Quick Dessert Ideas and Recipes for a Party

Submit Your Tip

Often by the time everything else is ready and we come to desserts there isn't much time or energy left. If everyone can share some quick dessert ideas we can all benefit. For instance, when I am short on time, I just use whipped cream and serve it with strawberries in a small plate. What do you guys do?

Just get slices of bread, toast them with butter in a pan, cover them with chocolate sauce and a dollop of cream cheese. This will be a big favorite with everything.

Tip 6 - Baked Apples

Published: 10 years, 8 month(s) ago | Submitted by Leanne Gordge | permalink

You can take golden apples for this recipe and microwave them quickly when you need to prepare a dessert for your guests. The apples will heat up and soften, making for an amazing sweet and soft delight. If you have yogurt at home, you can top up the apples with that too.

Just remember to wash the apples first and remove the stems from the top.
