We\u2019ve gathered 11 delicious dinner party dessert ideas that are bona fide showstoppers, from upgrades on the classic chocolate cake to tarts with a touch of campfire magic (please sir, can I have s\u2019mores?) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TASTY TARTS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"apple

Salted caramel apple tart \u00e0 la mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the scale of apple crumble to a French tarte tatin, an apple tart sits somewhere in the middle. It\u2019s an easy dinner party finale that feeds plenty (don\u2019t forget to hide a slice away for tomorrow\u2019s afternoon tea \u2013 that\u2019s a host perk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can go big and make one party-sized tart, or create individual servings for your guests. Whichever way you go, don\u2019t skimp on that brown butter caramel sauce as a gooey bed for your apples to rest on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To serve? Make it a tart \u00e0 la mode with a generous scoop of vanilla bean  ice cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rich chocolate tart with torched rocky road topping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sure the custard tart is a classic, but nobody has EVER been disappointed when presented with a chocolate tart for dessert. It takes just a few ingredients to make a simple chocolate tart, and a handful more to turn it into something really special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a delicious dessert that leaves a lasting impact, top your tart with a mountain of homemade rocky road. Get creative and make the rocky road your own with your choice of nuts (pistachios add a vibrant pop), biscuit pieces, dried fruit, or little lollies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your tart and rocky road topping have been set in the fridge, carefully use a blow torch to roast the marshmallow for major s\u2019mores vibes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PIE TIME<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"lemon
the magic of the meringue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lemon meringue pie with gingernut crust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ah, lemon meringue \u2013 the king of all lemon desserts. There\u2019s nothing like a lemon meringue pie to bring everyone around the dinner table. Tangy, creamy, biscuity, this pie has it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way you could possibly improve on perfection is to make the base out of gingernut cookies for a touch of sweet, gingery heat. And if you’re in short supply of lemons, try another beautiful citrus like blood orange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing about pies is they\u2019re the perfect make-ahead dessert and ideal picnic food, if you\u2019re less about the dinner party scene and more about the long, alfresco lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When life gives you lemons, try lemon meringue pie\u2019s zesty cousin, <\/em>Key Lime Pie<\/em><\/a> from our menu: Bryce\u2019s American Favourites. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"key

Peanut butter pie with a chocolate peanut brittle topping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want to know the secret to hosting one of those dinner parties everyone raves about for weeks to come? Surprise your guests with a show-stopping dessert! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how do you stop the show? Three words: Peanut. Butter. Pie. Chocolate peanut is a timeless flavour combo and there\u2019s nothing like a creamy peanut butter pie with a crunchy chocolate peanut brittle shattered on top to get tongues wagging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a healthier (or potentially vegan) alternative, coconut cream mud pie is an easy way to substitute cream cheese for coconut cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLASSIC CAKES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Decadent chocolate cake, salted caramel sauce & milk chocolate tuile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with an easy chocolate cake recipe and make it decadent by adding oozy, gooey, salty, sweet salted caramel sauce and \u2013 pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance \u2013 a milk chocolate tuile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tuile is a thin, wafer-like cookie that is pliable when hot and can be twisted or wrapped around a rolling pin to elevate any simple dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing about this dessert is you can use any of your favourite cake recipes with a couple of fancy touches that don\u2019t require you to be in the kitchen for the entire dinner party. It can easily be adapted into a celebration cake too, if you\u2019re gathering for a special occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love an easy chocolate dessert? It doesn\u2019t get easier than enjoying our <\/em>Flourless Chocolate Gateaux<\/em><\/a> at the end of a Gathar French Classics experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e chocolate cheesecake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a dessert to impress, this is definitely it. Cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e? Chocolate? Cheesecake? What\u2019s not to love!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with any chocolate cheesecake recipe (they\u2019re all much the same: biscuitty base, cream cheese filling blitzed with chocolate in the trusty food processor…) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The important part here is the beautiful br\u00fbl\u00e9e top with its satisfying crack. Once your cheesecake has set in the fridge overnight and you\u2019re ready to serve, evenly sprinkle superfine sugar on top and very carefully torch until caramelised. Et voil\u00e0: cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e cheesecake! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling hungry? Have a peek at the <\/em>Vanilla Bean Cheesecake<\/em><\/a> on The Elevated BBQ menu, or <\/em>Creme Brulee<\/em><\/a> from Gathar French Classics. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ain’t nothing vanilla about Gathar’s vanilla bean cheesecake <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SOMETHING FANCIER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dark chocolate panna cottas with freeze dried chocolate raspberry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Panna cotta is one of the most popular Italian desserts. Literally meaning \u2018cooked cream\u2019, these jiggly little pyramids of sweet cream and gelatin are light and silky, most often flavoured with rich vanilla bean and served with a berry coulis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panna cotta is delightful in its classic form but we\u2019re talking party desserts here, and there\u2019s no such thing as a party without chocolate! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add some good quality unsweetened dark chocolate to your creamy panna cotta mixture for a luxurious upgrade. If you can get your hands on it from a gourmet grocer, freeze dried chocolate raspberry is the absolute ideal topping, but fresh berries will still do the trick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indulge in a little dolce with Gathar: finish your Grande Italian Festa with <\/em>Limone Cannoli di Ricotta<\/em><\/a>, or enjoy a slice of <\/em>Lemon Ciambella Cake<\/em><\/a> from our When In Sicily menu. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic lemon eton mess with white chocolate shavings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eton mess is a traditional English dessert, but to us it will always be the cheat\u2019s pavlova. Eton mess is an easy dessert to create if you\u2019re having people over and is best served the day it\u2019s made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a little hesitant at the thought of making meringue, fear not! Eton mess is definitely a dinner party dessert that won\u2019t see you spend all night in the kitchen, especially if you use store-bought meringues (we won\u2019t tell). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layers of sugary meringue, thick dollops of whipping cream, zesty lemon curd and shavings of smooth white chocolate? You\u2019re onto a winner here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather a classic pav over an eton mess? The <\/em>Summer Pavlova<\/em><\/a> from our 3-Course Coastal menu is for you. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PERFECT PUDDINGS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rice pudding with rose-infused cherry compote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rice pudding is one party dessert recipe that has the power to conjure all the nostalgic feels \u2013  but this isn\u2019t your Nan\u2019s rice pudding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make your classic rice pudding the night before your get-together, popping in a \u00bc teaspoon of rosewater into the creamy rice mixture as well as the same amount into the cherry compote for a decadent twist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherry and rose is a beautiful, exotic flavour combination that will wow your guests with minimal effort. If you want to up the ante, add some cocoa powder to turn it into a chocolate pudding, or serve with a devilish chocolate mousse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love the sound of this? Check out the <\/em>Rosewater Catalan<\/em><\/a> from our Simple Meets Extraordinary menu. Ooh la la!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun is shining and the vines are loaded with and you\u2019re looking for an easy and delicious dessert to whip out at your next par-tay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds like you need a little passionfruit bread and butter pudding in your life. Try making it with croissants or sourdough fruit loaf instead of standard sliced and buttered bread, and keep in mind you can substitute passion fruit for any other citrus, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This creamy, zingy, self-saucing pudding is one of the easiest summer desserts to whip up, especially if you\u2019re cooking with kids. Little hands love layering the bread and pouring in the custard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bread pudding, but make it Italian with our <\/em>Panettone Pudding<\/em><\/a> from Nonna\u2019s Gourmet Feast menu.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice cream sundae with warmed chocolate brownies & smashed chocolate chip cookies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Real talk: how long has it been since you\u2019ve had an ice cream sundae? Whatever your answer, it\u2019s probably way too long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ice cream sundae is up there on the list of easy dessert recipes, but it\u2019s equally one of the most enjoyable for dinner party guests. A super easy and super fun idea is to set up a sundae station where guests can build their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a whole load of toppings like warmed chocolate brownies (or cookies and cream brownies if you want to be really extra) cut into bite-sized pieces, crumbled chocolate chip cookies hot from the oven, salted caramel sauce, melted milk chocolate buttons… let your imagination (and your guests) run wild! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
