**Special Millenium desserts were popular at Epcot during the year 2000. Lots of people loved the maple butterfinger flavored mousse served at the Canadian pavillion. Here is one non-Disney recipe for that wonderful dessert.
Canadian Maple Mousse
1 envelope plus 2 tsp. unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
4 egg yolks, well beaten
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar *
4 egg whites
2 cup whipping cream, chilled
Sprinkle gelatin on water; let soften 5 minutes, then set cup in pan of hot water. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Add gelatin to beaten egg yolks, mix into maple syrup and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats spoon. Do not let mixture
boil. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar, blending well. Transfer to a large bowl and cool to room temperature. Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Whip cream only until stiff enough to hold its shape. With rubber spatula, fold cream gently into maple syrup mixture. Then
fold in egg whites until whites no longer show. Spoon mousse mixture into individual chocolate cups or a 1 1/2 quart mold that has been rinsed in cold water. Cover top with plastic and chill at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serve with raspberry sauce and vanilla creme anglaise on the side.
* For a creamy butterfinger mousse: Add 1/2 C. finely crushed Butterfinger bars (instead of the brown sugar) to the cooked maple syrup mixture and stir until blended.
* For a crunchy butterfinger mousse: Add 1/2 C. crushed Butterfinger bars to the finished mousse mixture, before chilling. Eliminate brown sugar.

**This rich dessert is served at various locations throughout Walt Disneyworld, from its restaurants to its bakeries within the parks. Creme Brulee is a rich custard made with cream, egg yolks, flavorings and topped with caramelized sugar. This recipe, from the book Classic Home Desserts (Richard Sax) makes a classic vanilla version.
Creme Brulee
4 C. heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
8 large egg yolks
1/2 C. sugar
3/4 C. packed light brown sugar, or to taste
In a small saucepan, scald the cream with the vanilla bean over medium heat. Remove from the heat ( if time, let the vanilla bean steep in the cream for 30 to 60 minutes. Reheat before proceeding.) Place eight 6-ounce ramekins in a roasting pan; set aside.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F, with a rack in the center. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks just until blended. Slowly whisk in the sugar. Remove the vanilla bean from the hot cream and scrape the seeds into the cream. Slowly beat the hot cream into the yolks, whisking all the time. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or pitcher. Pour the custard into the ramekins.
Place the roasting pan on the center rack of the oven. Pour in enough hot tap water to reach about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the custards are just set, about 30 minutes (the timing can vary based on the depth of the ramekins). Remove the custards from their water bath and place on a wire rack until cooked.
Refrigerate the custards until very cold, at least 3 hours. Shortly before serving, preheat the broiler with the rack about 3 inches from the heat. Sieve a thin, even layer of the brown sugar over the custards. Place under the broiler just until the sugar melts, usually less than 1 minute (watch carefully to prevent burning). Serve immediately.
**The Rose And Crown Pub, in the United Kingdom Pavillion, serves a lucious English Trifle for dessert. The following recipe makes one large trifle to serve 12 people. You can also make individual servings, like the restaurant does, by layering the mixture in clear cups.

**During a May trip to WDW, Akershus served a special porridge served during the holidays. It was very much like a warm sour cream soup, garnished with cinnamon and raisins. A search for a similar recipe came up with this version, served at Christmas time in Norway.
Rommegrot--Norwegian Christmas Pudding
Serves 8-10
2 pints sour cream, preferably the richest (with the highest butterfat) you can find
11-12 Tbsp. all-purpose flour to thicken
2-3 cups hot milk
1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
1 tsp. sugar or to taste
Garnishes:
melted butter
sugar
ground cinnamon
Place the sour cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Turn down heat and allow to barely simmer for 1 hour, uncovered, to reduce slightly. It must not boil. Use a heat diffuser for this process. Using a flour sifter or strainer, slowly add enough flour to thicken the cream. I use about 11-12 Tbsp. for a very thick pudding.
Using a wire whisk, whip in the flour 1 Tbsp. at a time. The cream will thicken and start to pull away from the sides of the pan. If the sour cream is very rich, the butter will now begin to form and rise tot he top. Remove this with a spoon and set it aside. Stir in enough hot milk to obtain a porridge-like consistency. Add sugar and salt to taste. Serve in bowls with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon on top.

Located inside DisneyQuest is an eatery known as the Cheesecake Factory. It serves all sorts of sandwiches and, of course, many varieties of cheesecakes. This recipe is based on one of their best-sellers.
"Cheesecake Factory" Bakery Oreo Cheesecake
Ingredients:
Crust
1 1/2 C. Oreo Cookie Crumbs (about 23 Oreo cookies finely chopped)
2 Tbsp. Melted Butter
9" Spring Form Pan (buttered on bottom and sides)
Filling
1 1/2 lb. Cream Cheese
1 C. Sugar
5 Large Eggs
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 C Flour
8 oz Sour Cream
5 Oreo Cookies (coarsely chopped for the batter)
10 Coarsely Chopped Oreo Cookies for the Top of Cheese Cake
Preparation:
Crust
Mix melted butter with Oreo crumbs and press in spring pan cover the bottom and 1 1/2" up the sides with crumbs, set aside.
Filling
All Ingredients need to be at room temperature before begining. Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Keep mixer on a low setting during the mixing and beating process. Add sugar gradually and continue beating cream cheese until mixed through. Add eggs one at a time and continue to beat until blended. Measure the vanilla, salt and flour, pour into cream cheese and egg mixture and beat until smooth. Add the sour cream and beat well. Turn off the mixer and stir in the coarsely chopped oreo cookies with a spoon.
Pour cream cheese into the spring pan and place the nine coarsely chopped Oreo Cookies on to of the cream mixture. Place pan on the top rack and in the middle of a preheated oven at 325 decrees and bake for one hour and 15 minutes. When time is up prop the oven door open and let the cheese cake stay in the oven for one hour. Remove from oven and let cool enough to place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. It is worth the anticipation. A cheese cake should season. The flavor ripens and becomes enriched.

Take several fillo sheets and divide them in half lengthwise and crosswise so that you have sheets that are 6 inches wide by 8.5 inches long. Fold them lengthwise so that you have fillo strips 3 inches wide.
Take a heaping teaspoon of filling and put in the lower left side of the fillo. Fold it over to the right to make a triangle. Then fold it over to the left and to the right again until you have folded the entire sheet into a triangle. Seal the package with beaten egg or a light mixture of flour and water.
Heat oil in a skillet, over low/medium heat, and brown pastries for about 2 minutes.
Cigar Shapes:
Take 1 fillo sheet, cut 6 inches wide by 8.5 inches long, and on the short end nearest you put 1 tablespoon of the filling. Fold the long left and right sides of the fillo over to meet in the center into a cigar shape 3 inches wide, covering the filling. Fold the short end near you over once firmly. Then fold it two times more to shape the cigar. Seal the final fold with beaten egg or flour paste.

When frying chicken do not crowd and keep a check on the oil so it does not burn.
The coconut chicken was served with the honey mustard on top of the chicken pieces, we have elected to serve the sauce on the side. For presentation and tasty side compliment. Slice a ripe pineapple in 1/8" pieces and cut the round slices in half. Lightly sauté the pineapple in a non stick sauce pan that has been sprayed with a non stick spray just until heated through.

Rommegrot--Norwegian Christmas Pudding
Serves 8-10
2 pints sour cream, preferably the richest (with the highest butterfat) you can find
11-12 Tbsp. all-purpose flour to thicken
2-3 cups hot milk
1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
1 tsp. sugar or to taste
Garnishes:
melted butter
sugar
ground cinnamon
Place the sour cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Turn down heat and allow to barely simmer for 1 hour, uncovered, to reduce slightly. It must not boil. Use a heat diffuser for this process. Using a flour sifter or strainer, slowly add enough flour to thicken the cream. I use about 11-12 Tbsp. for a very thick pudding.
Using a wire whisk, whip in the flour 1 Tbsp. at a time. The cream will thicken and start to pull away from the sides of the pan. If the sour cream is very rich, the butter will now begin to form and rise tot he top. Remove this with a spoon and set it aside. Stir in enough hot milk to obtain a porridge-like consistency. Add sugar and salt to taste. Serve in bowls with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon on top.

10 Coarsely Chopped Oreo Cookies for the Top of Cheese Cake
Preparation:
Crust
Mix melted butter with Oreo crumbs and press in spring pan cover the bottom and 1 1/2" up the sides with crumbs, set aside.
Filling
All Ingredients need to be at room temperature before begining. Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Keep mixer on a low setting during the mixing and beating process. Add sugar gradually and continue beating cream cheese until mixed through. Add eggs one at a time and continue to beat until blended. Measure the vanilla, salt and flour, pour into cream cheese and egg mixture and beat until smooth. Add the sour cream and beat well. Turn off the mixer and stir in the coarsely chopped oreo cookies with a spoon.
Pour cream cheese into the spring pan and place the nine coarsely chopped Oreo Cookies on to of the cream mixture. Place pan on the top rack and in the middle of a preheated oven at 325 decrees and bake for one hour and 15 minutes. When time is up prop the oven door open and let the cheese cake stay in the oven for one hour. Remove from oven and let cool enough to place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. It is worth the anticipation. A cheese cake should season. The flavor ripens and becomes enriched.
