Last year for Christmas, my mother-in-law gave me the gift of a dessert every month. Unfortunately, the year has finally come to a close, so here are the rest of the desserts. You can see the first six months here.

July – Peaches with Honey Chevreau cheese

August – Peach crisp

September – New Orleans Praline Brownies

October – Aunt Helen’s Apple Pie Cake with homemade whipped cream

November – Pumpkin Marble Cheesecake (with gingersnap crust)

December – Bûche de Noël with Nutella mouse filling, chocolate ganache frosting and meringue mushrooms

Has it really been a year already? 🙂 Thanks again Barb, they were all delicious. I’m very disappointed that I have no more deserts to look forward to. However, Evie immediately volunteered herself and her mommy to start making the desserts instead! So maybe they don’t have to stop!

For Christmas this year, my mother-in-law agreed to make me a special desert every month. Sort of like a dessert of the month club, except the deserts don’t arrive by mail. As far as I’m concerned this is about the best possible Christmas present one could receive!

We’re 6 months in, so I thought the half-way point might be a good place to put some of the desserts on display. I think the pictures speak for themselves, so without any further ado:

January – Apple Cheese Cake

February – Cocoa Waffles with Mint Ice Cream and Home Made Chocolate Fudge

March – Carrot Cake

April – Rhubarb Pie (special request!)

May – Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

June – Homemade Samoas (my favorite kind of Girl Scout cookies!)

Thanks Barb! I’m looking forward to the next 6! 🙂

As a side note, thanks to my horrible spelling, the original version of this post has inspired Sara and I to start a “Desert of the Month” club. Every month we send you a full sized picture of a selected desert, suitable for framing! Contact me for pricing.
