What is your favorite dessert for the Holidays or at anytime?

With a large Italian family (both sets of grandparents off the boat) desserts after meals on the holidays are quite a spectacle. And there has to be enough, you see, to feed a small village. Therefore, without question, the Italian pies collection for Easter just have to be my favorite. Wheat pies, rice pies, cream pies, and ricotta pies line the central nave of the dinning tables flanked by 2 dessert dishes per person. That's bc you use one plate for your pie tastings and a second for the other smorgasbord of sweet concoctions hidden among the glorious cherry and latice-topped pies. Mmmmmm I like the ricotta the best:p

Best part is juding who made the best pie for the year as, of course, multiple family members must compete with one another serving their prized selection of pies for the feast.

I've never won:mad:

For Thanksgiving, 12 of us family plus a guest from Spain will enjoy Mrs. Kibitzer's homemade Kahlua ice cream, maybe with a touch of Stonewall Kitchen's Dulce de Leche topping.:)

I make a chocolate pecan pie with Kahlua whipped cream. It's decadent!
 
Sweet Potato Pie

my own apple thingy. Totally decade nt: 2 different kinds of apples. One to make a special Calvados applesauce. Calvados is apple brandy. The second type of apple is used as filling The layers are composed of croissants. The applesauce goes on the first layer of cut croissants. The second layer is moistened with heavy cream then topped with apple slices, crystalized ginger, turbinado sugar, and cinnamon,almost forgot the calvados. This is covered with another layer of mini croissants moistened with calvados. This is baked fot 40 minutes in a 425 oven. then removed and topped with the best aged sharp cheddar you can find Back in the oven for 15 minutes. Cool but serve warm to hot. You can top it with ice cream or a special apple whipped cream. This re-heats really well.

My intent was to combine bread pudding and apple pie cook the item in a single dish which is easy to serve and re-heat. With minor modifications you can expand this to cook in sheet pans.
I've done it for a hundred.

I'm convinced that if you take a 100 aliens, either intercontinental or interplanetary, who have never had pumpkin or sweet potato pie, and sat them in front of a slice of both, 90% would choose sweet potato. No electoral college needed.

Blueberry pie. Single crust, bottom half with cooked filling, top half with fresh(lemon juice and sugared). Top crust is thick layer of homemade whipped cream.
 
My wife's chocolate mousse. Never had better anywhere.

Can we arrange orders for full pies via the Boneyard?? :)

Pumpkin pie works for my number 1, of course I don't get it that often. I do like a lot of other fruit pies.

I like pastry stuff - again, I don't get it regularly although a local Mexican bakery has some tasty items. Think Elephant Ears, angel wings, etc.

In a restaurant, I rarely get desert - but a Chocolate Molten Pie tempts me. Had a great one the other day.
 
Being a New Englander at heart I am almost certain it is Peach cobbler. Except when I am having a peach crisp. Hard to beat a great peach buckle, though. And a peach slump turns me upside down, until my next peach grunt. My sister's peach crumble is only rivalled by my other sister's peach pandowny. And good heavens do I remember when I had Peach Betty! Decisions, decisions.

Man I know a fetish when I see one, and you got it bad for peaches. You wouldn't perhaps live in a peach house with peach colored walls, dress your children in peach with a peach tree in the back yard would you? It's an honest question.
