My DD is studying graphs and needs to poll people on their favorite dessert. Could you post your favorite dessert??

Thanks!

cheesecake, sugar free.

Apple Brown Betty (warm)
... with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top

I love apple strudel and have a great recipe. It is very high in calories, but always comes out perfect.

Chocolate. Anything chocolate. I especially love brownies and chocolate ice cream.

Do we have to pick just one???

Creme Brulee!!!

Oh, I forgot about creme brulee. And fresh berries.

I do love dessert!

Tiramisu. Just had it tonight.

Pumpkin, pecan cheesecake. Lots of sugar, Mel!



God's Blessings,

Say

Ditto on the creme brulee.

What *is* creme brulee? Never had it.

A custard with eggs, cream, sugar, vanilla, etc. with a caramelized crunchy top. Can't eat that calorie-laden thing too often.

I'm with Pep. The more crumble on top the better.

Anything chocolate!

Oh, and pineapple upside down cake. Yummy.

Olive Garden's Lemon Custard Cake

or

Marie Calendars Chocolate Silk Pie with Oreo cookie crust.

or

Salt Lake City's Grand America Hotel's Creme Brulee

Depends on where I am.

The best homemade dessert?

bittersweet chocolate souffle with a espresso ganache center!! just made that last night to watch the olympics....good glass of red wine...warm chocolate dessert....fire going in the fireplace and usa winning gold!

I made pineapple meringue pie last night. I think it's a new fav...

Homemade - mincemeat pie (with real meat; I make my own every Christmas season)

Purchased - Prinz Regent Torte (shown here)

Homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I make a mean carrot cake.

Brownie fudge sunae with extra hot fudge please...../

Oh gosh...warm brownies with 'nilla icecream and fudge sauce.

My oldest and I used to go out just for dessert and we'd always share one of those.

A really good piece of chocolate brownie cake, with chocolate ice cream on top, and then maybe some of those mini Hershey dark chocolate kisses on top of all of that. No hot fudge necessary, though. While tasty, indeed, that would be just too darn over the top......

TB likes chocolate....

Chocolate, don't care what kind. Dark is best though.

This thread is going to my thighs...I can feel it every time I click the link...

Jean, I'm gonna spank you!

as if there were any other kind.....

Have you tried the Dar Chocolate Reeses peanut butter cups?

They should be outlawed!!!!!

I hadn't even heard of them until a commercial came on a few night ago and DH said "hey, have you tried those??? Looks like something you would LOVE!".

Not sure I need something to make me love chocolate MORE! Sigh...

I have gained a pound since yesterday, and I place all of the blame on this thread.

Time to exercise!

Thank you all, she has collected her data.

Return to your carrot sticks.

Like Traci,
REAL carrot cake with cream cheeze dressing. Now that is an addiction!!!

The poll is closed.

Now to pull out anything that has chocolate and raspberries...

Hope Traci will post her carrot cake recipe. It is one of my favorite things, and I have no idea how to make it.

Fred: I have the best recipe ever for a chocolate raspberry coffee cake. We go raspberry picking every summer and use fresh raspberries.

Believer, any chance of you posting your apple strudel recipe?
Pretty please!

Doggone it, writer1. You made my mouth water just reading that!

Fred: I'll see if I can dig up the recipe. I only make it during raspberry season, but I'm sure it's around here somewhere.

Thanks! As one of my new pursuits as a single man I've taken up cooking again!

I have a class this weekend: Taste off Thai!

One cannot boast without posting the recipe........

I would LOVE to get my hands on a copy of this, PLEASE???? PRETTY PLEASE??? WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND A CHERRY ON TOP???.....

not2fun

Well, I had been RESISTING them for a couple of months, when I told H about them last week. The next day he brought me one home......

Twas a very sweet thing for him to do, BUT, man, those things need to be BANNED!!!!..

not2fun

Okay, at the grocery store this evening, I picked up a cheesecake sampler. Let's see: New York style, Strawberry, Caramel Apple, and Triple Chocolate.

Guess which one I will delve into first?

I have THIS thread and you fine people to thank for this little episode of gluttony!

By the way, Fred-O, the slice of chocolate and rasberry looked pretty darned tempting, too.......

Bon Appetit!

Raspberry-Chocolate Coffee Cake

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
2 ts. baking powder
1 ts. vanilla
1/2 ts. salt
1 egg
1 6 oz. package chocolate chips
1 cup fresh raspberries

----Streusel Topping------

1/4 cup firm butter
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar


Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare streusel by cutting butter into flour and sugar until crumbly. Grease square 9 by 9 in. pan. Beat all ingredients except for chocolate chips, raspberries, and streusel in medium bowl on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl. Spread half of batter in pan. Sprinkle with half each of the chocolate chips, raspberries, and streusel. Repeat layers. Bake 50 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Oh, yum! Thank you, writer1.

Is the milk whole milk? Can one use skim milk?

Fred-O, SKIM milk? We're talkin' about some rather decadent delicacies. Splurge and go with the whole milk stuff.

You're a runner. You're still gonna burn it off in about 8 seconds, right??

TB

I just use what we drink - 1%. It isn't going to be a low-calorie dessert either way, but it sure is yummy.

Well, I'm too late for the survey, but peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples sauteed in butter, then tossed with a little sugar (I use Equal) to taste and cinnamon (if you like cinnamon; I don't), and spooned over vanilla ice cream...Yummy! If you don't have any ice cream, a little bit of milk or cream mixed in works pretty well, too.

Then, there's Chocolate Eclair Dessert that my DD demands I make every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Pineapple Gooey Cake

Homemade Banana pudding, with meringue on top, and using plain ol' vanilla pudding (none of that fake banana flavoring crap).

My mama's Homemade Chocolate Pudding, which she'll never make again unless I go get her out of assisted living and bring her home with me to make it!
