These days before the New Year (and during) Christmas we still have some special recipes  (the Christmas season is too short)  Here is the dessert I made for Christmas Eve. A ricotta and mascarpone cheese semifreddo with dry fruits  with dark chocolate glaze. We had  for Christmas  orange roasted turkey, salads, and  baked salmon in puff pastry (Esperanza eats fish) and this nice dessert. Super delicious. We were just the four of us, and I missed my mom who was with us last year. Anyway it was a nice Christmas ..

And finally here we are with Christmas just around the corner. I always feel that Christmas overcomes me but I love Christmas despite everything. I made these brownies because I loved that they have Christmas spices so  smell wonderful. Gingerbread men are edible,  and you can buy  them on Amazon. I find them cute :) and they give a Christmas touch. There are still some recipes for Christmas and New Year, they will be for the next week. Merry Christmas to everybody and have a wonderful time and  from my part a strong hug and thanks for the love and the affection. Merry Christmas!!

We keep moving towards Christmas.  And time literally flies. This Semifreddo dessert  I did many times  for these dates because you do  and can  eat  whenever you want. (You really  can make some days before Christmas)  This time I did with black cherries and almonds and I liked this version. I also want to say  I used frozen cherries or   canned dark sweet cherries  (for those who are not in summer) and only outside decorate with fresh cherries. Those who are in summer (Australia, New Zeland, Chile) can use fresh or frozen cherries. But it also has chocolate and almonds. A very Christmas dessert.

At this point in  my life I realize that I would like to make more recipes but I know  Christmas is almost here :) Anyway, I will do my best and I already have several recipes selected.
