1. Strawberry Cheesecake:
Strawberry cheesecake is a popular dessert without which the New Year dinner is incomplete. All you need to do is heat together strawberry preserves and lemon juice until smooth and thick. Then you have to brush it over fresh strawberries atop your cooled and beautiful cheesecake. You will have a creamy, dense vanilla cheesecake with a jammy topping that you would want to pour extra over each slice.
This filling of strawberry has a touch of sour cream for extra smooth creaminess. If you leave it to cool in a switched-off oven, you reduce the risk of cracking. If you want the cheesecake to get baked more evenly, you can try a water bath method for the dessert.

2. Macarons:
The combination of almond-flavored meringue cookies that are, combined together with a tasty filling of mint, chocolate, and strawberry, is delightful. Macarons are a bit tricky to make, with just four ingredients. These are blanched almonds, confectioner (powdered or icing) sugar, superfine white sugar, and egg whites.
Yet it is amazing how these four ingredients make such a perfect cookie. Macarons are cookies with a thin crust which breaks easily with you biting it while eating. The inside of the macaron is wonderfully soft and moist, with a mildly sweet almond flavor.
