People with a sweet tooth know the wait behind finishing an elaborate course of meals till they finally reach desserts. But did you know that making desserts while getting to take a taste amidst the process is even better? If you love desserts, here’s how you can spice up the process by adding white wine to them.

The addition of white wine and giving the classic recipes a tipsy twist can be one of the best ways to whip something sweet and elegant at the same time. For people who like to experiment with the ingredients or the ones who simply want to add booze to their desserts, here is a list of desserts that you can make with white wine.

Poached Pears

One of the simplest desserts that can be elevated with white wine is poached pear. If you want to make it at home, you can take some fresh pears and peel their skin. Next, simmer them in a mixture of white wine, sugar, and your favourite spices. Once the pears are tender, you can serve the poached pears with a side of whipped cream and brownies.

Lemon Mousse

For people who like to make quick desserts using minimal ingredients, lemon mousse would just be the right choice. With just some lemons, wine, cream, and sugar, you’ll be able to whip up the mousse in just half an hour. Just mix lemon juice, white wine, heavy cream, and sugar till you get a foamy consistency. Refrigerate and garnish with chopped fruits and enjoy.

Grape Sorbet

While you can add white wine to all sorts of sorbets, grape sorbet is one of the most popular choices. Take fresh grapes of your choice, be it green, black, or red. Then, you can blend the grapes and add in some white wine. Then, freeze the mixture and garnish with some fresh grapes to make a fruity and boozy dessert.

Vanilla Cheesecake

Cheesecakes come in a wide range of flavours, filling, and toppings. To make a boozy variant of the creamy dessert, you can add white wine to the classic dessert. With the spirit, you can add subtle caramel and vanilla flavours to the cheesecake, adding to the cheesecake's richness. Then, you can layer the graham cracker layer, spirited cream, and finally, caramel sauce topped with chocolate garnish.

Tiramisu

The Italian dessert Tiramisu has all the hype, and for a good reason. Whether you are a coffee lover or want to indulge in a boozy dessert, you must add white wine to Tiramisu. Instead of dipping the ladyfingers in expresso, you can do so in a mixture of white wine and citrus flavours with coffee liqueur. Layer them with a mascarpone filling and garnish with cocoa powder and coffee beans, and your dessert will be ready to serve.
