As goofy as it sounds, I always make fruit pizza when I'm on the hook for a dessert at a group event. Sugar cookie dough covered with either whipped topping or a cream cheese mixture, with a variety of fruit on top. You can even drizzle some orange marmalade and sprinkle almond slivers. People love it every time.

Trifle.

Apple Dumplings...so easy...and vanilla ice cream. They will love you. So many recipes for dumplings online. All you need are apples, puff pastry and sugar.

Trifle. You can make it as healthy or as decadent as you like, fruity or chocolatey or both Bonus: it looks awesome and is super easy to make.

This! You can make them fancier by sprinkling mini chocolate chips or sprinkles on the chocolate before it hardens. Or if you dip the strawberry in dark chocolate, then melt some white chocolate, put it in a ziplock bag, snip a small hole in one corner and squeeze to drizzle the white chocolate horizontally over the already chocolate covered strawberries.

I like pps idea, do it over angel food cake so it's even good for people on a diet

Strawberry shortcake not assembled. Some eat just the strawberries, or cake, or ice cream so it pleases everyone. And some just eat the whipped cream.

Cake or pie or something that doesn't need to go in the fridge, since you don't know if there will be room for it.

Lemon chess pie, brownies, apple cranberry crisp, homemade ice cream or sorbet.

I always take cupcakes that I decorate, but I've seen some great recipes for turtle cheesecake and lemon squares hat look great.

Brownies and vanilla ice cream.

I've been nominated to provide a dessert for a this weekends dinner party. I am at a loss. What is your tried and true?
