My favorite dessert is...

Vanilla jaconde with mango-cassis filling & dark-chocolate compote.
MMMmmmm
Lunchbox:
Dessert is a topic that I am passionate about. I can (and do, with alarming regularity) eat two or three desserts because desserts are the greatest thing.
My favourite thing of all is apple pie.
I also adore Mum's Lemon Meringue pie (so much tangier than any other lemon meringue pie, and with good, solid meringue and a yummy crumb crust). Last weekend she made me a bunch of mini pies and bought them over! It was the best thing! It is great with a big scoop of good quality vanilla icecream and a bit of mango puree. Another popular one is a cold-set French Vanilla cheesecake, and like Squiddy, I haven't found anyone who makes one better than The Cheesecake Shop. I aspire to one day make one as good, but they won't tell me their recipe, the shits.
Oh oh and of course there is plain old icecream. We have an icecream shop on the beach that is absolutely stellar and they make their own waffle cones right there in front of you, which is so cool. I like vanilla icecream best of all but sometimes I feel bad about wasting all of the other flavours, the ones I have liked so far include Cookies and Cream, Triple Choc, Mint Choc Chip, Baileys and a delicious Mocha Fudge Ripple. What is also good in icecream is Cold Rock, where they smoosh icecream together with stuff, my favourites there are vanilla icecream mixed with mango sorbet and Gummi Bears, and Milo and coffee icecream mixed with Maltesers.
When it comes to simple things I find you cannot go wrong with a simple red jelly and a tin of Two Fruits (peach and pear in syrup I think they are).
Ladybug:
The first thing that popped into my mind was chocolate fondant (with vanilla ice cream and raspberry or strawberry sauce, preferably), because it's just so insanely delicious. And after my mom learnt how to make it, I've had the pleasure of eating it with some regularity (like, 2 or 3 times a year, maybe). The center isn't always as liquid as it's "supposed to be" when she makes it, but it still tastes awesome.
My mom makes this Daim ice cream cake (meringue and home-made ice cream with Daim chips in it) as well, which is also quite delicious, but I don't think it beats the chocolate fondant. But it's not as rich, which is a plus.

I'd have to say, raspberries, lime sobert.. I don't really care much for sweets, I really like fruit and tangy stuff. I love Lychee gelato.
