White Chocolate Cheesecake with White Chocolate Brandy Sauce

Submitted by: Judy Wilson 
This is a dense cheesecake that is very smooth and melts in your mouth. The white chocolate brandy sauce tops it off. Just spoon it over the center of the slice of cheesecake on the plate. Garnish it with mint leaves and either raspberries or strawberries.

Christmas Cake

Submitted by: Carol 
This cake is a rich, dark, moist fruit cake, very flavorful at Christmas. Try icing with almond paste for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays. I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock.

I have used this for years. If you are a connoisseur of mincemeat, you will be able to tell this is a good recipe while you are cooking it, and you add the spices to the fruit, and it magically changes to that wonderful aroma of....mincemeat! If you want to, you can omit the meat in this recipe. I prefer peach or apricot brandy for this recipe. If desired you can use half beef and half pork rather than all pork.

I make a basic chocolate chip cookie dough, but use white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and brandy (instead of vanilla). Great for Christmas time!

Brandy or Rum Balls

Submitted by: NANCERINI 
This is an excellent dessert to bring for the Holidays. You can use either Brandy or Rum. These do need some time to set up so it is best to make them the night before. If you don't care for walnuts, the balls can be rolled in confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder.
