This is gorgeous, I have never made it but had it at some friends. Wonderful served with some "creme Anglaise" ( thin vanilla custard)

This is also gorgeous ( I have actually made that one !) :

And this is my very favourite dessert in the whole wide world and much easier than it sounds :

I also often make my own chocolate truffles which are really easy and quick to make and taste gorgeous. And always impress people too !

And you can customise them with any liqueurs you like, nuts, flavourings etc...
I sometimes make them as a present for people to take away :

Otherwise how about a good Almond and Pear Tart ( serve with a dark chocolate sauce and heavy cream or even some good vanilla ice cream) :

The truffles and Grand Marnier Souffle are much easier than they look ! Honest.

Desserts are not exactly my speciality so if I can make it anybody can.

It is like real Mayonnaise , it sounds a lot more daunting than it is.
