Very sweet Christmas treat, Connie. As a diabetic, I can only have sweet memories of eating all of the delicious things you described in this sumptuous poem. But is still tastes good in my mind. Ty for sharing such a soul warming dish on the holidays to us here at PSoup. Have a blessed holiday, dear. Love and hugs to you.

Connie, your poem makes me very hungry! I love sweets and you listed some of my favorites! What is a payasam cup? I've never heard of it but since you included it I can only assume it is delicious! Diane

Payasam is an East Indian dessert that is kind of a custard rice pudding (pictured first). Yes, it is and very light compared to the others. Thank you for such nice comments Diane. Happy holidays. ; )

Connie, this would have worked perfectly for my NEWEST contest where the topic can be anything except a food item for the title. If I had worded my rules differently, this would have gotten high marks because I love all these C word desserts!! So yummy. Congrats in my contest, Connie.

A most delicious and tempting Pleiades, Connie!! I should not be going after all those lovely treats, but maybe I could just have a slice of pecan pie:) The end line is the true cherry on the cake. ~ Warm regards // paul
