Re: What is your favorite dessert?

Chocolate peanut butter cream pie!


For an after dinner dessert I will say Pineapple Upside Down Cake.
For a stand alone dessert it is Soft Serve Ice Cream, usually a twist and just ice cream nothing else.


Ice Cream or Rice Pudding (Homemade)

Lemon Meringue Pie or Coconut Lemon Pie :)


Strawberry Rhubarb pie
Key Lime pie
Tiramisu
Death by Chocolate


Any pastry from Giancarlo's. Homemade cheesecake or Baklava (warmed) ala mode both from Budd Lake Diner. Kahlua chocolate cake. Cherry or orange jello with whipped cream. I don't eat desserts too often; however these are my faves.

Second on Creme Brûlée. It’s the global winner IMO. Had it on 4 Continents, many countries, and always good. Not to many deserts you can find in every country in the world.

Second is Mom’s cheese-pie (cheese cake filing in a graham cracker pie crust) topped with raspberries. Have one a year on my birthday. Hoping to make it to 100 pies!

Creme Brulee used to be my very favorite dessert until the day when I "pigged out" on it and ....you know the rest of the story. The cheese pie with raspberry topping sounds delicious...

I always wanted to try the Chocolate Fondue at Mattars - bet that is real good!


Port, preferably old and Portuguese.

Barring that Strawberry Rhubarb pie is a good choice.

Talenti usually has coconut and then you get to use the jar to store stuff:)

Chocolate Cream Pie !! with a close second of Lemon Meringue Pie !!


@Luca, you must make a special trip to Mattars for that chocolate fondue. It is fantastic and worth every calorie. No joke.

Joyful; funny story- new wife made special desert for three years. Never perfect, always runny. Each year I smiled, said it was perfect, Mom’s was like that all the time while the thought bubble said “I wantmy Mommy’s.”

Mom had oopsed the recipe. Yeah, oops, sure.... One of those baking soda/powder sort of mistakes. Glad my wife is a good egg, then again, over 35 years of me proves how sweet she is that.....

While apparently my Mommy’s secret, let me know if recipe wanted. May take a bit, may be begging involved. Apparently it is now my wife’s secret. Pity those pending DIL’s......

I used to love a rice dessert my mom made in the 60's.
I think it was called 'Glorified Rice'...
It was rice with fruit cocktail, whipped cream, and marshmallows. ???
Mom always left out the marshmallows. We kids didn't like them.

Dad loved Jello with fruit cocktail mixed in it! ,,, Yuck! And we were FORCED to eat it!

Does anyone remember Jello 1-2-3?

Dating myself, lol


PS A good baklava with lots of honey is divine.


Bread pudding. My mom's recipe. She always added a little bourbon. :)

Re: What is your favorite dessert?

Can’t decide on just one.

Zucchini bread, banana bread, pumpkin bread, apple cider donuts, rice pudding, anything chocolate, carrot cake, cheesecake, Saint Joseph cakes, cannolis, warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and warm peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.

Oh, can’t forget anise/anisette cookies at Christmas time.

It’s only a picture. Don’t eat the picture!

That’s what the old bakery in Washington pumped out. Little single portions. You could buy a dozen and they would all look as pretty as that picture, but all would be different. Man, I miss that.

The picture looks like Giancarlo's. They make them.


So they have many varieties of single portion pastries to mix n match?

Re: What is your favorite dessert?

This is a Saint Joseph cake. Either filled with custard, jelly or cannoli filling. I prefer the cannoli filling.

They also have mini size whole cakes. All different types. I love the checkerboard cake and the one with the raspberry filling. Can't remember the name. Sacher torte? Very classy looking. Try the brownies. Best brownies that I ever had! And a caseful of cookies sold by the pound. I like the fig cookies and the rugelach. Lace cookies too!

Love that place! Closest thing to a local bakery around here.
I can't include Weis and SR as 'bakeries', too many chemicals and the taste is off
on every item I've tried.
