[hellbound-liberal]

1. Bananas Foster, prepared tableside of course!

[begin_within]

4. ooooooohhhhh.... I had that once, at Brennan's in New Orleans, in 1977.

I never forgot it.... a melted mess of heaven in a bowl.

[Joe Fields]

35. Great minds think alike. There is nothing more satisfying for dessert.

Back when I had money, I used to eat once or twice a month at a restaurant in K.C. that did the tableside bananas foster. I remember one time, the manager, who knew me asked the waiter to step aside. He wanted to impress me with his banana's foster skills. He put too much liquer in the pan, and when it flamed, his eyebrows were no longer there. I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing.

6. Italian Cream Cake

[crim son]

18. That looks fantastic

and like something I could make. What's in it? Is it officially called "Italian Cream Cake"?

[Nicole]

25. It taste better than it looks even!

It is actually named Italian Cream Cake. My MIL made me one 30 years ago for my b-day & it instantly became my favorite cake of all time.

I'm too lazy to type out her recipe when I can google it. :P


INGREDIENTS:

* 1 stick margarine, (4 ounces)
* 2 cups flour
* 2 cups sugar
* 1 cup buttermilk
* 1 small can flaked coconut
* 5 egg whites, stiffly beaten
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 5 egg yolks
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 cup chopped pecans, or walnuts


* Frosting:
* 1 package cream cheese, softened (8oz)
* 1 box confectioners' sugar, (1 pound)
* 1/2 stick margarine, softened (4 Tbs)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla

PREPARATION:
Cream margarine and shortening; add sugar. Add egg yolks and beat well. Combine soda and flour; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in vanilla. Add coconut and nuts. Fold in egg whites.
Pour into 3 greased and floured cake pans; bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

Frosting: Beat cream cheese until smooth; stir in sugar. Add vanilla and beat until smooth. Spread on cake layers; sprinkle top with chopped nuts.

This one is very close to her's, with these changes:
She never uses magarine or walnuts in her's, pecans & real butter only. She uses 1 cup of flaked coconut from bags, not canned. She also slightly toasts the pecans. That recipe doesn't show it but you need another cup of pecans for the frosting.

[crim son]

27. You ROCK!

I'll use your MIL's recipe because I like the changes. Thank you so much for the recipe! :yourock:

[Nicole]

28. Let me know if you like it.

You're welcome. :)

[mcscajun]

9. The one on my plate.

Life is Uncertain; Eat Dessert First!

[LeftyFingerPop]

10. Boston Creme Pie, or...

chocolate cake with a cup of coffee.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Creme brulee!!!

[crim son]

19. Me too, SeattleGirl!

Almost any variety of cheesecake comes second, but I LOVE creme brulee.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Cheesecake is my second fav also.

MrSG is a very good cook/baker, so I bought him a kitchen torch so he could make creme brulee for me. His is very good!

[crim son]

23. You're lucky to have MrSG.

If I want dessert, I have to make it myself! :(

[Bjornsdotter]

32. I love creme brulee

...it's the best!

Cheers

[MissMillie]

38. yep... either that or

strawberry shortcake

(made w/ a buttermilk biscuit and only REAL WHIPPED CREAM)

[Tektonik]

12. A plain cheesecake or

anything w/ chocolate in it

[Richard Steele]

15. I'll second that!

A really good cheesecake doesn't need any extra stuff on it or in it.

And if there's no cheesecake, I go for whatever has the chocolate!

[rug]

13. Twinkies

[amitten]

36. That many? n/t

[AggieGal]

39. Banana Creme Twinkies are back

[bertha katzenengel]

14. chocolate cake, with milk

:9

[av8rdave]

16. Same here!

Although I wouldn't turn down cookies and cream ice cream either.

Sinple pleasues

[femmocrat]

17. Freshly baked apple pie, still warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.....

OMG! Heaven!

[pagerbear]

21. All of them

That pecan pie is looking awfully good, though!

[Lethe]

22. there's only two desserts I will eat:

1. homemade blackberry cobbler

2. key lime pie



my grandma's blackberry cobblers were the best damn thing i ever ate in my life. If somehow a chef could somehow combine blackberry cobbler and key lime pie I would totally just never eat anything else.

:P

edit: besides pizza!

[Awsi Dooger]

24. Banana Split, Key Lime Pie, Pumpkin Pie

I also love frozen yogurt, much more than ice cream. I eat huge portions and ice cream gives me a headache, plus a feeling I did something bad to my system. With frozen yogurt there's a creamy taste and no headache or guilt.

[MassLiberal]

26. ICE CREAM

There is no other dessert. :loveya:

[LaraMN]

29. Cheesecake with loads of cherries!

:9

[BreweryYardRat]

30. Almost anything.

[Kali]

33. pie

hot OR cold

[KitchenWitch]

34. Coconut Flan!

[MonkeyFunk]

37. Banana Cream Pie

[malta blue]

40. Chocolate....anything with chocolate

Although the local farm stand makes an AMAZING blueberry pie - I usually detest blueberry pie but this one is to die for....I can't figure out what they do to it.

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Key Lime Pie

good thing we don't have it in Germany, even though I can make it myself. Otherwise I would be more wide than long by now ....

[nosillies]

42. Southern Maid donuts and apple crumble

On a really bad day, I have been known to eat both at the same time.

Ain't she cute?



With a waistline like that she must not eat too many of her donuts.

[EstimatedProphet]

43. Black Forest torte

[raccoon]

44. Homemade caramel cake.

Haven't had it in years.... :cry:

[smtpgirl]

45. Cheesecake

UMMMMM

[racaulk]

46. Tiramisu!!!

Although, I will admit that quite a tasty looking slice of lemon meringue pie!

I have such a sweet tooth! :drool:

[dropkickpa]

47. Strawberry Shortcake

I usually make it with indecent amounts of strawberries. My mouth is watering just thinking of it!!
