The best desserts for any classy special event need to look effortlessly beautiful yet refined and still taste amazing. To help you impress your guests by enticing their sweet tooth, here are some of the best desserts for your next fancy dinner party.
When you are deciding on the best desserts to prepare for any fancy occasion, French pastries often seem like the most impressive choice. An elegant and delectable sweet treat that is sure to wow any guest would be profiteroles. These cream or custard filled pastry balls drizzled with chocolate are a great small bite dessert that has a light and airy texture and aren’t cloyingly sweet.
The dough can be made ahead of time, as can the other components and assembled the day of serving. Though not the simplest of recipes, these delightful little puffs are worth every minute you bake, whip, fill and drizzle.
The best desserts can often come about from a fusion of one or more elements that seem like they cannot be improved on or would never go well together, but miraculously the combination ends up surprising and impressing you.
Such is the case with this Matchamisu, a play on Italian tiramisu where the traditional espresso is replaced with matcha green tea. Served individually in miniature glass cups, these adorable and colorful desserts are the perfect dainty addition to any fancy dinner party.
It feels like there is nothing more refined than when you add lavender to a dish. Especially when it is included in this mini cheesecake recipe and paired with blueberries. Light, fluffy and the perfect blend of fruity and floral, these insanely cute and elegant looking treats are perfect served at a summer garden party, for a bridal shower, a baby shower or even when you’re in the mood to whip something special up for yourself or your family.
The lavender used in this recipe is culinary grade, which can be a little tricky to find at your local grocery store, so try checking online for all the options available.
If you can manage to pull these off from scratch no matter the occasion, you are sure to impress each and every person on your guest list. Maybe one of the prettiest yet simplest looking desserts you could attempt, macarons take quite a bit of technique, skill and patience to make but are obviously well worth the work.
The great part of this particular Pistachio Macaron recipe is that the author offers useful tips and simple step by step instructions to help you succeed.
This tiny cake is assembled with fluffy and light genoise sponge, coffee icing, coffee buttercream, and toasted hazelnuts, so classy you’d think it was made for high tea with the queen.
Though the ingredients and steps are pretty straightforward, once again this dessert demands a bit more planning and practice to achieve. But if you can manage to pull off these stylish and delicate Mokatines, people will gladly call YOU queen for the rest of the evening.
The best desserts for a fancy dinner party don’t always have to come in individual or miniature portions. Sometimes, a huge hunk of a show-stopping cake is just as appropriate and sophisticated. Which is exactly how one would describe this gorgeous Ginger Layer Cake with Wine Poached Pears and Cream Cheese Frosting.
It contains a classic mix of beautiful spices including ground and crystallized stem ginger, cloves and cinnamon topped with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting and finally, one of the fanciest things one could think up, pears poached in Merlot, cardamom pods, star anise, cinnamon sticks, vanilla paste, and an orange peel. These autumnal flavors are perfect to serve for your next special occasion, Thanksgiving or even Christmas.
