Let me preface by saying I regularly make ganache and when I have guests over I want to impress, I make creme brule with a propane torch from the hardware store (none of those wimpy kitchen kiddie torches)
But as far as I'm concerned there's nothing better than a bowl of chocolate pudding with a dallop of cool whip (ok really a big ole' mound of cool whip, but don't tell anyone, ok).

I think my favorite would be the Kalahari. ;)
I really love Triple Mocha Coffee Crisp & Joseph Schmidt truffles

Best Desert What's your favorite
I've always liked the Sahara as a backdrop for movies, but have heard the Mojave is nice as well...

The classic: NY cheesecake or creme brulee - but it's gotta be homemade.

Graywolf, your initial post is off topic to the subject... ;)
Yeah, I will second Shak's rasmalai - not easy to find.

You really eat that kind of stuff? Pavlova cake? sherry trifle? chocolate mousse? cherry pie?
I thought it was all illegal?
Darn, bang goes my diet!

Where to get "rasmalai"? Any ideas where to get it in Germany? Or is anybody bringing some to Orlando for me? :)

I promise that next time you are in London, I will treat you too some, worst case scenario, I will get my Mum or Sister in law to make some just for you.

Tiramisu is hard to beat- but a late night flourless chocolate cake is my favorite. And there's a place down the street that does a raspberry gooey butter cake that can be a whole meal any time of the day for me.
Bad, bad thread starter- now I'm dreaming of dessert

A slice of NY cheesecake eaten at Furnace Creek in Death Valley is pretty close to heaven (and should satisfy all aspects of this thread!).... :)

Is that like deep fried ice cream? If so that stuff is wicked!

My mom's rice pudding with lots of custard and plump raisins.
My wife's cream puffs.
My daughter's oatmeal cookies with walnuts and raisins, warm out of the oven with a glass of milk.
Hungry?

The only similarity is that it's deep fried, other than that, it isn't much like deep fried ice cream. I've got the recipes for both on one of my websites.
