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.

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.

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.

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.
