it would have to be the Sahara!



If we're talking desserts, I'd go with cinnamon rolls.

😄 As for me it'd be The Arizona High Desert.

It sometimes runs on local PBS. Apparently you can stream it if you make a donation to AZ Public Media.

I've seen several fascination episodes, but it's not on our local channel anymore. They do have "In The Americas" with David Yetman -- not quite as interesting, IMHO.

Second choice - sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream

if it's got that real cream cheese icing.

... on top of a thick slice of potica.

I might have had a banana split once. Fun. But I not a super fan of bananas. Like em, not love em.
My mom made a nice banana bread. 👍

Pepas, Argentine quince thumbprint cookies. With mate, in the afternoon.

YUM!

Or Chocolate Chip cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes.

Or Walker's shortbread cookies from Scotland.

Or my own Spritz butter cookies.

The 'question' was for ONE! (now I'm drooling for four!!).

to look them up.

For a fruit pie I'd choose apple. 👍

It's easy and so good. The trick to making it crunchy not sticky or tacky is a small amount of baking soda. Also, I buzz roasted almonds in my food processor, not too fine, and add that into the candy when it's ready to take off the burner. Then I either pour chocolate chips or plain Hershey bars on it to melt, then spread that around. Easy peasy.

4 sticks butter, real butter.
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Cook on medium heat until that golden brown toffee color. About 300° - 320° F. Take off the heat and add 1/4 top baking soda and the 3/4 to 1cup chopped roasted almonds and stir. Pour on to buttered surface like a cookie sheet or large rectangle cake pan. Pour on the chips, 1 bag, or Hershey chocolate bar pieces (I use 6 regular bars) and when it melts spread it around. Let cool and enjoy!!

I didn't know exactly what toffee was. Looked it up.

Almond roca comes close, but homemade is always better!

Cheesecake with fresh strawberry topping - "God, it can never be better - take me now!!!!"

No, mother's Oatmeal Cake (from scratch, natch). Well, maybe her banana pudding. I'm forgetting...the Chocolate Pie. And the Peanut Butter Pie. Aww, hell.

Okay, I cannot narrow it down to a half dozen, much less one.

(separatey) chocolate, and hazelnut Gelato. I bought both to eat together! Yum!

One day if I see chocolate, and pistachio ice creams in the same freezer I might get both.

I actually had to put pistachios back this eve at the supermarket, didn't, quite have enough money on me.

That is all.

Love blondies, too.

I love key lime pie, too, but gotta go with dark chocolate 😋

unfortunately I found them to be to too strong!

Talents has a raspberry, and dark chocolate chip Gelato.

I've wanted to try coffee ice cream. I'd probably get coffee, and chocolate together.

…with M&Ms mixed in is pretty damn delectable.

Marshmallow flavored ice cream with bits of candy cane and chocolate cookie swirl.😍

with nuts, lots of whipped cream, and a cherry on top.

while I love Hot Fudge it melts the ice cream too fast!

Joy of Cooking has a great recipe. But in a pinch, I won't complain if it melts.

just delightful

That & creme brulee are pretty much the same thing.
Creme brulee has sugar put on top & torched while flan is served with a carmel sauce, and flan is a little stiffer, but they are both firm egg custards.
I'm a big fan of both.
Also, the Italian dessert panna cota is similar too, but there is gelatin added to make it even firmer.

simple dark chocolate covered huge juicy fresh strawberries on the stem.

Scallili.

Or southern caramel cake.

Right caramel cake recipe, it’s like heaven. It can be labor intensive so you don’t see a good one often.

My dad used to get off the bus when he was on his way home from work and pick one up from the grocery store. Then he'd catch the next bus home.

He worked as a lobbyists for the trucking industry. One of his friends, a businessman who shipped their frozen food across the country, offered to make us a 'test family' for all the frozen desserts they were developing. Dad said no. We didn't let him forget that betrayal over the years.

People tend to add strawberries or lots of sugar to make it sweeter, but I like the tartness.

and flower bud.

I have heard of rasmalai.

Hmmm... I don't know about rose water as a food ingredient. in the other dessert.

But I'm allowed any flavor. Although most of the time it will be some form of chocolate.

If I'm allowed a combination, because some things just go together, it would be the most incredible chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.

These things don't have any calories in them, correct?

…if I have to pick only one for the rest of my life, it would be Marie Callendar’s Dutch Apple Pie, 20 minutes out of the oven - with Vanilla Bean ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.

Hmmmm...maybe butter pecan ice cream.
Yeah, I think I like that idea! 😄 ty.

mom make me brownies for my birthday instead of a cake.

I think you can buy dulce de leche in a can now... if not, a can of condensed milk in a slow cooker on low for 6-7 hours will do the trick.

Basically, you combine all your brownie mix, swirl in generous spoonsful of dulce de leche and bake!

It's the best thing to ever cross my lips, but it sounds so weird. It's dark choclate, shaped & colored like like a lucious pair of red lips, but with a dark choclate & gin filling. It's to die for, you'd never ever guess it had gin in it, but it makes the chocolate freakishly delicious. I tasted it when in Belgium 12 years ago and ordered boxes of his chocolates that included this one for all the family. It was a crazy expense, I spent more on shipping than the boxes, but it was so worth it for the smiles and groans as my loved ones tried these oh so tasty treats. I kept the pamphlet that came with the box in case I ever have extra $$ and can splurge again.

You would never in a million years know there was one drop of gin in this, no juniper taste at all!

Tyrants, I tell you, tyrants. I'll die before I give up my desserts!

There are others I'm big on like pecan pie or custard pie, but I could probably eat tiramisu every day.

… with butter pecan ice cream. Yum!!!!

Or bread pudding
Jelly rolls
Or pudding
Or anything sweet.🍩🍨🍧🍦🍪🎂🍰🧁🥧🍫🍬🍭🍯🥥

I think my mom made it once, or twice.

Haven’t had since I was a child is homemade coconut cake. You can often find a cake called that. But it’s not the same as homemade when I was a child.
OMG, I could keep going. Because I forgot about bread pudding. But, the way they make bread pudding now is awful. It has to be moist and custard/like. Not too “bready”. . Southerners really do make the best desserts.
