10 dessert ideas to add to your menu

6. Praline and ganache cake

Praline, a mixture of nuts and caramelised sugar, and Ganache, an indulgent combination of cream and chocolate, are both very fashionable and easy-to-make ingredients. 

Both make ideal fillings to complement a vanilla cake, especially when combined with some dried fruit. They are bound to leave everybody wanting more, and could even become the most in-demand dessert on your menu!
 

7. Blondie with vanilla ice cream

We're pleased to introduce you to another popular dessert. Her name is Blondie! The Blondie gets its name as a brownie with less chocolate and more whole cane sugar, making it lighter, or  "blonder" than the traditional version. Blondies have a much airier texture than dense chocolate brownies, so they pair well with a touch of liquor, like rum, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrasting sensations.

This dessert is bound to appeal to your younger clients, who will make sure to share their experiences on social media.
 

8. Re-invented cheesecake

Take the classic American cheesecake and add other ingredients to bring out the flavours. 

We recommend one of these three options: a thick topping of dulce de leche made from caramelized condensed milk, an Oreo topping, to capitalise on the cookie’s popularity, or a passion fruit jam, whose tart notes are ideal for cutting through the cheesecake’s creaminess.

Although any one of these options is bound to spark your guests' curiosity, why not include a tasting platter of all three cheesecakes to add some extra excitement to your menu? This could be a sharing option for friends or couples—at a higher price, of course! Your customers won't be able to resist!
 

9. XL lemon meringue pie

Meringue makes everyone's mouth water, and this recipe remains a popular crowd-pleaser. Try including this famous lemon pie with an extra-large meringue topping on your menu. This easy dessert will surely be a hit among all kinds of guests.
 

10. Tea and herbal tea ice cream

Swap traditional vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream for tasty yet modern flavours. For instance, you could use a traditional green tea base like matcha or black tea with hints of cinnamon and orange. 

To stand out, serve a rose sorbet or a mint-and-honey version. Look for originality and experiment to create delicious ice cream flavours that can extend current pastry trends.
