Chocoholics - what other desserts do you like when you can't get it, or want a change....

[electric_blue68]

🤔
There's a chocolate (great chocolate chips, brownies) plus other desserts place I have get back to that has a ?
•lemon bar. Very"bright" tasting.
•Pecan pie
There was a small pie company that made a
•sour cream apple walnut pie

I wish I liked key limes (although it's been?20+ yrs) bc I love lime juice- but found key lime pie too strong.

What about you?
(luckily I have a Mocha Frappachino in the fridge ready to go 😄🥰 )

1. Apple pie! Apple fritters! Apple Turnovers! Anything with Apples! When I was a kid a fave was something Mom fixed

for us ... slices of Sara Lee pound cake slathered with Apple jelly! So simple but Yum! Still love it!

[electric_blue68]

2. Oh, apole jelly! Apple fritters sound yumny!

I wonder how apple jelly would go on certain cheeses on crackers, or crusty roll!

[catbyte]

3. Key Lime pie

I love the tart/sweet combination.

[Marie Marie]

4. Cinnamon Buns - Preferably Cinabon.

Warm and gooey.

[electric_blue68]

5. TY. Particular street carts had a slightly sugared, not gooey, and mildly cinnamon bun.

Liked those. 🙂 👍

[KitFox]

6. Craving dessert now from reading these posts!😁. I love a big caramel sundae with toasted pecans; a bowl of half vanilla

half orange sherbet to remind me of being a kid eating creamsicles; or maybe big maple bar from the local bakery. I really would love to try that sour cream apple walnut pie you mentioned!

[electric_blue68]

12. The carmel sundae sounds fun. Like your creamsicle reminder- clever

Oh, I forgot about maple!
I've had maple candy from Vetmont! Very tasty!
And probably a maple donut when the first Tim Hortins opened in Manhattan.

[sestina]

7. Carrot cake

or snickerdoodle cookies.

[electric_blue68]

13. Carrot cake is quite tasty!

[nuxvomica]

8. Blueberry pie

So decadent, indulgent, to be lost in the deep blue.

[electric_blue68]

21. Cooked blueberries are a pretty color!

Pie is probably too strong for me taste wise, I do like them in pancakes.

[Figarosmom]

9. Donuts and churros...🍩...nt

[electric_blue68]

14. Never has a churro, but who doesn't love some kind of doughnut!

[Jeebo]

10. Doughnuts -- but only if they're Krispy Kremes.

If Krispy Kreme doughnuts are not available, I'll go with banana pudding. Or, lemon cake. Or, peach cobbler.

— Ron

[electric_blue68]

15. Only Krispy Kreme? You're a tough customer! 😄

The others are tasty, yoo.

[Jeebo]

50. If they're not Krispy Kremes, they're not doughnuts, by definition.

But I really like those other non-chocolate desserts I mentioned, too. I had some banana pudding yesterday at Golden Corral. It was heavenly!

— Ron

[electric_blue68]

51. I'd be expecting people to really like the other desserts, too, otherwise....

why have them instead of chocolate whatever! 👍

[mwmisses4289]

11. Palmiers, no egg versions of creme brulee (la madeline has a couple of good ones),

mug cakes, some ice cream.

[electric_blue68]

17. Looked up, never had a Palmiers. Know the other name for it.

And I just looked up how to make a chocolate mug cake. Yum! 😄

[mwmisses4289]

38. What other name?

And I love mug cakes, because portion control and you can make them to cater to you allergies and the best part is they take maybe 10 minutes, tops, to make.

[electric_blue68]

41. Elephant ears, or pig's ears....

Think I've heard "lephants ears".

[mwmisses4289]

58. Oh. 😀

I guess they do kinda look like elephants ears, don't they?

[justaprogressive]

16. When I can't get chocolate

I buy Almond Horns
or
a Lemon Meringue pie

[electric_blue68]

18. Lemon Meringue pie sounds good!

[justaprogressive]

19. It was!

We'll have some more pie tonight

[electric_blue68]

20. Enjoy! 🍋🥧

[malaise]

22. Coffee Ice-cream

Or fresh fruit

[electric_blue68]

23. I'd orobably add some dark chocolate chunks to the coffee ice cream!...

Have had particularly nice plums this summer. 👍
Fresh peaches are my most favorite, red grapes, watermelon, winesap apples (yeah, they have a faint wine taste), are my other favorites.
And I love lime juice.

And while it only has very mild taste...I love the shape of the star fruit!

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Ben & Jerry have that exact combination on shelves.

I have one in the freezer right now.

[electric_blue68]

27. Oooo. Will keep an eye out. Not in my walkable supermarket for sure.

[no_hypocrisy]

30. It's called Coffee, Coffee, BuzzBuzzBuzz.

[elleng]

33. YES YES YES!

MAY have 2 pints in the fridge now.

[malaise]

36. Might have to find that

😀

[elleng]

54. Finished one of the two a few hours ago!

[malaise]

56. Sweet

😀

[electric_blue68]

37. Ahhh, yeah! I forgot it had fudge chunks, too...

thought it was "just" coffee.

Should find it in a bigger supermarket.👍

[malaise]

28. My fruit of choice

Golden apples, ortaniques (best citrus on earth), tangerines, water melon, bananas.
I also love coconut water and the jelly.
Coconut ice- cream is also delish. Coffee and coconut ice-cream with chopped walnuts or crushed shortbread biscuits - hmmmmm good.😀

[electric_blue68]

42. I looked up the ortaniques. New to me...

Like tangerines. The Google answer mentioned mandarin oranges - i really like those!

Haven't tried coconut water in a long time - didn't really care for it back then, but plentiful in some Hispanic nabes.
Love coconut though! Probably like coconut ice cream. My mom and I used to get them, put them in oven and crack them open. Tasty!
A just ripened banana is good, will eat them somewhat past that.
Golden apples? The only one I know of are "golden delicious", they tend to be too soft for me.

[malaise]

35. I love limeade

I actually buy limes when they’re plentiful, squeeze them, freeze the juice in ice trays and then throw in plastic containers for when they’re plentiful are scarce.
Three drinks are always available here - water, chilled coconut water and chilled limeade with brown sugar or molasses. 😀

[electric_blue68]

39. Planning ahead!

We have a "Simpley _______" bottled single juice brand; including watermelon, *lime*, ?peach, etc. Maybe a few mixed ones as well.
I should go look on line, and see what they offer currently, since they are not in my close market.

[CTyankee]

24. Anything with cherries; pie, ice cream,, etc. I love their sweet taste!

[electric_blue68]

25. Enjoy. My mom loved Cherry Garcia ice cream

[Diamond_Dog]

29. I can't think of any dessert I would turn away.

[electric_blue68]

43. 😄👍

[pandr32]

31. Cheesecake.

Really good ones with a velvet smooth texture and a hint of lemon zest , or fruit.

[malaise]

34. I may be the only person on the planet who detests cheesecake

😀

[pandr32]

59. We all have our hits and misses.

I knew a kid that hated ice cream--unfathomable to a kid like me at the time, but now I get it. Sometimes it is about textures as well as taste.
If you came to my house I would serve you something else!

[malaise]

60. Love it

😀

[electric_blue68]

44. Ahhh, cheese cake. Very nice!

[elleng]

32. Ice cream,

in particular those with good good coffee.

[Attilatheblond]

40. Apple and green chili pie in crust with cheddar

It is to die for

[electric_blue68]

45. Probably too hot for me! Enjoy!

[Attilatheblond]

48. No, very mild, not hot at all, just a very rich flavor

[electric_blue68]

49. Maaaybe. One person's mild is another's a bit too hot

🙂

[Runningdawg]

46. Tres Leche, bread pudding, berry cobbler

[electric_blue68]

47. I may have had chocolate bread pudding

[BigMin28]

52. Cherry pie

or cobbler. Homemade coconut cream pie. I'm not sure it is a dessert, but sour cream coffee cake.

[electric_blue68]

53. Not sure U've ever had a homemade coconut cream pie....

I see why sour cream coffee cake couldn't be a dessert. 👍

[madamesilverspurs]

55. Lemonade pie

Pure sweet decadence. No baking, but I only make it for events, too dangerous to keep in my fridge! Ymmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............


.

[Dem2theMax]

57. Why waste the calories on anything else?

Let me see. . .
Hot fudge sundae, oh, wait.
Mud pie, oh, wait.
Magic cookie bars, oh, wait.

All right, seriously, a really great apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top.

Cheesecake. (But I always put chocolate on top of it.)

Most of all, I wish I had my grandmother's recipe for her coconut cake. She took every recipe with her when she passed away. I don't think she ever had anything written down.

I would also kill for her peanut butter/coconut cookies.
I have no idea how she made them, but to this day I crave them. She died when I was 14, and I'm 69.
I can still taste those cookies.

When she died, I wanted one thing of hers.
Her cookie jar. I still have it. 💙🩵💙🩵
