What dessert goes well after a main course of tilapia? Thank you!?!
Answers: I am hosting a dinner party and need a nice dessert to follow. Wine suggestions also welcome. Thank you!!
I would say something light-how about mousse or some type of mousse pie and a nice white. A few that I like:King Estate (Pinot Grigio) and LaCrema Chardonnay.
A lightly slice mango mousse cake! anything with a mango theme! ^^
How about some sorbet with fresh berries?
Or just the berries soaked in a little Grand Marnier or Amaretto topped with fresh whipped cream?
Serve with a nice Proseco
a small french creme pastry, or something with chocolate if the fish was prepared spicy.
