Cheesecake Highlights a Night of Casual Entertaining
Think back to the carefree films of the 1930s, forties or fifties. Picture the social gathering that became the turning point of the movie. Men and women in formal attire converse only in witty banter and waltz with swirling grace. In their hands, an elegant martini. These days, we tend to entertain much more casually, even though 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 open shirts. Specialty coffee and a luscious dessert may be more appropriate ingredients for the relaxed social evenings of our times.
The bakery around the corner has perfectly acceptable cheesecake, perhaps purchased from a local distributor, but you might want to opt for something a bit more titillating to the taste buds of your guests. You can have unique cheesecake delivered to your door the day before your event from as far away as across the country.
Consider a selection of cheesecakes to meet the varied tastes of your guests. You might want to include a turtle cheesecake for the people who enjoy a bit of chocolate in any dessert. You can decorate with just a few shavings of dark chocolate, and all the people can pretend that they are eating a health food.
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.
Some of your guests might have some dietary restrictions (or have more self discipline than many of us). For those friends, include a gourmet low carb, sugar free cheesecake alternative. While that might not be considered a health food, it allows splurging within acceptable limits. An orange wedge makes a healthy addition to this plate.
Tastefully mark these choices with cards on the buffet so everyone can choose a slice of heaven that fits their own tolerance for sin.
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.
A casual and delicious evening like this is the twenty-first century replacement for the cocktail party. Cheesecake and coffee do not require a tux, and the absence of alcohol allows for safe travel for all of your departing guests.
