What is your favorite dessert when you were young and what is it now as an adult? Mine as a child was vanilla ice cream. As an adult it is Blueberry cheese cake.
My grandmother my dad's mom Would bake a blueberry pie for me on the rare occasion I had gotten to visit with my grandparents there is no comparison I have ever found to that treat. I have taught my self to bake as well as cook. On occasion, I will make a cheesecake. I use Fanny Farmers cheesecake recipe I alter it a tad when making the graham cracker crust I add 1/4 cup of sugar. In the cake itself, I add about 3 tablespoons of triple sec.
Like you, as a child, vanilla soft serve from DQ...as an adult, creme brulee from Vincent's in Camelback, AZ....omg.
My mother would take freshly baked bread, while still warm, cut into cubes covered in freshly separated heavy cream with cinnamon and . . To live for! No creo en Dios!
Sounds out of this world!!!
Hedgehog Slice and Pavlova with lots of fresh cream and strawberries.
A Nutty Elise pie from my trip to Intercourse is probably my favorite dessert of the summer!!! It is so nutty and chocolatey, tastes amazing when it's warm and gooey and with a glass of milk!!
Pecan pie (especially smothered in whipped cream) and cannolis. Then, now, forever! ?
brownies, chess cake, apple pie/empanada or hot fudgecake with vanilla ice cream always were and still are high up there... later on I developed a taste for cheesecake, red velvet, carrot cake, and anything with a cream cheese or buttercream icing. This list is only ever going to get longer. ?
Then: pineapple upside down cake, pecan pie, microwaved hostess fruit pie with a pat of butter.
Now: banoffee pie, tiramisu, flan
I love chocolate. I love good vanilla ice cream( never soft serve). There is a wonderful ice cream shop near me that make strawberry ice cream with chocolate chips. I also love strawberry/balsamic gelato. I have lots of delicious cookie recipes, pie with my homemade crust( with lard), delicious. It us easier to say what I don't like. ( rhubarb, mince meat pie, . Licorice, and other icky stuff that people think are good).
I make a chocolate pudding with coconut cream, ripe avocados and eggs and melted chocolate with a smattering of beets and figs. Everything organic. To die for!!!!
