace and happiness for 2023!!

Thank you so much Constance! Sherry Cream is a delicious creation. It was introduced to our family by my aunt. I'm so glad you enjoyed it even if vicariously! Sending you Advent blessings.
