Mine are macaroons. When they are done right, which they often aren't, they taste like donuts without having to be fried (which I suspect is due to the fat in coconuts) or post-donut clarity. The ones I like best aren't exactly made with coconut flour, but it's closer to a coarse flour than it is shredded coconut (which retains too much moisture). The right coarseness lends itself to piping like in this picture I think.
My second favorite dessert, or my favorite when served after a meal, is probably chocolate mousse.
What's yours?

Gajar ka halwa is great! I most recently had something similar made from beetroot and occasionally order Rasmalai although I don't like desserts with liquids as much as more solid ones.
We call it 'Chukandar ka halwa', though not as popular as Gazar ka halwa.
For solid ones, I would suggest you to try Khorak Mithai.
https://m.stacker.news/46104
That looks great. Like a fudgey healthier blondie.
Do you add wheat flour in a fudgey? If you do, it's Khorak Mithai. If you don't, it's Majun Mithai.
Our sweets and snacks are very royal. We do not shy away from using dry fruits and desi ghee
I've never tasted blondie. They seem too delicious. I'm gonna search them in my next visit to the city.
No wheat flour in fudge, but there is wheat flour in a blondie.
We don't use dry fruits in our desserts much. I'm not sure why.
So, fudgey is Khorak Mithai and blondie is a majun mithai!
Do you see how similar two very different cultures look from deep down?
In one day, you've surprised me with two other variants of yours. One is a music lover and other is a foodie.
I definitely do see how similar they are. We're always more similar than different.
I don't have a single favorite. I have sweet teeth. Cakes, cookies, ice cream, custards, bread pudding, etc.. It's pretty bad because so many things are pretty good.
I’m with you. My favorite dessert is usually whichever one is available.
I do have a preference for rich chocolatey desserts, but it’s not a deal breaker.
Bread pudding is so good. One of the steakhouses here always has bread pudding on the menu. It's like a bearclaw but gooier. So good.
For the record, I consider bread pudding mostly equivalent to french toast, which I also love.
Waffles and pancakes are another group, which I also like, but not as much because it has no cream.
I hadn't thought of comparing french toast to bread pudding, but that's pretty spot on. Very similar flavor/texture profile.
Cheesecake
Definitely one of the best. I'm a total cheese addict.
I have a special feeling about the lemon cheesecake flavour 🤤
Have you tried it?
Lemon cheeecake is good. I think I prefer strawberry or raspberry cheesecake though.
Do you guys know about the cheesecake factory?
Do you refer a particular one?
When I was in Taiwan, I always like the kind that had a jam on top.
It was simple, but always tasted good.
There's one in nearly every city here
They have a lot of flavors, but I always felt that their cheesecake was a little too sweet at times!
Yummy 🤤
I also love cherries 🍒 so I'll appreciate whatever dessert with cherries as well
Cheesecake is very good.
But it is all on who makes it.
I have had this soft cheesecake before....gross.
But have you ever had japanese cheesecake?
Its so fluffy, its like sponge cake but 1000x better!
Pressure cooker cheesecake is easy and solid, my favorite Instant Pot New York Cheesecake #17.
Lol my guy, like real late at night, sensational

Fuck yea!
lol I've never been to a buc-ee's yet
Bruh. These nuggets will change your life.
Love me some custard and torched sugar.

Classic. What's extra nice about creme brulee is that practically all corporate steak houses have it.
I wonder what French people think about it in the US.
The only french character available in my mind would spit it out, riot in the street, go home for a menage a trois, then smoke a cigarette in effortless elegance while watching the sun set on a fire escape.

Those sound so good. I bet the texture is perfect.
Yes, you can eat them anywhere. You don't need to wash your hands after eating them. They are hard. They also come in soft texture. There are perhaps 100s of varities of Petha. This is the hardest and the most popular yet the cheapest. You can buy 2 pounds of petha in 80 or 85 cents!
Tiramisu
I just love how the chocolatey taste gets subsumed by my taste buds
I don't know of many desserts that do what a tiramisu does so well - many distinct elements that somehow end up working together perfectly.
It’s for the same reason that I like Mille-feuille!
What’s the impetus behind this question?
I was eating a macaroon today :)
Haha goes to show that sometimes we don’t need an a-ha moment to motivate us to ask a question
Apple pie!
Classic. Have you ever had it with a slice of cheese? I've always wanted to try that.
😂 nah lol some ice cream sure but not cheese
cheese for dessert or you are missing out!

What is it?
This is Ghevar, it is a disc-shaped Rajasthani sweet with a honeycomb-like texture, made from ghee, maida, and sugar syrup. It is traditionally associated with the month of Shraavana and the festivals of Teej and Raksha Bandhan. It is a part of Rajasthani tradition and is gifted to newly married daughter on Sinjara, the day preceding Gangaur and Teej. It is also one of the Chhapan Bhog (56 dishes) served to the Lord Krishna.
Lemon tart, as I like sour things.
There's a chocolate / pastry vendor in Vancouver named Thomas Haas that make a killer lemon tart which is my favorite.
https://m.stacker.news/46105
I love lemon tart. Not the same, but key lime pie is one of my favorite pies. All the other fruit pies are so messy.
I like key lime pies too. They have that distinct lime fragrance that is different from lemon tarts. Both great, but I prefer the lemon tart over the key lime pie. Just a personal preference.
I love Gulab Jabun
https://m.stacker.news/46132
Oh those are good, like syrupy donuts.
It's main ingredients are khoa, saffron, maida and sugar syrup.
Ice cream
Well what kind?
Pretty much any kind but I have a hard time saying no to Oreo ice cream.
https://m.stacker.news/46102
Have you ever had coldstone icecream?
Yes. In Canada we used to have cold stone in Tim Hortons locations.
I have always been a dairy queens fan, but I guess that isnt real ice cream.
Its soft serve.
I am a sucker for a Dairy Queen blizzard. Chocolate brownie one is my favourite.
Strawberry cheesequake!
I loved that one, I wonder if they still make it?
Think go to the wayside when you are so busy.
I cant even remember the last time I got one.
I love Besan Laddoos!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandar_laddu
https://m.stacker.news/46110
That sounds really good. I love anything just about anything made with gram flour.

Sticky rice and black sesame balls of joy are not bad.
My favorite desert is Key Lime Pie from a nice restaurant! It is healthy and tastes so good :)
As someone who makes a great key lime pie, I can assure you that it's not healthy if done right. The main ingredients in the filling are a lot of sweetened condensed milk (which is basically sugar with more sugar), egg yolks (which are fine), and key lime juice (healthy-ish, but also adds a lot of sugar). And the graham cracker crust is more sugar and fat.
Of course, all those unhealthy things are why it tastes so good. :-)
Maybe I've just always told myself it is healthy haha :)
Yea there are healthy versions, but they aren't as good as the OG recipe you mentioned.
I had this for the first time a few weeks ago, it's really good, but I wouldn't say healthy!
@CHADBot /centipede against
Let me tell you folks, I've seen a lot of comments in my time but this one takes the cake. Or should I say the "macaroon?" Now cascdr, you're saying macaroons taste like donuts, but let me tell you, nothing beats the real deal. How can you compare these tiny, little fancy cookies to the good old-fashioned American donut? They're not even close.
You say they aren't fried which you suspect is because of the fat in coconuts. Well I love coconuts, don't get me wrong, great fruit, absolutely fantastic. But let's get one thing straight, the glorious donut, an American classic is fried and that's the beauty of it. That's what makes it special. And you're trying to replace it with what? Shredded coconut? Come on!
And this thing with the coarse flour, piping, and moisture? Where's the simplicity? Where's the comfort we're looking for in food? The donut, simple, sweet, perfect. Has anyone ever tried ruining it with coarse flour? No sir!
As for the chocolate mousse, well, again, it's fine, it's fancy. But does it have that home baked American goodness? I think not.
In conclusion, folks, don't let the macaroon believers tell you they're better than a donut. It's simply not true. Let's keep our desserts great, let's stick to the classics!In conclusion, folks, don't let the macaroon believers tell you they're better than a donut. It's simply not true.

No.3 : Strawberry shortcake
No.2 : Crème brûlée
No.1 : Poor man’s pudding
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pouding_ch%C3%B4meur
Poor man’s pudding sounds legit. I’m surprised there isn’t a standout internationally known Canadian dessert that features maple syrup
It's a little known secret, often served at sugar shacks restaurants.
Can't go wrong mixing lots of butter, heavy cream and maple syrup together.
Bakalava, but just one small slice at a time because this thing is super sweet :-)
a second portion of whatever I had for the main 😝
I'm a big chocolate cheesecake fan, followed by a good crème brûlée.
On my palate, I find chocolate overpowers other flavors so I prefer chocolate on its own, but I bet I just haven't had the right chocolate cheesecake.
Macaroons when done right are so tasty.
They have a lot of pastrie shops in taiwan, l ate them often.
My favorite is tiramisu, amo made a good one.
Where would you recommend visiting for a proper macaroon? Any particular restaurants?
I haven't found anywhere in Austin that does them the way I like yet so I'm left hunting for less artisanal sources. I imagine any jewish bakery would have great ones though.
Occasionally they have them at our Whole Foods in the cookie bar, but very infrequently. The most reliable source for a decent macaroon I've found so far is Sprouts (another grocery chain here).
Cool, I’ll have to have a look. I have Whole Foods and sprouts accessible to me. Maybe some Jewish bakeries too
I don't have a favorite food, for dessert I prepare apples and oranges, my habit is to eat fruit after eating.
I like guacamole for dessert.

Raw milk is all the dessert I need. If not this - a simple classic apple crumble
I'm fan of walnuts and my favorite dessert is "Пахлава медовая" (as my mother tongue says), you can find it behind Baklava name
https://m.stacker.news/46148
Baklava is good, is it a widespread Russian tradition?
I'm not from russia and this dessert came to us from East countries. Some recipes from Turkey
Ice cream
Flan and Tiramisu
