What's your favorite dessert? How often do you eat it? I'll have to say... blueberry (or strawberry) cheesecake for me. I make sure I get a slice or two every weekend. :D

Anything chocolate!! mmmmmm yummy to my tummy!! Back in Austin, Tx there was this 24 hour restaurant called Katz's. They had the BEST death by chocolate cake in the whole entire world (my world anyway lol). Man I miss that cake. Dark chocolate cake, with thick chocolate mouse, and thick white chocolate mouse layers, with lots of other chocolate goodies too. mmmmmm Lin

grandma's deep dish peach cobbler I got the recipe, but mine never tastes as good as her's did... *sigh* maybe bein' a grandpa now will improve it :D

wavebreaker	06 Aug 2002
Yes, chocolate! ;) Or Ben & Jerry's ice cream... :)

Well, my Mum makes this absolutely gorgeous Mousse... She gets loadsa fresh strawberries, mashes them up, puts some double cream in there, some gelling agent and some other stuff I thik, and hey presto, after leaving it to set, we have the most delicious dessert ever! She doesn't make it often though, so it's a;ways a bit of a treat for when we hve family over for dinner. I'm gonna have to get the recipe off her when I move out! Kiama

Mousse au chocolat, I think you can bribe me with that (hey, don't believe you can get one of my rare taroholic collector' decks for a dish of Mousse! This won't work!).

Hmm, if I can pick two this is an easy one: Everything chocolate, everything ice cream... If I have to choose between them, it gets trickier....!! Jenny :)

My Darling, of course! I love mandrin orange salad!

jema	06 Aug 2002
it's a seasonal thing:) summer is ice-cream autumn is apple pie winter is "ostkaka" swedish cheesecake and very different from the american kind spring is fresh fruit esp berries.

Liliana	06 Aug 2002
A really well made tiramasu, yummy :) Also my moms pumpkin pie, her secret is to double the sugar and add 2 eggs ;) Shes the only one who can come close to making it as well as my great grandma did. :THP

truthsayer	06 Aug 2002
since i consider chocolate to one of the most important food groups(it's vitamin Ch), my fav dessert is breyer's butter pecan ice cream.

Red raven	06 Aug 2002
Grandma's blueberry pie. or, that failing to be around, amaretto cheesecake. (Though I hardly ever make it. it has to bake for like, 3 hours.)

Tiramisu accompanied by a cup of turtle cafe au lait (chocolate, caramel and pecan flavorings) - yum! Blessings - :TDEAT Starfish

Laurel	06 Aug 2002
Mine is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I only let myself have it once in a great while, like on a holiday or other celebration, now. Today I finished studying the 22 Trumps, one a day. Its been 22 days since I joined this forum (I think) or at least read the posts. Its been 22 days that I controlled my diet instead of letting it control me, and 22 days since I felt like I was dying inside. I think its going to be a Carrot Cake Day! Laurel

Red raven	06 Aug 2002
I *heart* cream cheese frosting! I could eat that on anything. :P Jema: if you'd like I can try to find the book and e-mail the recipie to you. No guarantees, though. my mom has a very large cook book collection.

jade	06 Aug 2002
i could live on carrot cake, cheese cake, licorice ice cream AND pumkin pie! yummy.................... jade

zorya	06 Aug 2002
pot de creme au chocolat (my apologies to the french speakers, if i misspelled that lol )

Mermaid	06 Aug 2002
Dark chocolate and raspberry mouse, served with whipped cream and fresh berries... With hot white chocolate to follow! (Can any one tell I'm another chocolate fan? ;))

TallTarotGuy	06 Aug 2002
I'd have to agree with Truthsayer...chocolate is the unrecognized food group...if FDA would admit this, we'd all be alot happier. :) I myself would eat pretty much anything if it was made with chocolate (the exception being chocolate covered insects...I have to draw the line somewhere). I love DARK chocolate. I guess I would have to say my all-time favorite dessert is a brownie....can't beat a thick, fudgy, loaded with chocoalte chunks, covered in frosting piece of heaven on a plate. Just my 2 cents. TTG

Red Emma	06 Aug 2002
Three-layer chocolate devil's food cake (from my Mom's recipe) with thick layers of whip cream, garnished with bananas. Unfortunately I can't eat chocolate, dairy (whip cream), sugar, wheat or bananas. But I can dream, can't I?

kayne	06 Aug 2002
Mmmm... Dessert! Big Chocolate fan here too... I also love Pavlova - especially my mums! For those who don't know what a Pavlova is... it is an Australian creation made in the 30's for the ballet dancer. It has a base and sides (almost castle-like) of crispy meringue and is then topped with fresh cream, strawberries, kiwi-fruit and passion fruit. Check it out.

Melvis	06 Aug 2002
ANYTHING chocolate, especially dark chocolate! And I have to agree with the other Tiramisu fans here...what a heavenly creation! I just love the idea of putting rum in your dessert...saves you the trouble of fixing that after-dinner drink! ;) Peace, Melvis :TSTRE

Kath	06 Aug 2002
My husband makes an amazing lemon cheesecake. It is divine! I also love sacher tort, mud cake, and this desert my mum makes with lemon cream, and sponge finger biscuits. Cheers Kath

starr	07 Aug 2002
My downfalls used to be cheesecake and ice cream, now its fruit, or berry pie . Are they truly healthier????

Strega	07 Aug 2002
YES! ANYTHING CHOCOLATE! :D And Carrot Cake is a FAV of mine too! :)

Liliana	07 Aug 2002
Oh how could of I forgottone my husband or his fathers cheesecakes, they are simply some of the best in the world, but its been years since I had one. :( My wedding cake was a white chocolate rasperry cheesecake made by my husbands father, and for his brothers wedding my husbands fathr invented a cheese-cake, it has ingrediants of cheesecake and regualr cake in it, has the texture sort of of a regular cake. It waa good. Ive also had apple, pumpkin, and numerous other flavors made by them, but they are pretty expensive and time consuming, so since the kids I havent had any. :THP

Liliana	07 Aug 2002
Cant say how good it is because I dont make it, I eat it at restraunts :) TIRAMISU INGREDIENTS: * 2pkgs Ladyfingers (Speciailty Foods brand is my favorite) * 1/2c Brewed espresso coffee, cooled * 3tbl Marsala or Kahlua (Use more or less to taste) * 6 Eggs separated * 6tbl Sugar * 2lbs Marscapone cheese (or 1 1/2 lbs cream cheese mixed with 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup sour cream ) * 4tbl Unsweetened cocca DIRECTIONS: Spread ladyfingers on a large baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine coffee and liquour. Sprinkle on ladyfingers. Beat egg yolks and sugar with mixer until thick and lemon colored.(4-5min) Add marscapone and blend on low speed until combined. In large bowl beat egg whites with electric mixer Until soft peaks form.(2-3min) Using a rubber spatula fold egg whites into marscapone mixture. Line the bottom of an 8 cup souffle dish (or 9X13) with half of the lady fingers. Spread half of the marscapone mixture on the ladyfingers. Sift 2tbl of cocoa over the surface. Repeat ladyfingers, marscapone mixture and cocoa. Cover with plastic and chill overnight. I usually divide recipe in half unless serving a large group. Then only one layer is used

Tiramisu ... tiramisu ... tiramisu I can't seem to see anything, my eyes are glazing over ... tiramisu ... tiramisu ...

Poetlove	07 Aug 2002
I make this awsome cake. It has a cream cheese and cherry pie filling middle, and is about the best thing. It is just so rich that one piece is good at a time. Poet

jade	07 Aug 2002
i've gained 10 pounds just reading this thread! heehee jade

Diana	07 Aug 2002
Poetlove, now I know what I want to dream about tonight! (*sighing with delight*)

Kismet	09 Aug 2002

I'd say that definitely deserves a good sized slice of carrot cake Laurel! I have to add my vote for tiramisu as well, mmmmm they make tiramisu ice cream too, you know.... And I still have to find my recipe for Peaches and Cream pie. It's a family recipe, but I have my suspicions on that since it requires jello pudding... LOL I also love my grandma's rice pudding and bread pudding. Liliana, your wedding cake sounds fabulous. I love cheesecake. My wedding cake was a 3 layer pumpkin molasses cake with raisins and lemon cream cheese frosting. I made it. My sister offered to make my wedding cake, but she can't bake from scratch (only box cakes for her) so I said "No, thanks!" Can anyone tell dessert is my fave? I don't eat this stuff often, but I still LOVE my desserts! R :)

napaea	16 Aug 2002
:eek: wow i've never heard of Tiramisu before today, and i've found like 3 or 4 threads with it today! i'm thankful you put in the recipe, Lilliana, I guess I'll have to break down and try it. I've never been much of a desert girl. I'm strictly a tortilla chips and salsa kind. But I discovered this summer what my desert is!! root beer floats ! all of a sudden i'm a fool for dessert time!
