No Cream, No Butter, No Cheese, and No Eggs
Very nice presentation dcarch Ronnilee - I saw that recipe today for the mousse, it sounds interesting. Looked delish.

Chocolate flavered white cupcakes
I agree with jetfan, avoid the artificial flavorings. Assuming your recipe has milk (or water) in it, I would add about 1/2 cup white chocolate chips...

Serving cheese as dessert, or just preceding dessert, is a European tradition. Here, the rich flavors of the cheese and the baked figs are offset by an extraordinary balance of sweet honey and the peppery nature of arugula. Select a sweet, not salty, cheese at its peak of ripeness. Offer thinly sliced walnut bread on the side and accompany with a sweet wine such as a Moscato or Malvasia.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

4 firm yet ripe figs

1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

10 oz sweet gorgonzola cheese, rind removed and cut into 4 equal pieces

4 tablespoons acacia or wildflower honey

12 arugula sprigs

DIRECTIONS

Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F. Snip off the pointed tips of the figs and brush the fruits with the olive oil. Arrange in a small baking pan. Place in the center of the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 425 degrees F. Bake until puffed and aromatic, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Cut an X in the top of each fig and fold the corners back to resemble a flower, or split in half lengthwise. On each plate, attractively arrange 1 piece Gorgonzola, 1 fig and 3 arugula sprigs and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey. Serve immediately.
