Hosting a Dinner Party Soon? Try Making These Delectable Desserts and Wow Your Guests

Is there any greater feeling than making a delicious three-course meal for a house or kitchen full of friends and family? In the eyes of an at-home chef, there isn’t. While you might have the appetizer and entrée planned out, dessert can be a tricky one. You want it to wow your guests and finish off your dinner in the best way possible. Need some ideas for impressive and deceptively simple desserts? Here are a few options.

Milk Chocolate Salted Caramel Macarons

Macarons are an enigma for some at-home chefs because of their delicate nature. If you have a bit of confidence and one of the best stand mixers in the game, you can accomplish amazing results. Forewarning as these can be a bit time-intensive, but the dedication to the details is what makes these worth it. 

 White Chocolate Peppermint Pots De Crème

Pots de crème is a French-inspired chocolate custard that is velvety smooth and rich in flavour. Using your blender, you simply have to pulse the ingredients together before emulsifying egg yolks and melted white chocolate with the hot cream. You can choose to use peppermint essence or vanilla extract depending on the season and how you feel at the moment, with both delivering equally tasty results. 

 Espresso Rum and Raisin Ice Cream

Feel like trying your hand at homemade ice cream? This is a good dessert to start with as the flavours are deeper than your average vanilla and chocolate—not that they don’t have their place either! Starting with rum, espresso powder, water, and raisins in a saucepan, you combine the mixture with egg yolks and sugar in your stand mixer before chilling it. Once it’s chilled, all you have to do is churn the creation in an ice cream bowl attachment while your guests watch. After 20 minutes, you’ll have freshly made ice cream that tastes better than anything you could get at the store. 

 Vanilla Butter Cake

Sometimes all you need to impress dinner guests is a simple yet elegant butter cake. There isn’t a lot to this recipe, but it’s the love and attention you show to the cake that makes all of the difference. The cake uses simple ingredients you likely have, including butter, sugar, eggs, and milk. Get creative with the decorations of the cake and make it unique for the occasion.

Lazy Little Chocolate Puddings

When worse comes to worst, and you’re busy running around preparing the rest of the meal, your guests won’t be able to taste how easy these were to make. With a soft, fudgy centre and served warm, it’s hard to imagine that blenders can produce results like this. All you need to do is melt a bit of chocolate with butter, maple syrup, and orange rind before pulsing it together with the other ingredients (condensed milk, eggs, hazelnut meal, flour, and cocoa). Pour the batter into ramekins, bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, and you have a warm, melty treat your guests will love.
