Ah...a serious topic! XD
My favorite restaurant has a light lemony cheesecake that is near to my heart.
In the summertime, I enjoy these cherry-mango flavored ice pops.
For the most part, I have to stay away from them all as much as possible and I used to be addicted to ice cream so now only on rare occasions will I get a box of Hagen-Dazs treats (3 per box).
Impossipudding. Ate some today, and it was just amazing.
Strawberry cheesecake. 'Nuff said.
Indeed.
Well spotted.
Sahara Dessert for me . . .
Oh wait . . . tiramasalu (posh trifle, Italian style) . . . or maybe . . .
Barfi (indian sweets) . . . no wait . . . 'death through chocolate' gateaux.
no I have it . . . Rass Mali (indian cheesecake) . . . no I changed my mind . . .
. . . I am off to invent 'health cake' . . . to alleviate guilt and suffering . . .

Never heard of it...is it anything like chocolate mousse?

Nope.
Want the recipe...?
Ice cream and then more ice cream, at least 2 litres...
Chocolate mousse or panna cotta.
Cannot eat ice cream unless the temperature hits 30degrees C and I'm in Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy, eating world-class, prize-winning gelato!

Oh, yes! Ice cream in Italy is the only ice cream I'll eat.
Straciatella.
Bucketfuls!
Goody goody gumdrops ice cream from NZ is pretty awesome!
Agreed. 'Nuff said
You sure know what to say!!!!!
@DhammaDragon .....I had to look up panna cotta.....never heard of it.....Fancy Schmancy!!!! It looks delicious and rich......I'll have to find an Italian spot around here and try some.....I'll report back on my findings...

Helloooooooo, sugar rush!
Well...not if it's as complicated as the pickles one!
Quite partial to the New York style cheesecake they sell at the Coop on the corner of my street.
Apparently it's very easy to make, @Vastmind, but since I'm not the best of cooks, I prefer to buy it.

It's easy-peasy lemon-squeezy!!
For the benefit of everyone who might like to give this a go:
8oz caster sugar
3oz self-raising flour
4oz dessicated coconut
2tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp salt
sprinkle of cinnamon powder
4oz butter, softened, diced
4 eggs
16 fl.oz milk.
pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees c, gas mark 4.
put all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
Add the diced butter and work it in until you get a breadcrumb consistency.
(I use one of these boys, it really works well. It's called a pastry blender, and I recommend it....
mix the eggs with the milk, and pour into the dry-ingredients mix.
blend well with a whisk, and pour the whole lot into well-greased 2-pint pyrex casserole dish.
it will be a lot more fluid than you'd expect, but this is perfectly ok....
place in the oven for an hour, or until the top has risen and browned.
All the ingredients will have separated, to form a coconut sponge-cake top, with a firm custard underneath.
serve with pouring cream.
Cold Stone icecream in a waffle cone drenched in macadamia nuts and caramel.
One my fave Nepalese esteries has a dessert that's bannanas, yogurt and cinnamon. Can't get enough.
Help!
Yup, after that kind of dessert it's time to turn off the lights and put your 'self' to bed.
Fortunately, Cold Stone does not have a parlor anywhere nearby, except at the Mall, which I do not go to on principle
My new year resolution to eat more fruit is going well
I take refuge in the Buddha Dessert.
I take refuge in the Dharma Pudding.
I take refuge in the Sangha Dessert Trolley.

If it's chocolate -- real chocolate -- it's NIRVANA!
I love all indian sweets and mango pudding is my favorite.
The only sweet I eat every day is three squares of 74% cacao chocolate.
You can never go back to the pansy Milka stuff after that.
^^^ dessert restraint is possible? How? Too delicious.
I remember that picture of Homer! It would have been a good one for me to post in the lunch room at work (before I retired), as they were always having birthday celebrations, and cake every time you turned around. They often would get a large vanilla cake with thick fluffy white frosting and giant strawberries halved. sigh!
Faux Key Lime Pie. Easy to make and most folks think I spend a lot of time in the kitchen to make. You will need a pre-made graham cracker pie crust. One regular size tub of Cool Whip, one can of sweetened condensed milk and one small can of frozen limeade.
Mix the Cool Whip, condensed milk and limeade until smooth/creamy. Pour into the pie crust. Place it in the freezer until you or your guests want some. Recipe from a 1930's cookbook created by some very churchy Southern Baptist women.
You know that at this time of year people are trying to recover from the holidays, right? This is just evil
Peanut butter pie. Handsdown. We only make it a few times a year because each slice is like 600 calories. Peanut butter, cream cheese, cool whip and a little sugar whipped up and put in a graham cracker pie crust. Top the mixture with a jar of warmed up hot fudge. Let it set in the fridge. Top that with cool whip and drizzle melted peanut butter and fudge on top. To die for. It has replaced birthday cake in our house.
I love a good cheesecake, too but more on the cheesy side than anything else. Regular cheesecake with berry topping.
Otherwise, I'm really not a big dessert person, which is funny because I have a huge sweet tooth.
You bet! When frozen limeade is out of the budget (or the cupboards)...hahaha...use a package of kool-aid! At any respectable Southern gathering there will be kool-aid pie, banana pudding, and peach cobbler.
Finest quality ice cream - mint chocolate chip or strawberry with real strawberry pieces
mmm! Or creamy honeycomb cheesecake 
! Or the humble kid's Birthday cake 
with cream, jam and thick icing 
!
Chocolate covered pretzels.....Yuuuuuummmmm!!!! Sweet AND salty....
Banana Chocolate Cheesecake
Vanilla ice cream with spanish peanuts (a little salty) and hershey chocolate syrup a smidgeon. Used to be that I liked Breyers vanilla which had little specks of vanilla bean ground up in the ice-cream but now I guess they are cutting costs and do not have that. Hershey isn't great chocolate, but it is attached to me via memories.
So the above ^^^ I am attached to but the best dessert minus nostalgia is tiramisu with with an espresso.
I used to be addicted to Cheetos - the soft, puffy ones, and I had to pretty much go cold turkey. Every time I'd see them on display at the end of the aisle in a grocery store, I wasn't able to pass them up. I know how bad they are for you because of the sodium alone. I've been Cheetos-free for at least a year now.
I used to consider them a type of 'dessert'.
I don't eat sweets or desert anymore, I used to have a sweet tooth about 7 years ago and got plenty of cavities. Since I have stopped eating chocolate and stuff like that I have never needed to go to the dentist once, only recently because I have broken a few teeth.
But to answer your question, it is super unhealthy but I think they taste so good, deep fried battered mars bars
Ugh!! I'll take your word for it, but honestly - ? That looks like something the dog brought up.....!
It doesn't look good, it is death in bat form but it taste amazing. I wonder if anybody else has had one here? At Lunch time in school we often would walk to the fish and chip shop with mars bars and pay them to fry the bars for us. Good times.
