There’s no better way to end a dinner party than with dessert — and M&S never disappoints. Their puddings and patisserie-style treats look handmade, taste divine, and save you hours in the kitchen.
Whether you’re after something rich and chocolatey or light and fruity, these desserts are guaranteed to wow your guests (and make you look like the host who has it all together).
M&S Collection Chocolate Torte
This glossy chocolate torte is pure decadence. The filling is rich and velvety with just the right balance of sweetness, and the buttery base adds a satisfying crunch. It looks far too elegant to have come from a supermarket shelf.
I usually serve it with a dusting of cocoa powder and a handful of raspberries. It’s the kind of dessert that makes people pause mid-bite and ask, “Did you make this yourself?” (I just smile and let them wonder.)
M&S Passion Fruit Cheesecake Slices
Light, tangy, and perfectly creamy — these passion fruit cheesecake slices bring a burst of sunshine to the table. The topping is bright and zesty, while the base has that crumbly homemade texture that’s impossible to resist.
I love serving them on individual plates with a little drizzle of passion fruit pulp for that extra wow factor. They’re refreshing, elegant, and the perfect balance after a rich main course.
M&S Collection Lemon Meringue Pie
The M&S lemon meringue pie is a showstopper in every sense. The filling is smooth and tart, topped with peaks of golden meringue that hold beautifully. It’s nostalgic but sophisticated — like something straight out of a tearoom window.
I pop it in the oven for a few minutes before serving to crisp the meringue slightly. Paired with coffee, it’s the perfect finale for a spring or summer dinner party.
M&S Sticky Toffee Pudding
This dessert is British comfort food at its finest. The sponge is moist and rich, soaked in a toffee sauce that’s perfectly buttery without being too sweet. It’s indulgent but somehow never heavy.
I serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream. The sauce melts into the sponge, and suddenly everyone’s quiet — which is always the sign of a truly great dessert.
M&S Collection Éclairs
These delicate éclairs are straight out of a Parisian patisserie. The choux pastry is light and airy, filled with smooth vanilla cream and topped with glossy chocolate icing. They’re as beautiful as they are delicious.
I arrange them on a platter and dust with icing sugar for that bakery look. They’re bite-sized elegance and perfect for guests who prefer something light after dinner (though most end up taking two).
M&S Raspberry Panna Cotta Pots
These little pots look like restaurant desserts but take zero effort. The panna cotta is creamy and silky, with a vibrant raspberry layer that adds colour and tang. They’re individually portioned — ideal for easy serving.
I like to top them with a fresh raspberry and a sprig of mint before setting them out. It takes seconds, but the presentation looks stunning. It’s the kind of dessert that feels special without feeling fussy.
M&S Profiterole Stack
If you really want a centrepiece moment, this is it. The profiteroles are perfectly filled with cream and coated in a glossy chocolate sauce that drips just right. It’s dramatic, fun, and guaranteed to get compliments.
I add a few gold sprinkles or berries around the base to make it even more impressive. It looks like a patisserie masterpiece, but all you did was open the box.
M&S Collection Tiramisu
This tiramisu is an absolute winner — creamy, coffee-soaked, and rich with cocoa. The layers are beautifully balanced, and the mascarpone filling is light yet indulgent. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Serve it with espresso or dessert wine, and you’ve got the perfect Italian-style ending to your meal. It’s sophisticated, satisfying, and proof that great hosting doesn’t have to mean baking.
The Takeaway
Dessert is the grand finale of any dinner party, and M&S makes it effortless. These indulgent options look stunning, taste incredible, and require nothing but a plate and a smile. Whether you’re feeding family or friends, these M&S desserts guarantee you’ll end the evening on a sweet — and stress-free — note.
