Sadly, I didn’t have the opportunity to take a photo of my mother’s Chocolate Bonet before it was devoured at the Thanksgiving table. Instead, I’ll share the sweetest photo of my dog, Winston.  The Bonet was something that I had never heard of – a mixture of cookies pulverized and mixed with dairy to make a rich chocolate flan like dessert. It was a huge hit – so much that my mother wants to duplicate it this year in instead of Chocolate Mousse. There will, undoubtably, be a protest.

In honor of the holidays coming, here are several of my favorite holiday desserts. And, the incredible bonet recipe.

• Chocolate Bonet
• Creme Brulee Tart
• The Most Simple Almond Cake
• Apricot Dacquoise 
• Dark Chocolate Tart 
• Lemon Cheesecake with a Gingersnap Crust
• Salted Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie
