Hosting a Holiday Dinner? Try Your Hand at Making These Delicious Treats

The holidays are here, and with them come holiday dinners and more. If you’re planning on hosting one, it’s good to have some delicious recipes at hand. Read on to see five tasty treats you can make for your guests.

Coconut Cake

Coconut has an amazing taste that many people enjoy, so it’s a safe enough treat to make and that will complement the holiday dinner lifestyle. You can combine it with other flavors to get more variety, and it’s going to fit well both in the cake or on it as decoration and extra flavoring. With retail bakeries expected to experience an over 5% increase in sales according to estimates, you can save some money by baking your own variation of coconut cake this holiday. You will also have bragging rights if people enjoy it as well as the gratification of having made it yourself.

Squash Custard

Squash custard is another popular holiday dinner treat that you can try your hand at. If you know that the crowd you’re planning to host enjoys spices and you can get some fresh squash, this will be an amazing option. Simply find a recipe online and whip up a dessert that will take many people back to their childhoods, giving them more than they bargained for!

Banana Cake Pudding

Banana cake pudding is the third suggestion for a holiday dessert that you should consider making at one of the holiday parties you will host. It’s easy enough to make and is a delicious option that’s also family-friendly. If there will be children around, give this a go and you will delight each one of your guests. Pair it with some gelato, which has been found to contain just 25% to 30% air in the final product, or use ice cream if it’s what you have at hand although it has more air content at 50%.

Gingerbread Cookies

Perhaps the most well-known holiday dessert, gingerbread cookies are also one of the easiest and most versatile desserts you can make. You can make them as spicy as you like, making sure to follow the specific recipe you use to the letter so you can get the best results. These will also appeal to people across all age groups and so they’re an easy option to go to when you’re thinking of what to make for your holiday dinner guests.

Eggnog Cheesecake

Eggnog cheesecake is the final treat you can serve your guests at the holiday dinners you will host, and you will be sure to put a smile on each person’s face. With over 110,000 establishments for eating and drinking closed in 2020 alone, it’s an assumption you can make that your favorite spot for getting some signature treats may not be open. Set yourself up for an amazing time by learning how to prepare a dessert or two and not having to rely on buying them as this may prove a bit hard if you can’t find a store nearby that has what you want. This particular dessert brings together eggnog, cheesecake, and a graham cracker or gingersnap crust that creates an amazing dessert.

Give the five suggested holiday dinner treats a try and you will be surprised at just how easy and nice they are. You will also give your guests an amazing party when you make your own treats because they always have an edge over store-bought options. Keep in mind any special considerations that your guests may have, such as nut allergies, and it will be an amazing experience for everyone.
