I don’t often ‘do’ dessert, but occasionally indulge in a treat with my afternoon coffee, or a sweet morsel of something late at night.
Never sure where to post those lovely creations (usually not my own), so I set up a nice big table for all of them right here
PS: I’m sure being in Berlin & Palermo inspired me to start this thread, bc how could I not post about the incredible gelato we’ve had here?
Yesterday’s gelato: pistacchio e crema & crispy amarena
Late night gelato on our first eve:

Pistacchio panna cotta at an Italian restaurant in Berlin

Here’s a massive , freshly filled cannolo - actually, it’s HALF of one. If cannoli tasted anything like this back home we might get them more often.
“Might.”

This was the “Saint Lucia” parfait, made with chocolate and vanilla soft serve, banana, mango, and digestives. From a Hotel Chocolat store in Toyama, Japan.

This thread reminded me about my favorite gelato place in SoCal just before my trip, so thank you for reminding me that this place existed and taking to opportunity to revisit it.
Almond and pistachio. So. Damned. Good.
Full meal here:
Went down to Los Angeles last week to accompany the partner to a professional conference she was attending.
Our last evening we decided to drive north from downtown to one of the BEST gelaterias I’ve ever been to. The owner is from Italy, and hand makes everything in house, gelato, pasta, pizza dough etc.
As many of the best places in southern California, it’s located at the back of a totally generic strip mall, behind a ‘Code Ninjas’ kid computer camp and a nail salon.
For dinner, we started…

Happy to oblige. I’d looked around to see if there was an existing thread to “park” our desserts or sweet treats, and only found an old one with 4 entries.
My poor dood is feeling even worse today (thx, covid), so I picked up a nice treat for him for our afternoon coffee
My half of a lovely pistachio croissant
