Valentine’s Day is all about sharing sweet moments and what better way to celebrate than with a dessert made for indulging together! As we count down to Valentines Day, we’re spotlighting the ultimate sharing dessert: our Cheesecake Xangos.
Perfect for Valentine’s Day, but just as ideal for romantic date nights, group celebrations, and all holiday menus that need a little extra sparkle year-round. And with dessert sales rising 80% on Valentine’s Day in 2024, now’s the moment to offer something unforgettable.
Shareable Desserts Are a Top Trend
According to Sysco Foodie, shareable desserts are one of the strongest menu trends as diners gravitate toward variety and experiential eating. Sharable desserts continue to grow because today’s diners want variety, interaction and desserts that feel like an “experience”.
Creative Ways to Serve
Sysco reports that operators increasingly want versatile dessert bases that they can personalize with house-made sauces, spices and garnishes to maintain their own brand identity. Making customizable items like our Cheesecake Xangos ideal.
Sushi Boat
Give couples a moment they’ll never forget by serving sliced Cheesecake Xangos on a sushi boat to add a fun twist that turns desserts into a centerpiece. Pair with fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream to complete the presentation.
Mexican “Hot” Chocolate
Serve our Cheesecake Xangos in an elevated presentation built around chocolate bark and ganache, paired perfectly with a cozy cup of hot chocolate for comfort, nostalgia-driven indulgence.
Banana Pie Pudding
Our Banana Pie Pudding Xangos turns a plated dessert into a moment of nostalgia, indulgence and experience. Warm, cinnamon-sugared Xango paired with fresh banana and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, finished with a caramel drizzle and classic cherry on top.
Handheld Delight
Looking for something casual, cozy, and date-night friendly? Serve warm Xangos in a basket with a side of chocolate, caramel, or strawberry sauce. It’s the perfect comfort dessert for Valentine’s celebrations.
High Margin / Low Labor
Shareable desserts offer operators strong margins with minimal labor–especially when one SKU can be plated in multiple premium ways. The best performing options are those that:
- Require minimal prep
- Can be plated in multiple ways
- Allow operators to add house-made components (sauces, fruit, garnishes, etc).
Shareable Desserts Win on Valentine’s Menus
Valentine’s Day is the best time when guests want something memorable and something that feels special. Our Cheesecake Xangos check every box:
- Higher check averages from shareable items.
- Stronger social engagement from visual unique desserts.
- Increased table satisfaction from “experiential” plating.
