Thanksgiving may have turkey and the Fourth of July, the rainbow of American condiments, but Christmas has desserts. From grandmother’s divinity to eggnog ice cream, the December holiday season revolves around high-calorie intake. My favorite last course to serve at dinner parties can be found in individual, white ramekins with a dollop of whipped cream. Some call it berry streusel, but I like to think of it as a little berry bliss.
