What's your favourite dessert?

[TheKitchenWitch]

Or whatever you call the sweet thing you have after your evening meal.

I've just decided that mine is creme brulee. I absolutely love it more than anything else.
Close second would be homemade trifle (pref. no jelly), or a really good tiramisu. I am also partial to Eton mess and chocolate mousse. But creme brulee wins every time.

What's yours?

A really good tiramisu (rare)
chocolate lava cake

Gooseberry crumble and custard or anything with alcohol such as Cranachan. I love ice cream as well with Cornish clotted cream flavour with Bailey's or Advocat over it or Rum and Raisen being my favourites. Mind you I was served a Gin and Blood Orange ice cream recently. I was fab. Unfortunately, the host is not of a mind to share the recipe ☹️

My favourite pudding is probably rhubarb crumble with cream or thin custard.

Tiramisu

I'm not generally a pudding person but will have this every time if it is on the menu

Red Velvet or a lemon tart with whipped cream

The best Black Forest gateaux I’ve found, like it used to be when I was a kid, is from the Morrisons fresh cream cake section 😋

My granny ( God rest her soul), and now my bestest, favourite aunty, make a hot raspberry sponge. Served with cream it is delightful and my absolute favourite.

Too many to choose from but top 3:
Homemade trifle
Christmas pudding
Blackberry crumble

My mum's lemon meringue pie.

All of the above. Creme brulee is up at the top.

I once had a gooseberry crumble in a pub after a lovely roast dinner. A gooseberry crumble. There was literally one gooseberry in there! I've often laughed about it.

Oh god! ALL of the deserts!

Banoffee pie maybe....
Lemon meringue pie....
Sticky toffee pudding....

I want them all!!!

It has to be creme brulee - it's the best thing ever and I totally agree with you, OP :)

Lemon Meringue Pie

I love everything mentioned here, but I rarely want cake after a meal (I'm not in the UK and we'd have coffee and cake in the afternoon). I'd also only want crumble or anything with fruit in it earlier in the day, so maybe after a Sunday lunch. I'm only just realising that I have very complicated internal "rules" about desserts :D

Raspberry sorbet.

I went out for a lovely pub lunch today at a place I’ve been to before, and I was so disappointed they’ve taken the chocolate orange brownie and vanilla ice cream off the menu. Honestly, it marred the day, it’s my absolute favourite! 😂🍫🍊

Everything - except desserts that have good things in them like fruit. Desserts are for indulgence not healthy eating.

1. Bread and butter pudding without the raisins etc. but choc chips instead, cream, and made with croissants.
2. Baileys cheesecake without gelatine/jelly
3. Banoffee pie
4. Tiramisu
5. Profiteroles

I'll be here all night. But you get the the idea. The more indulgent and sinful the better. Double helpings too please.

Right where shall I start? 😁😋

Lemon meringue pie
Rhubarb pie
Rum baba
Ginger Sponge pudding with custard

Coffee and cake in the afternoon? Kaffee und Kuchen by any chance?

Apple crumble. Needs a very thick crumble topping.

I also love peach cobbler.

I can’t choose!
My Mum’s Mille Feuille, Gateaux Dianne, chocolate mousse or St Clemente’s
cheesecake (this will totally out me to my friends!!)

Very similar to Creme Brûlée but Crema Catalan is wonderful, or rich chocolate mousse - maybe with a hint of Grand Marnier.

The Christmas eve pudding plate, which is a big plate scattered with mince pies, Xmas biscuits, crystallised ginger, quality street, squares of Christmas cake, marzipan fruits ... anything festive we've got in. We put it down in front of the telly and everyone chooses nibbles as they like through the evening.
