GODIVA WHITE CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE CREAM & STRAWBERRY PARFAIT
This is awesome! Very striking to look at and amazing to eat! A definite winner! From the Godiva.com site We used Fragolo, a strawberry liqueur, which is awesome. Update: 05/10/2009 - we made this dessert again for Mother's Day Brunch and these parfaits were the hit of the party! I took a picture but it came out too blurry and was too far away - oh well, it won't be the last of the photos!

WHITE CHOCOLATE-STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU
Here's a twist on a classic dessert that highlights another flavor combo my husband and I love: strawberries and white chocolate. Lighten it up if you'd like-I've had good luck with light nondairy whipped topping and reduced-fat cream cheese. -Anna Ginsberg, Chicago, Illinois
