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.
Chocolate and orange go great together! Have any of you ever tried the Mandarin Chocolate Sherbet from Baskin Robbins? I haven't bought ice cream there for many years, but that one used to be my favorite. They only brought it out once in a while. Deep dark chocolate with an orange flavor-- yummy!
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!
I try not to think about it for the sake of pretending to be healthy. OTOH, I'd like to try more baking, so I should get educated about it.
For sweet pastries, I'm a sucker for a good Danish, or Bread Pudding. I'd probably like a nice home-made healthy chicken pie on the savory side. The store-bought ones here are gross.
Cheese danish, granulated jelly donuts, real pound cake with vanilla icing, lemon meringue pie, strawberry shortcake, cinnamon rolls, etc. I love good pastries just as long as I don't eat too many of them. They are truly my weakness. I think it's genetic. My aunt Daisy always ate cake for dinner instead of real food.
