12 Dessert Recipes for a Crowd

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about making desserts for a crowd, it’s that people love their sweets. You can find my 12 dessert recipes for a crowd below. My favorite part is always watching everyone take that first bite, enjoying it, and catching them sneaking seconds (or thirds).

My mini tiramisu cakes always win people over.

No matter the occasion—potlucks, parties, family reunions, they disappear fast every time. Something about those layers of espresso-soaked cake, creamy mascarpone, and cocoa dusting just hits differently.

So if you’re looking for desserts that will impress a crowd (and probably earn you a few new best friends), go through my favorite choices.
