Toll House Cookie Pie at the Warwick Hotel dining room (somewhere near Hershey, PA). Make sure you get the scoop of ice cream with this thing.

At Wish, the outstanding restaurant in The Hotel in South Beach, I had two incredible desserts-- a "dulce de leche de satin" (dulce de leche with caramelized banana and crushed Oreo crust) the first night, and a "melting chocolate 'cake'" (similar to a molten chocolate babycake, served with coconut sorbet). Presentation may have been a bit precious (and it was-- we even took a picture), but the desserts were phenomenally wonderful.

MY daughter just graduated from the Culinary Institute of America with a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts. EVERYTHING she makes is my FAVORITE dessert! Two real favorites are her chocolate mousse cake and caramel shortcake -- both to die for!!!
My other favoite dessert is a chocolate souf

I HAD that peanut butter pie--Mrs. George's in Rocky Mount no longer exists...She retired about 12 years ago....


My favorite dessert was the Molten Chocolate cake on vacation in the Cotswolds in England-- at the Lord of the Manor Inn...TO DIE FOR!!!

some ones i haven't forgotten...
grand marnier souffle at the flagstaff inn in flagstaff, colorado. my first, my last and the best souffle ever! it was lightening like crazy, and you could see 3 states from that high up.
rum cake at the magic castle in l.a. it'll stop you in your tracks.
on the simple side, pies (apple, blueberry, peach, banana cream, pumpkin, etc...)from briemere farms in riverhead new york. 1 hour lines? no problem. not to be missed!!
my mothers cheesecake. nothing better.

Too many to even remember!!
But I do remember last nights!
Warm chocolate molten cake, sitting in a puddle of rasberry sauce with fresh rasberries scattered about.
Mmmmmmmmm~

Apple Pie at Silva's Restaurant in Weed, CA

France is famous for its pastries, but the best pastries I have ever had by far come from a little bakery in central Germany. Earlier this year, we spent some time with German relatives and to celebrate a birthday, they served about two dozen slices of different pastries from the bakery. Each one was more scrumptious than the next, but I was over the moon for the cappuccino buttercream layer cake and a raspberry sponge and whipped cream cake.
My favorite chocolate dessert is chocolat moelleux, which is a semisweet chocolate cake with a dark chocolate mousse in the middle. Served warm, usually with a vanilla/fruit coulis.

Andy, thanks for the update. I think of that place every now and again and I would have guessed it was a thing of the past. Hope she passed on that recipe! I miss the PB pie and the NC style barbeque back here in the midwest.

Passion fruit souffle at Vong (one of Jean George's restaurants in NYC).

It's served hot, with a blop of passion fruit ice cream in the middle. Yummmm!

Just reading this makes my mouth start watering!! I think I'll try some of Scarlett's dessert first and then BTilke's. But then I always love chocolate especially with raspberries... and gee, it's only 1:30pm how much longer til dinner.

Key Lime pie from the little pie company in NYC.

Ricotta fritters dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar and served with peach ice cream and fresh sliced peaches. It was heaven.

Ate this last night at Craft in NYC. FANTASTIC restaurant.
