That's easy to do with the help of one of my favorite childhood dishes, a Strawberry Pan Souffle known as Kaiserschmarrn
Once the stockings are unstuffed, the presents dispatched, and the first round of cocoa sipped, it's time for breakfast. I got it fixed in my young head that this recipe was handed down from the Danish side of our family
Usually, just rinsing cherries with cool water and putting it in a bowl does nicely. Sometimes, though, it's fun to do a little bit more, like putting it into a fruit salad, cobbler, or pie. Or you can take a page out of the book of the great French chef Auguste Escoffier and make Cherries Jubilee.
Crepes Sucrees With Grand Marnier
What's more romantic than this classic French dessert? The sweet, vanilla-scented crepes are folded into triangles and then quickly bathed in an orange flavored sauce. I usually double or even triple this recipe since I like to have extra crepes available for last minute quick desserts

Red Berry Clafoutis Batter Pudding
Clafoutis, a batter pudding made in little dishes with seasonal fruits such as cherries, apricots or plums, with apples in winter. My favorite is juicy red berries, both sweet and tart.

Best served hot from the oven, clafoutis can be prepared ahead and baked at the last minute.

Thai Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango

Creamy Champagne Sabayon (Zabaglione) Dessert
The most popular and classic sweet recipe based on Champagne or other sparkling wines is the rich, frothy dessert known in French as sabayon.
