3. What’s For Dessert

 

   

Cardamom Crunch:
Fruit Crisp Mix

We love fruit crisp—we prefer it to pie (more fruit and that great crunchy topping which is like a sundae with a scoop of ice cream on top). Add this very crunchy cardamom-, ginger- and cinnamon-infused buttery topping with crunchy almonds to apples or stone fruit create a fruit crisp or crumble that your guests will notice! Or, bring the gold bag as a gift to your host or hostess. While the brownulated and pure cane sugar have calories, the topping has nutritious ingredients, including whole grain graham flour, rolled oats, heart-healthy almonds.

Ginger Ice Cream Sundae

A special and easy dessert starts with vanilla or ginger ice cream (we love Reed’s Ginger Ice Cream) and cubes of gingerbread, topped with whipped cream and candied ginger (from Reed’s or The Ginger People), and/or chunks of chocolate from Chocolove’s Ginger Crystallized in Dark Chocolate bar. Yum!

Häagen-Dazs:
Caramelized Pear & Toasted Pecan
Ice Cream

Instead of vanilla ice cream this year, try the new Caramelized Pear & Toasted Pecan, winner over 4,999 entries in Häagen-Dazs’ 2007 flavor search. The pear ice cream itself is subtly-flavored, allowing the chunks of pear and the pecans to show off. The flavor works well with pecan pie, apple pie, chocolate cake, with caramel or fudge sauce, or alone. Available at retailers nationwide. See the poached pear recipe shown in the photo.
