The picture above sums up how everyone was feeling once we got to the dessert course. We decided that the next year it would be much smaller portions. But, we persevered and moved on to the final course. The desserts had to use strawberries and once again had to feature the “secret” ingredient which was no longer a secret. You may remember that Jon’s secret ingredient was bacon so everyone was a little concerned how this would work in the strawberry dessert.
Jon served a Bacon Wrapped Strawberry dipped in Peanut Butter Chocolate (recipe below)
Once again Jon forgot to work on his presentation ahead of time….
Everyone agreed they were really tasty! What is not to like? Strawberries? Good! Bacon? Good! Chocolate and peanut butter? Good!!
I made a Chilled Strawberry Bisque (recipe below) and a Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Bar
Julie made an outstanding Coconut Chocolate Cake with Sugared Strawberries (recipe below)
The Perfect Pairing for the strawberry dessert course was by Julie. It was a strong coffee flavored with coconut rum. It was amazing with her cake! Check back for the results!
