New Year, New Desserts: The 2025 Sweet Treats Guide

1. Mocha Mousse Cake

This year’s Pantone ‘Colour of the Year’ has been revealed as ‘Mocha Mousse’, a rich brown hue described as soft and warming. Lucky for us, the mocha mousse cake is already a winning flavour combination in the kitchen. And with the Pantone crown of honour, the dessert looks set to catapult to stardom this year.

2. Protein-packed Muffins

2025 is the year of having it all. Why sacrifice taste for a protein snack when you can have both? Muffins have long been viewed as a special treat reserved for birthdays or cheat days. With protein-packed muffins, you can integrate health-conscious ingredients such as protein powder and almond flour to make the fluffiest muffins of your dreams.

3. Dessert Flights

We’ve seen the egg flight trend taking TikTok by storm and think it’s only a matter of time before the flight phenomenon introduces desserts to its repertoire. Based on the idea of a tasting board, a flight usually consists of six bite-sized portions of your chosen dish loaded with unique flavour combinations.

4. Earl Grey Tea Cookies

Cookie combinations have been rife over the last number of years. This year, we welcome the classic cookie renaissance with an Earl Grey twist. With a melt-in-the-mouth texture and light floral tea notes, these cookies are the perfect complement to any tea party.
