You don’t serve any desserts involving fruit? |
Fruit soaked in wine sounds gross. |
I don’t think she’s serving sangria with a scoop of vanilla on top. Wine macerated fruit is definitely a thing. |
Afagatos
Chocolate boxes so easy to make and customize. Mini ice cream sandwiches for BBQ's |
The real question should be "What is your favorite dessert to EAT at a dinner party". So many of these are old and boring and gross. |
Okay What is your favorite dessert to eat at dinner party? |
I usually serve multiple desserts. There is always an Indian dessert. Usually Rasmalai, but sometimes pineapple or orange kesari, or a payasam. My pecan squares get requested a lot, so that's a staple in the rotation. DD likes to bake and decorate, so sometimes there's a fancy cake of some sort. And I almost always serve fruit, with ice cream, home made custard, or whipped cream in the summer. |
Recipe, please? |
This is great in the summer when you have a lot of fresh berries:

My, fancy that. What do you think isn't old and boring and gross? |
I would totally eat that. |

I’m not the PP but I make trifle and was just served it at someone else’s house. It’s an unusual choice but I think people enjoy it. I usually make it with apricots and blackberries to cut the sweetness of the custard; the one I was served recently was strawberry-rhubarb which was lovely for a spring dinner. |
I’m definitely a cook not a baker (if you go in for the idea that the two are often mutually exclusive). My go-to desserts are berry pies or crumbles, key lime pie, or brownies and ice cream. Not fancy, but they get the job done! |
