Whether you are hosting a birthday lunch, casual dinner, or an elegant affair, it’s always important to plan your menu. Once you have chosen all of the special ingredients for your first and main course, it’s time to plan your dessert. Here are some delicious spring dessert ideas.
Strawberry shortcake is a scrumptious treat around this time of year but, if you want something a bit different, you can opt for the deconstructed version. Simply place sliced strawberries with sauce in a bowl and top with a little bit of whipped cream. Serve shortcakes on the side along with some extra sauce .
Angel food cake is light and delicate which makes it perfect for spring. Its important to top your cake with a light and fluffy frosting so that it does not overpower the cake itself. This cake can also be topped with fresh berries if you prefer.
Creme Brulee is light, sweet, and absolutely scrumptious! These desserts are best prepared in separate bowls. It’s also a good idea to prepare extra portions just in case any of your guests would like more. If there are any leftovers, you can tuck into them the following day.
Fruity puddings are also delicious. Simply layer sliced banana, sponge cake, vanilla custard and top with whipped cream. You can add some glazed cherries on top for colour and a bit of extra sweetness.
Cheesecake is popular around the world and there are so many different flavours from which to choose. Classic cheesecake is a popular option as well as strawberry cheesecake. Caramel is another top choice. Lemon meringue or key lime pie are refreshing and extremely satisfying. These desserts are a bit more time-consuming than some other recipes.
If there are children on your guest list, you might want to include simple dessert options such as cupcakes, muffins, scones, cake pops, or ice cream with various toppings. Simple is often the best option if you want to make sure that all of your guests are satisfied.
