Sopapilla Dessert Shooters ~ For New Year’s Eve

Have you tried the Dessert Shooters at Applebee’s?

It’s a dessert served in a shooter glass. The size is small enough to enjoy without guilt.

Below are three Dessert Shooters offered at Applebee's.

Strawberry Cheesecake Dessert Shooter

Classic cheesecake, graham cracker crumbs, strawberry sauce and whipped cream make this one to savor.

Chocolate Mousse Dessert Shooter

Decadent Oreo® cookie pieces, chocolate mousse and whipped cream make this a rich and creamy treat.

Hot Fudge Sundae Dessert Shooter

Delicious hot fudge drizzled over vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Every day should be sundae.

Today, I’ll be making a

Sopapilla Dessert Shooter.

It’s my spin on the Sopapilla dessert I’ve made in the past.

The Sopapilla dessert recipe is on my blog post,

 Sopapillas ~ Easy Labor Day Weekend Dessert.

Applebee’s, located in Manalapan, New Jersey, redecorated their restaurant this past summer. One of my photographs was used to decorate one of the walls. I was happy and honored to have been asked to have my photo displayed in the restaurant.
