Mostly cheese & fresh fruit.

My all-time favorite restaurant dessert was Chocolate Velvet Cake, which I used to enjoy at D'ar Tiffany on Long Island. The baker was a nice German lady who lived somewhere in Westbury, I think.

Otherwise, I always love a good NY cheesecake (Junior's!) or chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake (CC Factory), key lime pie & lemon meringue pies, brownies, and spumoni (especially @ Maggiano's). I'm sure there's others to add to the list, I usually check out the dessert menu BEFORE I order my dinner at a restaurant.

Here is a recipe:

Mandarin Chocolate Sherbet

Stir together and put into an ice-cream maker:
1 quart milk
1 6-oz can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 cup sugar or equivalent sweetener
6 Tbsp. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt

Follow ice cream maker's directions.

Try it, you'll LOVE it!

Oh that sound sooooooo good! Now I'm tempted to buy an ice-cream maker!
