Tiramisu Ice Cream!!! That's gotta be the coolest invention

Newbie, girlie, when are we gonna go to Cheesecake?!!! We have to go to Union Square when I come back to S.F. for Memorial Day!!! You know that it's gonna be a shop-till-you-drop day and then we top it off by going to the best restaurant in the world.

Ok they're not really a dessert but Starbuck's frappucinos rock my world!!! I like the mocha best!

[bubbles17]

Turtlegirl, I love the frappuchinos! They rock!

Otherwise, I love Strawberry Ice Cream.

But I'm more of a "salty" girl than a "sweets" one. I love pretzels, chex mix, chips n'dip, and most of all ITALIAN food!

-Creme Brulee (had a bite of blueberry one today that was the BOMB!

Thought of some more....LOL.

My stepmom's peach cobbler...it's the best when right out of the oven. My mom's pound cake...especially when it's topped with fresh Louisiana strawberries. Oh...and I don't think you would technically call this a dessert but they're sweet and they're really good!!! BEIGNETS...for everybody that's never heard of them...they're basically cajun donuts. Only exceptions are that they are square and have no hole...they're kinda shaped like sopapillas. You top them with powdered sugar!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMM

OOOH, Allison, how about Krispy Kremes!!!! We here in SF don't have Beignets.

[TigerGirl]

Newbie...I have to say that I love just plain donuts too. Especially just the plain glazed donuts when they're fresh!!!!!! Beignets are the best especially when you get them at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans.

I'm part Filipino, and my mom is full, and she makes the best banana lumpia. It's basically just banana and brown sugar in eggroll wrappers deep fried to a crisp. I've heard people call them plantanos or plantains. Whatever the name is...it's darn good! Add vanilla ice cream to it and it's even better!!!

Some of my other favorites are flan, regular mochi and butter mochi, and anything from Dunkin Donuts--the chain came back to the islands after a 7 year absence!!!

Glad you asked! It's an Asian Indian sweet. There's a good description at this website.

The best way I can describe it is through its texture. It is most like a pancake with syrup - it has the soft cake-iness of the pancake (though it's a sphere, not flat), and it's dripping with syrup (sugar-based, not maple).
