It is believed that the way you welcome the New Year sets the tone for the months to come. If that’s the case, you don’t want to settle on simple desserts. While cakes and brownies are good enough to serve at your New Year’s Eve party, why don’t you level up the desserts and welcome 2025 with irresistible sweets?
No matter if you’re a chocolate lover or a coffee connoisseur, the addition of fresh fruits can make any dessert better than ever. Whether it’s the layered trifle or pies, here are some of the best fruit-based desserts that will surely be the highlight of your New Year’s Eve spread.
Strawberry Trifle
If you want to make an aesthetically pleasing dessert that’s Instagram-worthy, you can make a layered strawberry trifle. To make sure that you don’t mess up the layers like Rachel from the TV show Friends did, read through the ingredients carefully. For the first layer, you can start by baking a vanilla cake. Then, add freshly prepared custard as the second layer and top it off with chopped pieces of strawberry. Add whipped cream on the top and garnish with chopped strawberries and sprinkles.
Banana Pudding
Banana pudding is a timeless classic dessert that has three layers: vanilla pudding, bananas, and cookies. All you need to do to make the fruity dessert is mix sugar with milk and add the flour over medium heat. You can then whisk in an egg yolk with some butter and a little vanilla essence. Once the vanilla pudding is ready, you can keep it aside to let it cool and then layer it with banana slices. Finally, you can add crumbled cookies on the top. You can also add whipped cream to make it more indulgent.
Apple Pie With Chocolate
For a lip-smacking fruit-based dessert that fits well into a New Year’s Eve spread, you can make this warm apple pie topped with chocolate. Starting with a cracker-based buttery crust, you can add a layer of salted caramel, which adds depth to your pie. Next, you can line apple slices and fill them with them to the top of the pie. Once baked, you can drizzle chocolate sauce and add chocolate shaving to make it sweeter and richer.
Cherry Marshmallow Pops
Marshmallows are a kid-friendly ingredient and are a must-add to their New Year’s Eve parties. All you need to do is skewer marshmallows onto sticks. Then, you can prepare a cherry compote, but keep it on the sweeter side by adding honey or maple syrup to make it kid-friendly. Finally, dip the marshmallows in the cherry compote, add a variety of toppings, and melted chocolate. You can then serve the cherry-flavoured marshmallows and add sweetness to your party.
Pear Cake
If you want to make something subtly sweet for New Year’s, you can bake a pear bake. With a classic batter made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract, you can fold in slices of pear. Baking the cake to perfection, you can also dust some sugar with glazed pear to make the cake much more indulgent.
Cherry Sundae
A sundae is incomplete with a cherry on the top. To make your sundae perfect to serve at a party, after assembling different flavours of ice creams on a platter, you can garnish it with chopped pieces of cherries after taking their seeds out. You can also add cherry sauce, dry fruits, and chopped nuts to make it more indulgent.
