Dad's Favorite Desserts
Treats to celebrate Father's Day!
My list of Father’s Day desserts is the most popular for a reason! I created the list a few years ago, and it includes something for every dad, from the brunch lover to the man who can’t get enough ice cream. Dive into all 25 recipes or choose one of these favorites:
Ice cream sandwiches with coffee ice cream for the dad who loves cold treats and cold brew.
Homemade Twinkies for the dad who is still a kid at heart.
Planning a father’s day brunch? My berry elcairs and chocolate eclairs are the perfect breakfast treat.
My brownies recipe can be made however your dad likes it, making it perfect for a custom, simple dessert.
Who doesn’t love pizza?! I have several, but this cast iron skillet version is a favorite.
I top this Simple Chocolate Cake with Vietnamese Coffee Cream. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and bitter atop the elegant chocolate cake.

Graham’s List for Father’s Day
I asked Graham what he would want to be treated to on Father’s Day and he had quite the list! Here’s what he’s hoping for — I better get to work!
Strawberry ice cream, this has always been his favorite flavor of ice cream and milkshake.
Pepperoni pizza or focaccia with cherry tomatoes.
Vanilla pound cake, Devil’s Food Cake with white frosting, or angel food cake.
Rice Crispy bars. Almost any flavor!

You can never have too many options to celebrate dads and father figures because everyone loves something a little different. Here are a few recipes from my exclusive Recipe Index for paid subscribers that would be perfect for Sunday.
Sticky Toffee Date Cake: The cake is made with the honey-sweetness of dates and even if you think you don’t like dates, you’ll absolutely love this cake. The fresh ginger gives it a warmth that goes beautifully with the toffee sauce that soaks through the cake while it’s fresh from the oven.
Boston Cream Pie: Another of Graham’s favorites! These soft buttery cakes were once baked in pie tins, then sandwiched around a thick layer of vanilla pudding and draped in deep, dark chocolate. I bake this cake in cake pans, so there is no mistaking what it is.
Key Lime Cheesecake: The diva version of my favorite Key Lime Pie! The texture is super smooth and creamy without baking in a water bath. The layer of lime curd is what makes this dessert extraordinary.
