Desert to go with shrimp and lobster bisque and spinich salad?

I am making Creole Shrimp and Lobster Bisque in bread bowls with spinich salad for my "Ladies Night In" tomorrow, about 10-12 ladies in their late 20's early 30's. Since the soup is creamy and kind of heavy, I wanted to serve a lighter desert, but I wouldn't object to any good ideas. Also, what kind of drink? Wine, cocktail, sweet tea? (we live in the deep south) Thanks for your ideas.

Update:

What is True Lemon?

Update 2:

And where in the store is it?

    True Lemon® RASBERRY MOUSSE

    I would go with creme brulee. It's a bit rich but it is very easy and can be made a day ahead or two ahead of time. This recipe makes about four servings so just multiply by three.

    Four egg yolks

    1 Pint Heavy Cream

    1/3 Cup sugar

    1 Teaspoon of good vanilla

    Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Whisk in the cream and vanilla. Pour the mixture into oven safe ramekins that are suitable for serving. Place the ramekins in a deep roasting pan, fill the roasting pan with hot, not boiling, water up to halfway up the ramekins. Put the pan in an oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. If you are doing this ahead of time you stop here.

    Before serving sprinkle the tops of the creme brulee with just enough sugar to coat them, about a teaspoon each. Place the ramekins under the broiler in your oven until the sugar has melted and caramelized. Then serve.

    If you are feeling adventurous you can add most anything you like to the custard before you bake it. Chocolate chips are a good option as are fresh berring or chopped nuts.

    Enjoy your dinner!
