What's for dessert? Share your random sweet treats here :-)

I’m not a huge sweet eater, but am a bit of a sucker for tahini in desserts and I think I’ve just found my ideal. I got this salted Honey Tahini Cake at Talbot and Arding in Hudson, NY. They’ve had the cake since they did a book signing with Rachel Simons - author of “Sesame” and owner of Seed and Mill and I put off buying it until yesterday. Now I’m mad at myself for waiting and am hopeful they keep it in stock! I saved a few bites to have with coffee this morning and am so pleased with that choice!

Lovely! The crumb looks really moist😋

Thanks, BG! A lot of fruit went into the cake and it’s perfectly moist without being “stodgy”, the crumb is nicely baked.

Frozen banana dessert with Hershey’s dark chocolate syrup (“less sweet!”) and chopped walnuts.

Peach tart with toasted almond slivers, brushed with a little ginger preserves. Planning on plopping a scoop of peach gelato right in the middle. Delicious peaches, sweet and juicy, I got some more of them at the FM.

So pretty! What’s under the peaches? I brought my fam a couple that may need to become crumble or a tart.

Thank you! Just peaches, Moondust to catch the juices, maybe 3/4T sugar sprinkled on top, great peaches don’t need too much else. I debated about using peach jam or the ginger, had I thought ahead, as I made two, I could have done one of each.

Peaches, pecans, brown sugar and bourbon, definitely golden brown and delicious. The tart may get a dollop of sour cream or ice cream.

Pistachio tiramisu from a bakery near my hairdresser. Delicious.

Well, we held out 3 weeks. But today we simply had to order cookies from our Turkish bakery: CC walnut & triple chocolate pistachio.

Both were still warm from the oven, with the CC walnut cookie being particularly gooey, so I had a piece of the triple chocolate pistachio cookie instead.

I went to see the movie Sorry, Baby tonight with one of my meetup groups. I loved it, would recommend it and would see it again. We convened at a nearby restaurant for drinks and nibblies and an animated discussion after. I had a blueberry shrub and a blueberry cheesecake. Both were delicious.

Wow! Did you make all of those? Do you have a walk-in freezer? :slight_smile:

Yes I made them, I generally only make a pint or so. Yesterday I made dulce de leche , about 1 1/2 pints…that’s generally the max I make.
