What's your favourite dessert?

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?

Eton mess or mango and passion fruit pavlova in summer. Sticky toffee pudding or apple and blackberry crumble in winter. Or pecan pie with ice cream.

oooh... I love puddings! Depending on my mood, any one of the below
apple and pear crumble (with lots of crumble) served with just melting really good quality vanilla ice cream or custard (or two portions - one with each!)
tiramisu - really boozy
sticky toffee pudding with just melting really good quality vanilla ice cream
self-saucing chocolate pudding with fresh raspberries and the just melting ice cream above (it has to be just melting!)
rich chocolate tart with a biscuit base with raspberry coulis
I am also quite partial to spotted dick with custard on a really chilly winter's day.

Tiramisu but only if I make it. It is low sugar, no booze so not traditional but just right for us!

I love them all.

Apple crumble, chocolate fondant, cheesecake, creme brûlée, ice cream, jam roly poly...
