The Best Way to Savor the Holidays is Through Food

What do the holidays taste like to you? Eggnog? Hot, spiced apple cider? Peppermint sticks? Or maybe, they taste like the delicious mixture of chocolate and orange and cranberry. A concoction that conjures up warm fires with scented pine cones thrown on them, the last beautiful gifts that summer gave us in the cranberries, and rich dark relaxing evenings in the dark chocolate. Of course, during this decadent holiday season filled with turkeys and pies and other delicious offerings, you don't want to have a nightly rich dessert. Which is where these perfect mini cranberry orange and chocolate Pavlovas come into play. The flavors are rich but not overpowering. The texture, the light crunch delivered by the egg whites, is the perfect pairing to these rich flavors, delivering a delightfully decadent seeming dessert without it feeling heavy on your palate or your stomach. Whether you want to serve these after Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner, or just on a special date night during one of your fabulous weekend vacations with us, these are the perfect desserts for this holiday winter season.
