The dessert round of your New Year’s Eve menu is where you can really have some fun. You can use cakes, cookies, pies, and more to design themed desserts. They will enhance the holiday decor in your Arizona kitchen or dining room, creating a more festive environment as you and your guests count down to 2019. Here are a few ideas for dessert recipes for New Year’s Eve.

1. Clock Pie Pops, as presented on Crazy for Crust

They’re like cake pops, but with the digits and arms of a clock drawn into the face of the pop. Refrigerated pie crusts, chocolate chips, lollipop or popsicle sticks, white candy, an edible food writer, and some time is all you’ll need.

2. White Chocolate Champagne Cheesecake Shooters, as presented on The First Year

Fill shot glasses with crust, cheesecake, whipped topping, and a decorative tinsel ball, and you have a mini dessert that doubles as decor.

3. New Year’s Eve Cupcakes Clock, as presented on The Soccer Mom Blog

They’re basic cupcakes, but the design is what really makes this dessert stand out. A different number is drawn onto each cupcake, 1 through 12 of course, and the hands of the clock are featured at the center. You might want to make a few extra cupcakes for eating in order to keep this intact for the evening.

4. Confetti Cookies, as presented on Better Homes & Gardens

All you’ll need is white cake mix, butter, egg, and sprinkles. When it comes to dessert recipes for New Year’s Eve, this one is fairly simple to make, but also a smart way to represent the evening.

Oliebollen is a traditional Dutch pastry for New Year’s Eve and other holidays.

5. Twisted Star Bread, as presented on Taste of Home

This one will require some patience and skill, but in the end you can consider it artwork. In addition to making the dough and designing the star, you would use the sweet jam of your choice and powdered sugar for this eye-catching dessert.

6. Twinkling Star Treats, as presented on Rice Krispies

You know how make Rice Krispies Treats, but design them into stars and decorate the top with festive colors and sprinkles. It’s a fun way to get the kids involved in planning the party.

7. Bourbon Pear Star Pie, as presented on Food Network

It’s beautiful, festive, and delicious. The crust features star cutouts, and the filling includes pears with cinnamon and bourbon. This one will require some time as well, but it will be well worth it in the end.
