Weekends are all about spending time with your loved ones, forgetting about the paperwork, and just unwinding. If you are bored of the whole clubbing scene, the best way to enjoy your weekend is by planning a movie night with your friends. But for a hit movie night, just planning what to watch would not be enough.
So, why don’t you take a step ahead and make it a theme party? If you are a fan of nail-biting thriller movies, you can make your weekend party one of the most memorable nights with themed desserts. While you find a comfortable spot to watch a movie and arrange finger foods, here are some of the all-time favourite thriller movies and dessert ideas that you can try for your next movie night.
Joker’s Ganache Tart
The twisted world showcased in the award-winning movie, “Joker” can get to a darker side as the movie proceeds. While having a thriller movie night with your friends, you can make some themed dark chocolate ganache tarts. You can make these tarts by prebaking a crumbly crust and filling it with a rich ganache. Further, you can customise it with a red cherry and a coloured Joker-like smile.
The Tourist’s Vanilla Cake
The Tourist is a classic movie which is the perfect blend of suspense, thrill, and romance. The dessert that would perfectly suit this movie is a vanilla cake, which depicts its versatility, mirroring the endless possibilities as between the movie characters. With a soft sponge cake iced with your favourite flavour of cream, you can make the most of your movie night.
Bird Box’s Trifle
Bird Box is filled with mystery and fear, and you would surely not be able to guess what’s next. To commemorate such suspense, what would be better than the layered dessert trifle, which would also keep your friends wondering about the next layer? With the endless options available, you can choose to layer your favourites, like having a cookie or brownie base topped with custard or whipped cream, and finally, fruits or chocolates as per your preference.
Gone Girl’s Apple Crisp
The enigmatic Amy Dunne of "Gone Girl" deserves a dessert that's as full of surprises as she is. To do justice to the character, you can make an apple crisp but with a twist. Instead of having traditional crumble topping, you can create layers with contrasting textures. For example, you can layer oat crumble, pecans, and candied fruits, representing the many layers of the characters. Finally, garnish with whipped cream, and your themed dessert will be ready to serve.
Black Swan’s Chocolate Brownies
"Black Swan" is a film that explores the dark side of ambition and the struggle for perfection. Just the brownies look like something easy to make; you need sheer dedication to reach just the perfect texture and flavour of the dessert. So, why don’t you bake classic brownies for your group and serve them with a scoop of ice cream topped with chocolate sauce while enjoying a classic thriller?
