Lemon Dessert Shot and Coffee Dessert Shot

     This is my second selection of dessert shots.  I intend to work on some for the future because I think they would be so versatile to make for a variety for a buffet, to make one for a small dessert after a dinner party, or to have a small dessert to have on hand whenever you wanted it.  You can also use these recipes as inspiration to make your own dessert shots.  If you don't have small glasses, you can use wine glasses, or use small baking dishes.

     Next week I'll share my recipe for peach cobbler.  We have a peach tree and all of our peaches were ripe at once and I needed to find a good recipe quickly.  I'm pleased with the one I found and reworked and I'll be happy to share it with you.  See you next time.
