I would LOVE more recipes for the mini shot glass desserts!!!!
You got it! We’ll start working on them and get them posted, thanks Shara! 🙂
When you said “raspberry tiramisu”, I took a double-take thinking there might be coffee involved with raspberry, but then I noticed the orange liqueur!
I’m guessing mascarpone would be a good substitution instead of plain Philly or anything?
Also, beautiful photographs!
Yes, mascarpone would be a great addition to the recipe! 🙂
I love these! Everything looks better in a shot glass! 🙂
I need a shot glass dessert cookbook for a special Christmas gift. Does anybody know of and actual cookbook with pics and recipes?
I am looking for shot glasses I can actually bake in. Do you have any suggestions? And your desserts are amazing…… Thank you for sharing
