Our Father’s Day Dessert Ideas

Say thank you to one of the most important men in your life with Venchi’s Father’s Day Dessert Ideas. These are guaranteed to put a smile on your dad’s face.  

Who’s the first one in the kitchen when something’s baking? Dad’s usually the culprit, trying to sneak a few cookies before they’ve even cooled down. So, show him your appreciation with our Father’s Day dessert ideas that are truly made from the heart. Somehow, making a gift yourself is more special and the perfect way to finish a Father’s Day dinner or lunch.  

Father’s Day chocolate cookie cake 

Sweeten your dad’s day with a chocolate cookie cake, which is basically just a giant-sized cookie. You can then fill it with whipped cream, buttercream, or any frosting that reflects your dad’s taste buds. Make sure to use any recipe that gives you chewy, thin cookies—usually, recipes that call for brown sugar are best.  

For mini cookie cakes, try this easy idea. Sandwich chocolate cookies in between an ice cream filling and make scrumptious homemade cookie sandwiches. Keep things on the lighter side with our healthy chocolate chip cookies recipe that tastes so delicious your dad won’t even know they’re good for him.  

 

Chocolate mousse 

Chocolate mousse is one of those desserts that wow everyone when it’s put on the table. It’s just as decadent and beloved as homemade ice cream, but luckily, it comes without all the hours spent in the kitchen.  

It’s simple to make, but it’s not simple to stop yourself from having seconds. This chocolate mousse looks so elegant and fancy that your dad won’t believe you made it all by yourself. Take the presentation to the next level by serving with chocolate savings, berry jus, or caramel sauce.  

 

How to make chocolate mousse?  

  1. Separate 4 eggs into yolks and whites.  

  1. Slowly melt 1 pound of dark chocolate in a double boiler. Stir frequently.  

  1. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly. Then whisk in 2 egg yolks.  

  1. Set aside and let the mousse cool.  

  1. Beat 1 ½ cups of thick cream until stiff peaks form.  

  1. In a new bowl, whisk the egg whites. Gradually add 1/3 cup of white sugar.  

  1. With a spatula, fold the cream into the chocolate.  

  1. Then, add the egg white and sugars. Fold until well combined.  

  1. Pour the mousse into a large container or bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.  

  1. Put in the freezer. Chill for at least 3 hours.  

  1. Dip a tablespoon in warm water. Spoon out the chocolate mousse into serving bowls. Enjoy!
