10 Father's Day Desserts!


Hey, Reader!

Father's Day is next Sunday, and if your dad is anything like mine, he'll say he doesn't want a fuss. But this year is also my husband's very first father's day as a dad, and I'm planning on making a GIANT fuss for them both. πŸ₯³

Whether it's your own dad, a father-figure in your life, or the ride-or-die co-parent to your pets, they all deserve a little extra love.

And there's something about a homemade dessert that a gift card (or another grill spatula...) just can't touch, because of the time and intention behind it.

πŸ’ Happy Baking!

Father's Day Desserts

​Mocha Layer Cake - If you want something to really leave an impression this Father's Day, I recommend my German Mokkatorte!

​Peanut Butter Shortbread - My father-in-law absolutely loves these chocolate-dipped sweet-and-salty bars.

​Strawberry Blueberry Pie - An old fashioned American classic, perfect for summer!

​Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake - My husband is a chocolate-addict, so this one has a special place in his heart.

​PB Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies - Do the dads and dudes in your life love peanut butter + chocolate as much as mine do?

​Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake - Lighter in flavor than some other chocolate-rich sweets in this roundup, this is another summer favorite.
