Local Faves 4 Ways | Chips OmanApr.9.2020
We here at The Modern East know what’s really important in life. One of those things, is most certainly dessert. During this time of year, large gatherings are especially prevalent. You might find yourself tasked with bringing along some food to add to the feast. Or, if you’re hosting, you might be stressing about what to make for the grand finale of a fabulous meal. More company usually means more fun, but it also means more people clamoring for a slice of your baked goods. If you are in need of some desserts that can feed a crowd, we got you.
This tasty cake is popular across the vast majority of the Middle East. Though it goes by different names in different regions, its make up is pretty much the same. The beautiful thing about this cake is that you bake it and cut it into lovely little single serving bars perfect for feeding a crowd. The final step of soaking the cake in syrup makes for an irresistibly moist cake. This is definitely a go to recipe. Check out Gimme Delicious for the recipe.
Okay, so there’s rice pudding and then there’s rice pudding. The Stay At Home Chef will teach you how to make some out of this world rice pudding. Not only is this recipe super yummy, it’s also fast. The whole thing comes together in about 35 minutes. Rice pudding is a great option for when you’ve got a lot of mouths to feed as it is very wallet friendly. Creamy pudding topped with sinfully rich, smooth caramel? You’re having us over for some, right?
If you want to make pie for a crowd, slab pies are the way to go. Instead of your standard round pie tin, you’ll use a baking sheet instead. You can bake just about any pie you can dream of this way. Might we suggest trying the Cranberry cherry from Garnish With Lemon. Or perhaps the S’more Slab Pie from The Candid Appetite. Or even perhaps the Strawberry Cream Slab Pie from Chef In Training. You can totally thank us later.
What could possibly make a crowd more happy at the end of a meal than these sweet little balls of heavenly goodness? Cleobuttera shows you three ways to prepare these jewels of fluffy, syrupy goodness. There’s the classic style dipped in simple syrup, the version slathered in warmed Nutella, and a version dusted with powdered sugar. Prepare to be the hero of the feast!
Trifles are a wonderful thing. Not only do they taste great, and can easily feed the masses, but they look gorgeous, and are so so easy to throw together. Let’s Dish has concocted this drool inducing trifle which features the following layers of goodness: chocolate cake, fudge sauce, chocolate cream, fresh raspberries, and whipped cream. It all comes together in a lovely glass bowl so that your guests can ooh and ahh over how “pretty” your dessert is. This is absolutely perfect for any gathering.
