Plated Desserts

Plated desserts are restaurant-style finales designed to impress. Pull off a chocolate souffle with creme anglaise for a real wow moment, master molten chocolate lava cake for a date-night dessert, or chill silky panna cotta with strawberry gelee for a make-ahead showstopper. These plated dessert recipes layer textures, temperatures, and flavors into the kind of dessert that ends a dinner party with applause.
