"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What's the best dessert you've ever had?

I've had a chocolate molten cup in New Orleans very similar to the various collapsible, hot chocolate desserts mentioned here. Delicious with a fresh raspberry sauce, but not my #1.

Locally I'm partial to the warm gingercake served with pumpkin ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce.

Also the white chocoalte blueberry tart. Very lovely.

And the banana creme tartlet at Miette with the Scharffenberger chocolate bottom.

Best ever though is probably the first tiramisiu I ever had, which was in Paris. It was more Italian than French and more custardy than cakey. So good.

Up with the sun

Boston Cream Pie for me is whipped cream over a light, fluffy aeriation of chocolate.

No cakey bits at all? That sounds like chocolate mousse to me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think Allyson is getting EVERYONE'S secretary's day presents!

bug thing: I once put my foot in my loafer and was greeted by a water bug. I came close to heart failure. I am not kidding.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Okay, this is torture and I want to go back to the bugs now.

(Really good chocolate-covered strawberries, I think. One of those foodstuffs that shouldn't just be good enough.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A fresh Bombay mango, cut in half around with the seed popped out, and the cup made of fruit filled with home made vanilla bean ice cream.

Homemade chocolate ice cream.

Pears cooked in red wine, served with Creme Anglaise.

Tiramisu with Blue Mountain Coffee.

Apple crumble with a good cup of tea.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Gus--this page has pictures and descriptions of desserts. [link]

It has the traditional Boston Cream Pie--cake, custard and chocolate glaze, and also what it sounds like you are describing-French Silk Pie.

I'm a dessert slut...the McNulty of sweet stuff. Every one is the best one, please, baby, please. But we've not had anything decadent around here for a bit...I blame that asshole from "Supersize Me".

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

That sounds like chocolate mousse to me.

Pre-zactly. Chocolate mousse in a pie shell, with whipped cream. No spiders.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The Red Sox got rained out, which is probably the best thing that's happened to them so far this week.

Indeed. Sadly, tomorrow they fly to Texas, where I gather rain is a less common occurence.

My favorite dessert ever? Might be the chocolate cake-y pudding-y object I had in the Tate Modern. With chocolate-ness, and then hot toffee sauce on top. It was actually lunch, not a dessert.
