    This thread is most definitely not good for me. I don't need additional reasons to think about dessert. :wink: yet here I am. Ben and Jerry's best IMO would be Cherry Garcia. Absolutely one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life is the flourless macadamia nut brownie with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and raspberry sauce from Bonefish Grill. Unbelievable!!

    Speaking of Ben & Jerry's and caramel and chocolate...
    Did you see the recipe for the Karamel Sutra Cupcakes? ***drool***
    http://cookiesandcups.com/karamel-sutra-cupcakes-chocolate-and-caramel-swirl-cupcakes/
    I may have to make these... but mine surely will not look as nice.


    I recently made Chocolate Strawberry Nutella Cake, and will deffinately be making it again. It was so good!!

    I put mine in a trifle bowl, because it was for a picnic/birthday, and I wanted to put it together in advance, and not risk the thing toppling over. I just used a box cake instead of making it from scratch as the recipe says, because Im lazy, and had a bunch of other stuff to do for the party, but I did make the whipped cream from scratch, which was easy.


    That looks amazing!!!

    Liz, if you haven't already tasted it, try the old - simple and healthy - good dessert: Greek yogurt with honey. :P

    And aaaaaah! Thanks for that link, afro. I think I gotta try the chocolate truffle pie :shock:

    I made the mistake of checking out the cake section of that website :fp:

    I might have to make this:

    While definitely delicious, Greek yogurt with anything is entirely too healthy in my book to be considered a dessert :D Probably the best thing I know how to cook is fillo pastry layered with butter and then filled with this amazing cream cheese/ricotta cheese yumminess baked until golden brown. The filling turns into a light cheesecake. After it is baked a simple syrup is drizzled over the top. :crazy: Don't know what to call this in English except really unhealthy and delicious! Of course, traditional baklava is always good too... These are special desserts and reserved for very special occasions in our house.

    I don't know. It's still summer. You've gotta go for the s'mores, right?

    I shared the s'mores pie recipe with the baker in the family, and I'm hoping that she whips that up for us while we're on the Cape next week.

    They are both delicious (revani and baklavas), especially when they are accompanied with one or two balls of ice-cream. FYI, they're more like traditional Turkish desserts than Greek, but of course you can have them in Greece too.

    That's not the same that I make though it also looks delicious. That looks like what we call "Basboosa" which is like a semolina cake with a simple syrup. It's more Turkish/Egyptian/Moroccan I think too. My dessert is similar to something called "goolash" in Arabic but I've modified the recipe a bit so it's not really that either. :lol: I just know it's good and I can only eat a small sliver of it.

    That recipe sounds fantabulous. I love the idea of putting it in a trifle bowl. The presentation is great but it's still convenient.

    Why did I click on this thread? I'm gaining weight just looking at it.
