Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Raspberries

Diet, Schmiet. Some foods are worth breaking New Year's Resolutions - and this cake definitely fits the bill. Delicious, decadent, and drop-dead gorgeous, this cake is one of my favorite go-to recipes whenever I need the perfect finale for a celebratory meal.






Smoked Oyster Spread

This classic recipe is wonderful spread on hearty crackers or used as a stuffing for mushrooms, celery, zucchini, or your favorite vegetables. One of our most popular variations is to stuff medium white mushrooms with the mixture and then broil until hot and bubbly. Divine!

8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 can coarsely chopped undrained smoked oysters

Beat the cream cheese until very smooth and soft. Add the Worcestershire, garlic powder, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Beat well. Mix in the smoked oyster liquid until smooth. Carefully mix in the smoked oysters. Spoon into a serving bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least two hours. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Makes 8 servings.
