Barefoot Contessa chocolate ganache cake, served with berries (I always bring extra berries; there is always some dieting person in my circle).

Sundaes - especially if there are kids. i take all the ingredients and let everyone serve themselves.

This is easy and tasty but you need to be sure the host has freezer space to share: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/mocha-ice-cream-cake-103791

I also love this cake: https://www.browneyedbaker.com/coconut-bundt-cake-recipe/

I make this, but in a Bundt with a light glaze. Everyone loves it and perfect for this time of year.

Whip some stable cream before you leave( google- add yogurt or sour cream or cornstarch) and buy multiple flavors of gelato. Spoon a little hot coffee in, garnish with a dollop of whip cream and a biscotti. A lot of desserts aren’t worth the effort you put in- everyone likes ice cream.

PP from above; don't forget to make the foil sling for the brownies so they lift easily from the pan, then chill them down overnight so they can be sliced with a cold knife. Keeps the edges clean for a pretty presentation.

I like to bring dinner party desserts that be taken off a plate by hand, rather than cut and served (unless I'm hosting). My faves are:

Cook's Illustrated chocolate cream cheese brownies (yes they are brownies but beautiful and holy cow delicious):

Melissa Clark's cultured butter cookies:
