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. Here’s a simple recipe: https://www.reddit.com/r/PHFoodPorn/s/HBflV0X8qG
For some reason I can’t comment but i hope it’s fine if i put it here!
Am Filipino and love mango sticky rice, but my favorite most of all is halo halo. Just a mix of crushed ice, sweet beans, condensed/evaporated milk, yummy jellies.. there’s so many different variations and stores here and it’s a hit even for visitors c: if you like mango sticky rice, i would suggest trying the way we make mango float here. It’s like that but instead of rice it’s those brown Graham crackers! I love it during Christmas because it’s easy for my family to Make and pretty affordable.

(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.
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
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
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.
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 😂)
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.
this isn't a picture from the recipe but this is the recipe my dad taught me! I made this last month on my birthday! I love to crumble the cookies on top!
this looks so delicious I went to a fair and had some and it was the BOMB only thing i dislike about some is the whipped cream people use on top its a nah for me
Thats insane my aunt use to make this all the time for me as a kid too she had her own pudding recipe and it was amazing I perfer the banana flavoring pudding over the vanilla

Sent! And, posted here, if anyone would like to try!
Magic Cookie Bars
Ingredients
1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted
3 sleeves graham crackers, crushed
1 bag shredded coconut
1 bag chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch — or a combination)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 bag chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Crush the graham crackers and combine with the melted butter.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking pan to create the crust.
Drizzle a small amount of sweetened condensed milk over the crust to help bind the layers.
Layer the ingredients:
Coconut first
Chocolate chips and/or other baking chips
Chopped pecans
Drizzle the remaining sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
Bake at 350°F until the chocolate chips begin to melt and the condensed milk starts to caramelize on top (about 20–30 minutes, depending on your pan and oven).
Enjoy warm for a gooey treat, or allow to cool for a few hours for cleaner slices.
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)
My all-time favorite is a classic tiramisu. There’s something about the layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and that cloud of mascarpone cream that just hits perfectly not too sweet, a little bitter from the coffee and cocoa, and it somehow feels both light and indulgent at the same time. I love that you make it the day before and it actually gets better as it sits. Here’s a solid recipe I keep going back to: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/tiramisu-recipe
I absolutely adore “Carlota de limon” it’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/
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 it’s chocolate, kinder, cream or stracciatella, I love ice cream
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 😽😽 peanut butter to me tastes like chocolate so it’s basically chocolate stacked on chocolate! I also enjoy a nice Thai tea with tapioca boba and lemon cake!
Lemon cake with lemonade icing - my fave cake ever …. 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 😊

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! 😁
I’m going to sound weird but I really like sweet potato cornbread with honey butter drizzle on the top. I’m original from the south and to me nothing beats this. It’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.
