Yes, well something I never understood. You don’t have room for desserts and that’s where you can charge the max to your customers! I always ask half portions when I go there haha

Triple chocolate mousse cake. This dessert is on a whole different level for me, I taste different in each layer and it's amazing for me.Scones, with clotted cream and jam
Apparantly no one makes Clotted Cream for sale in the USA. I managed to find a scone mix at the local grocery, Kroger bran. Don’t scold me for not making it from scratch! 😜 Then I eagerly opened the clotted cream, imported from England, sold via Amazon and my taste buds were devastated when the bottle was opened and it was hard and chunky, spoiled. 😭 Of possible interest when I filed a refund, the item was listed as non-returnable. We’ll see about that I muttered as I started a chat with Amazon’s customer service bot. No problem it said in it’s computer voice, you are a valued customer, Instant Refund!! 🕺
So what now?
I found another seller with over night Prime Delivery, so I am giving this item one more chance online, otherwise it’s a 35 mile drive one way downtown to the British Isles (store) but it’s best to call ahead and make sure they have it in stock.
Stay tuned!!
When I was you young, on a trip to Hershey, PA, I stumbled across the Hershey Bakery that had giant chocolate eclairs. I was in love and that was back in the day when I could get away with eating a whole one, those where the days as a runner, where I consume at will! 
Then later having grown up in the DC/Maryland suburbs, my Mom had discovered Walls Bakery, in Waldorf, Md which also had giant chocolate eclairs. So when we went to visit here, we’d make the 18 mile one way drive to get eclairs. When living in Minnesota I substituted with chocolate Bismarks, and in Houston, what are called Bavarians, glazed filled pastries, custard filled, minus the chocolate top.
Of extreme importance was the filling, it has to be a vanilla custard or pudding, not whipped cream. 😛

I feel the pounds of carbohydrates attaching themselves to my midriff as I read this thread.
My usual desert is two squares of Lindt 78% Pure chocolate.

Cherry tarts, apricot tarts, peach tarts, raspberry tarts......these will all find a warm welcome on my plate.
I am a huge fan of fruit pies, cherry, blueberry, raspberry?, strawberry, apple. There was a restaurant (Baker’s Square) we used to frequent, that has since closed that specialized in a wide variety of pies. They had a 3 berry pie that I used to salivate over. As a child I remember mulberry pies and cans of mulberry pie filling
Of interest, I no longer see mulberries for sale, but we have a mulberry tree out front that when consumed by birds results in delightful purple adornments all over our cars. 😬I remember reading that some cities had basically outlawed mulberry trees for this reason, although I’m not sure how you outlaw a tree. 🤔
Rather than fruit pies (which I quite like), I prefer the classic "French" style "open" fruit tart, sometimes, with a creme anglaise (a sort of custard) beneath.
Mind you, my mother made amazing apple tarts, (of the "covered" variety, - which probably meant that they more resembled an American "pie" dish, invariably prepared with cooking apples which imparted a wonderful tart flavour), and rhubarb tart, (yum), and, on rare occasions when I was a child, we even had her stunning cherry tarts. She also made gooseberry & apple tarts occasionally (she loved gooseberries).

Do you guys know Café Liégeois? It’s one of my favourite ice-cream
![B72A9AB3-CA7E-46D1-8FC3-AD6731E4BDFE.jpeg]( "B72A9AB3-CA7E-46D1-8FC3-AD6731E4BDFE.jpeg")
No, I have never heard of, let alone encountered, this treat.
Do, please describe it for us, and let us know more about it (constituent ingredients, taste, region where one can find it, or region where it is considered a specialty, etc)....
Oh yes. First it’s delicious. It’s basically 2 cup of coffee ice-cream, whipped cream and coffee syrup. With sliced almonds it’s magical. They do also with chocolate.
They explained better here and I actually learned some stuff about it!

Specifically the name about café viennois which bécanes liégeoise, fascinating!

Very interesting, and, as you so rightly say, the story behind the change of name is fascinating.Oh yes. First it’s delicious. It’s basically 2 cup of coffee ice-cream, whipped cream and coffee syrup. With sliced almonds it’s magical. They do also with chocolate.

This sounds a little like, (or similar to) an affogato, which I have had, and enjoyed, as a rare treat.
I love rhubarb and miss not being able to grow my own (too hot here).

Oh how I love these. I know it isn't up to the same standard of these, but the Dunkin' Donuts Boston Kreme Donut to me is freaking delicious!
Peach cobblers or strawberry & pumpkin pies would find warm on my table.
While I like rhubarb (a lot), my mother absolutely adored it, and thus, rhubarb found its way into quite a few fifferent desserts when we were kids and teenagers.I love rhubarb and miss not being able to grow my own (too hot here).
She also adored gooseberries.
Likewise.

Those look almost too good to eat.
Almost.
No, I guess I'm not fooling anyone.
I'd scarf down every one of them in a flash.
I have so many favorite desserts I don’t think I’d even be able to do a top ten list. But I had a mille crêpe tonight.😋

I keep walking by the rack of pies at the grocery store, hesitate at the pecan pies, read the label to note calories per slice, and then grab a blueberry pie which is not much better, lol.
I would have to take a bite to know for sure.

in case you wonder, I added more chocolate after this picture was taken. 🤗

Agree I like crumb or tart. I don't like pies with dough tops
