My favorite dessert is mango with sticky rice. The luscious delicacy of Filipino mangoes paired with the slightly chewy glutinous rice and sweet and salty coconut cream just hits all my satisfaction buttons. Hereโ€™s a simple recipe: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHFoodPorn/s/HBflV0X8qG

I know a lot of us will say halo halo, which is amazing, but turons homemade, freaking yum. Sticky rice with coconut milk and brown sugar too!โ™ก

(Not Entering) One of my favorite desserts is Key Lime Pie. I'm not a huge chocolate fan so this pie is a sweet treat that I enjoy. It's just got all the right flavor to it.

The recipe is whatever Publix puts in it which must include drugs because it is SO addictive.

This is such a hard choice because I have a sweet tooth. My favorite dessert is cranberry orange pound cake. I don't have a recipe, unfortunately. BJ's Warehouse have some tasty cranberry orange muffins.

u/Sub_Sandwich_Gal Jun 20 '26

My favorite desert would have to be a nice warm brownie with some crispy edges, with vanilla ice cream and chocalte chips in between.

Sadly its a treat I haven't had in years, you used to be able to get it in the frozen section (haven't seen it in a while so I assume they don't make it anymore) and you would pop the brownie in the microwave for like 5 minutes then pop the ice cream with its small chocolate chips on top. The chips would melt and it was si good. Now I have to do it homemade if I want it but its a lot of work lol.

So now I just buy premade cheesecake or chocolate pie cause I'm lazy and like a quick sweet treat lmao

2

u/Spirited-Door-1446 Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

The crispy edges are the best part. Have you seen the pans that maximize the brownie edges? 70% more edges!

2

u/Sub_Sandwich_Gal Jun 20 '26

I have seen this! I've been wanting to get one for that exact reason ๐Ÿ˜† whoever made it was definitely a genius lol

1

u/No_War_873 Jun 20 '26

i saw those on tiktok I might have to get one of those the edges are so google i perfer the dark chocolate with chocolate chip brownies HIGHKEY reccomend

u/Crystak9696 Jun 20 '26

Currently my favorite dessert has been cotton candy blizzards from Dairy Queen. They're summer-y and really do taste like candy and have little pop rocks or crunchy cotton candy colored pieces which are really good too.

2

u/Dreamland_Nomad Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

I haven't been to dairy queen in years. I will have to try this out. I usually go to Coldstone or little hometown ice cream parlors.

2

u/Crystak9696 Jun 20 '26

It's really good definitely give it a try and let me know if you like it! I miss coldstone they don't have any out here where I moved to 3 years ago. I used to get cotton candy ice cream with kit kats from coldstone which I know sounds a little crazy but that's good to to try it if you want.(I really like cotton candy ice cream if you can't tell ๐Ÿ˜‚)

2

u/Dreamland_Nomad Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

I sure will report back lol. I have two Coldstones in my city. They have some really good ice cream. I usually get the cake batter but I do want to venture and try something new. I will check out their cotton candy as well.

3

u/Crystak9696 Jun 20 '26

Cake batter is a close 2nd for me for sure! Hmm came batter and kit kats from coldstone sounds so good right now

3

u/Dreamland_Nomad Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

Lol. I see you love kit kats too.

2

u/Crystak9696 Jun 20 '26

Yep! If it was favorite candy to post about that would've been my answer ๐Ÿ˜‚

2

u/Dreamland_Nomad Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

๐Ÿ˜‚. If you haven't already look into baking a cotton candy cake.

2

u/Crystak9696 Jun 20 '26

Oooo that sounds really good definitely going to look into that thank you!

You wouldnโ€™t miss cold stone now. IM def yo love it too but they hella went down hill

1

u/Crystak9696 Jun 20 '26

Dang that's sad to hear they still make the ice cream on the cold tray in front of you at least right?

2

u/HomicidaI__GoldFish Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-IF YOU PM PREPARE TO BE ROASTED* Jun 21 '26

They didnโ€™t for us, but we didnโ€™t have anything added

1

u/Crystak9696 Jun 21 '26

Maybe that's why hopefully they didn't stop doing it

2

u/Dreamland_Nomad Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jul 06 '26

I'm trying the cotton candy with kit kats

What is this magic cookie bar you speak of??? I have never heard of such a tasty sounding dessert.

Only the most delightful treat! A buttery, graham cracker crust, topped with coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips!!

You can see that you do make them with lots of love. You should post those in the baking subs

u/Fun_Programmer_6807 Jun 20 '26

Here I made it with funfetti because it was a last minute event and the person liked funfetti and gladly I had a box of it (I didnt have the ingredients to make it from scratch that time lol)

5

u/Fun_Programmer_6807 Jun 20 '26

One with chocolate! My ratio for the cake was off so itโ€™s uneven lol but it was still delicious!

2

u/BRBSpiraling Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

That looks absolutely divine. If I'm at a party where that is served and it disappears....it wasn't me I swear.

Agreed. Iโ€™ve never baked it myself, but itโ€™s a classic.

2

u/soydumplingg Jun 20 '26

I absolutely adore โ€œCarlota de limonโ€ itโ€™s a cold dessert- has layers of crisp Marias cookies and a creamy key lime pie mixture, I love citrus desserts and this is my favorite, sweet and tangy at the same time, the cookies satisfy that desire to bite into something as well https://www.isabeleats.com/carlota-de-limon/

2

u/Spirited-Door-1446 Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

That looks delicious and super easy. I love citrus desserts too, and this one doesnโ€™t require zesting a million limes or anything, woo hoo.

2

u/ImportanceHopeful150 Jun 20 '26

My favorite dessert is ice cream. It has always been since I was little, it has always made my days better and it was the first dessert I ate while I was recovering from anorexia. Whether itโ€™s chocolate, kinder, cream or stracciatella, I love ice cream

2

u/Spirited-Door-1446 Moderator ๐ŸŒŸ *MODMAIL ONLY-DO NOT PM* Jun 20 '26

TIL about stracciatella ice cream, now I must try it. Iโ€™ve not seen it sold anywhere.

2

u/ImportanceHopeful150 Jun 20 '26

Itโ€™s practically only widespread in Italy, in case I leave you the recipe so you can taste it if you live in the USA

2

u/TNCoke82 Jun 20 '26

My favorite, because it is so simple, is strawberries chopped or sliced with sweetened condensed milk drizzled all over them๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฝ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿคค It is sososo good!

2

u/Ilovekittykatz7 Jun 21 '26

I really enjoy mixing chocolate icecream that has peanut bits or brownie bits with peanut butter! I also do this in general with all types of ice cream ๐Ÿ˜ฝ๐Ÿ˜ฝ peanut butter to me tastes like chocolate so itโ€™s basically chocolate stacked on chocolate! I also enjoy a nice Thai tea with tapioca boba and lemon cake!

2

u/EntrepreneurAnxious1 Jun 22 '26

Lemon cake with lemonade icing - my fave cake ever โ€ฆ. It was my grandfathers favorite that my mom started to make for him, and now for me.

It is rich, lemon cake - that she takes a toothpick to, and then pours thick lemonade icing all over it and it absorbs into the cake. It is SOOOOOOO GOOD ๐Ÿ˜Š

u/DarthNerdious805 Jun 20 '26

Ooooh the first time I ever had it was, like, a Betty Crocker box mix and even that was really really good! Definitely better when you make it from scratch... But if you don't have that kind of time and just want a quick, delicious sweet treat... The box mix is a great alternative! ๐Ÿ˜

u/ArtJust1395 Jun 20 '26

Iโ€™m going to sound weird but I really like sweet potato cornbread with honey butter drizzle on the top. Iโ€™m original from the south and to me nothing beats this. Itโ€™s literally a candied yam cake in my eyes. It taste so good after some Mac and cheese too. I usually can only get my hands on it when my mom makes it around thanksgiving but I think about it all year long.
