Cheesecake Highlights a Night of Casual Entertaining
Think back to the happy movies of the 1930s, forties or fifties. Picture the social event that became the turning point of the movie’s romantic plot. Men and women in formal attire converse only in witty banter and dance with swirling grace. In their hands, a shimmering martini. These days, we tend to socialize much more casually, even if we might still attempt clever dialogue.
Most of us don’t have friends with opulent mansions; neither do we have the budgets that allow us to stock up on many bottles of imported gin and tin after tin of beluga caviar. Furthermore, we not as comfortable in tuxedos as in unbuttoned shirts. Exquisite coffee and dessert may be more appropriate ingredients for the relaxed social gatherings of our times.
The bakery on the next street has perfectly acceptable cheesecake, perhaps purchased from a local distributor, but you might want to consider something a bit more interesting for the taste buds of your guests. You can have unique cheesecake delivered to your door the day of your party from as far away as across the country.
Remember that people’s tastes vary, so provide a choice of cheesecake flavors. Offer a gourmet turtle cheesecake for the chocolate lovers on your guest list. Add a few walnuts and some dark chocolate shavings to the plate.
A key lime cheesecake, provides a welcome alternative for those of us who enjoy combining tart and sweet. Think about a couple mint leaves as a garnish.
Don’t overlook those who are interested in splurging without sacrificing their dietary restrictions too much. Magnificent sugar free, low carb cheesecakes are available with tastes and textures that can rival their traditional counterparts. Add a couple berries or a thin slice of fresh pear.
Create some labels for each of your alternatives, so your guests can make informed decisions.
Of course, you’ll want to include a robust decaf option. In addition choose to present just one interestingly flavored coffee. Add to that a bold roast from Jamaica or Columbia.
Keep the cream, non-fat milk and non-dairy creamer in an ice bath in a shallow, decorative bowl. Throw in some cubed sugar with sterling silver tongs, for a decorative touch.
This is the type of informal entertaining that does not sacrifice the good taste (and lively conversation) that is always the necessary ingredient for any social event in any era. Besides, there is no morning hangover. Doesn’t this sound more twenty-first century to you?
