Dessert of One Night — Dessert d’un soir
The simplest things make the best moments.
I always believed that I could only invite friends over for dinner only if I cooked everything, de A à Z!
I am fairly new to the concept, but instead of the whole dinner, I simply invited our friends J. and L. over for dessert last night!
A great way to still be able to see the ones you love, and not spend the whole day tied to the stove!
I decided to make mini-charlottes aux fruits et aux poires (Red Berry and Pear Charlottes).
It was easy and yummy, and we had a lot of fun, until late in the night!
Life is way too short not to enjoy times like these! Why did I not think about this before?? Tête ailleurs !
Bon weekend à tous ! Have a great weekend all.
Je ne le dis pas assez souvent, un grand merci à vous tous qui venez régulièrement lire mes histoires ! And I never say it enough, a big thank to you all who keep coming back to read my ramblings!
PS:
A short update. This is the picture I am entering for the DMBLGIT event hosted by Andrew at Spittoon Extra. Check out the round-ups here.

Just dessert is such a nice idea. It’s kind of like inviting people over for tea (and treats of course).

What a wonderful idea – and such a great way to gather friends together without having to slave for hours in the kitchen!
The charlottes look beautiful just by themselves, but paired with those delicate looking glass plates, look utterly exquisite!

You are so talented Bea – all I ever volunteer to bring to get-togethers is dessert! With your beautiful charlotte, who would even miss the rest of dinner?

Bea
Charlottes are also a favorite of mine. Maybe because like creme brulee or panna cotta it can take many flavors.
Got to make one soon!
