To help celebrate the holidays and to sweeten the final days before the New Year, I compiled a list of sumptuous dessert recipes. These aren’t just any dessert recipes. They use extra virgin olive oil.
You’ll also notice several come from world renown chocolatier and dessert guru Alice Medrich. Alice developed them especially for us. I’ve had them. They’re exquisite.
Take your pick – and savor the holidays, as well as the final days of 2009:
- Alice Medrich’s Chocolate Arbequina Truffles
- Alice Medrich’s Chocolate Almond Torte
- Alice Medrich’s Chocolate Ripple Pound Cake
- Alice Medrich’s Olive Oil Biscotti with Walnuts and Pears
- Rosemary Pine Nut Cookies
- Milk Chocolate Cremoso with Espresso Parfait
Bon appétit,

Olive oil and chocolate? Who knew? I’ll have to try some of these. What a creative departure from the usual. Thanks for sharing.
