What's a classy dessert?

Crème Brûlée

Pear tarte tatin.

Heart shaped apple crostata with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

Opera cake.

Sachertorte

If you use the word 'classy', your dessert won't be.

Apple Crisp served with Whipped Cream

Viennetta

[italic][bold]Viennetta!

Frangipane tart.

Jell-o 1-2-3, of course.

1. You purchase an Entenmenns cream cheese coffee cake without the brown sugar bullshit on the top

2.Cut off the bullshit ends that do not contain enough of the cream cheese. Reserve bullshit ends for later

3.Cut remaining goodness in pie shaped triangles - shapes, SHAPES!, confuse your true love and they will be disoriented

4.Serve with a nice coffee - nothing involving grinding, just maybe Hills Brothers medium blend

Elegantly cut and plated tropical fruit?

Macédonie au Champagne. Light, toothsome, elegant, and of course there's all the champagne.

Here you go, my friend. You’re welcome.

Candy Corn Macaroons.

a nice dog biscuit dipped in liver fondue

You called?

Kwanzaa cake

Baked Alaska

Excuse me, but “CLASSY” means you don’t fuck up your clothing while serving this shit. You want him to want you without getting goo on your hippie bracelet or your ann demeulemeester sweater. You ARE dressing for dinner in something other than pajamas, I hope.

Anyway, you’re supposed to keep the dessert simple and then store treats he likes in the freezer.

WATERGATE SALAD from Simply Sara

My Death by Chocolate cake! Everyone in the office loves it! The secret ingredient is Miracle Whip.

Tarte Normonde

A dill pickle.

Spotted Dick

Chia seed pudding. Real versatile and easy. Reference cocktail mixes or a tea/fruit combo.

Lemon delight from the amalfi coast

Crêpes Suzette

Bombe Richelieu

Croquembouche

Pot de creme

R35 Perfect for Valentine's!

Chocolate Zabaglione

Combine 1 cup of sour cream with 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of Cointreau liqueur. In champagne flutes, layer blackberries and raspberries with layers of the Cointreau cream. Top the with a dab of the cream and a mint sprig.

Foolproof simple, and great tasting.

R26- If I was forced to eat SPOTTED DICK I would be doing a lot of BUBBLE AND SQUEAK in the toilet the next day.

Profiteroles.

It’s not “classy”, but lemon bars are always nice.

R38 here. This isn’t a photo of the exact recipe, but is similar. The Cointreau one I described is more fruit - but just 2 types- and less Cointreau cream. But it gives you the idea. Added plus is that dinner guests who don’t eat dessert usually accept this as it’s mostly fruit.

Rum Baba

Perfectly ripe white peaches in white wine.

Biscotti di Prato with vinsanto

pears, blue cheese

Chocolate mousse in champagne glasses

Simple poached pears in white wine.

Jam Roly-poly

Take a black, washable marking pen and draw small circles on your erect penis.

Voila! The kind of spotted dick EVERY gay man is guaranteed to gobble down after any meal.

Peaches Melba

Clootie Dumpling

Green seedless grapes or strawberries, served with a sour cream-brown sugar mixed topping. Delicious.

Quick! Go get a King Cake. They're going to marked down substantially.

Cabinet Pudding

Queen of Puddings!

R46- How OLD are you? Your CLASSY dessert looks like something from 1910.

Tiramisu no baking required.

R55, young enough to not have SCREAM in all caps like someone HARD of hearing.

Not all classy desserts taste good.

I would say creme brulee (or burnt creme). I'd love to try a Pavlova. American here, I have a feeling it's considered rustic in Australia and NZ.

Maybe panna cotta.

Just my opinion, but poached pears always seems like a let-down.

R55, R46’s poached pears are the most appealing to me in the whole thread.

Anything with this bitch's mug on it...

I was going to say Pana cotta too. Most of the desserts on here are complicated to make. Let’s think of easy things.

One thing I like that is easy is strawberries with sweetened mascarpone cheese in a pool of chocolate sauce. Super easy to make. Sweeten the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar or honey to your liking. Slice of the strawberries you can do them kind of fancy if you want. To make your own chocolate sauce slowly melt milk chocolate chips with heavy whipping cream and a little bit of vanilla extract. Super Duper easy!

R61 here. It looks like this......

Cum.

MATCHA MILLE CRÊPE CAKE!

Sticky Toffee Pudding

Trudy's Chocolate Dump Cake

Bombe Surprise!

Pavlova (with strawberries). It's easy and unusual, light and delicious. (Won't work if you have really high humidity when you make it, ie. when it's rainy).

Nigella's Pavlova, from NYTimes.

I like a *good* brownie (with walnuts) with *good* vanilla ice cream. Extras: caramel or chocolate syrup & whipped cream.

OR Antonio Carluccio's tiramisu, couldn't be easier.

Christmas Pudding

I'll give a second thumbs up to the earlier poster who suggested Zabaglione. A favorite restaurant of mine served it chilled in a martini glass with fresh fruit on top (sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries).

R76 here, I forgot to mention Syllabub, which is also somewhat similar to Zabaglione though it's made with cream instead of egg yolks. A guy I went on a date with made this for me when he invited me over for dinner. Though IIRC his was kind of layered, it sorta looked like Jello 1-2-3, there might be different ways of preparing this. He was big into Medieval stuff.

strawberry cake is good. So too Creme Brule.

Semifreddo seems classy, in a loaf / molded like that.

Any dessert where each person gets their own little serving (vs. cutting into a large cake, pie, etc.) is classy. E.g., creme brulee in ramekins.

It's Lent.

One shouldn't even LOOK at desserts as of yesterday.

Repent. Especially you Muslims and Jews and Mormons and Scientologists! It's Lent!
