I'm just so tired of sweet. I've got several occasions coming up that I need to make a dessert for. I will still be making a sweet dessert, but was hoping for some ideas on some non-sweet ideas.

desserts are supposed to have some sweet to . Have you tried spice cakes? Those have a bit of a kick to them other than 500% sweet. Chocolate and cayenne can be paired together carefully.

First thing that came to mind is salted chocolate torte, or salted caramels. Strawberry shortcakes (biscuit style with balsamic strawberries and cream). Herbed shortbreads. Mousse. Bread puddings. Lemon chiffon. Carrot style cakes. Cheesecakes. Pistachio gelato. Yumm :)

You could also consider drinks - Mango lassi. Cocoa.
