what do you prefer as your desert side dish? I like all three, but not mixed together. I have to have them seperately or I can't enjoy them. also the jelly/jello and custard can't have hard lumps in them, and I don't like nuts etc added to the icecream, though I like maple syrup on all of them.

It depends on what I'm having for desert, if it's cake, I like Icecream. If it's Icecream, I like Chocolate and/or Caramel syrup.

Not a big fan of Jelly or Jello© products.

Not really a big fan of ice cream, but I'll admit that on a hot Alabama summer, it can be refreshing.

Which leaves only custard, but that's a pretty big category. Saying I like custard is like saying my car needs a spark plug.

Of all the dessert custards, my favorite is probably rice pudding, but a particular type called Arroz con leche a la Asturiana, which is a type of rice pudding made in the Asturian region of Spain. It's a traditional custard with no gelatin added, made completely from short grain rice and whole milk slowly reduced together. It takes about 10 hours to make and nothing but pure carbohydrates and fat, but it's really good.

The second dessert that I like is Baklava. I've tried lots of kinds, from American varieties to traditional Greek. I like them all, but I can't eat too much of it, because they're all too rich.

Finally, there is the Crème de la Crème: cheesecake (esp. with raspberry or cherry topping.) I've never met a cheesecake I didn't like. From my mom's Philly cream cheesecake (more of a pie really) with candied cherries to the chocolate ricotta cheesecake that I make. It's all good.

But it's all so, so rich and fattening. When I was 20 I could suck this stuff down like it was air, but today, if I eat a single slice of cheesecake my ass jiggles for week.

So I'm far more likely to choose fruit as a dessert, or sometimes even as whole meal. It's very common for me to go buy one of these huge 32 oz containers of chopped watermelon or something like that and eat the whole thing. It's delicious, juicy, healthy and the whole thing is less then 300 calories.

Much too narrow a list. Where are the shades of dessert inbetween?

Like frozen custard, king of the ice creams. Or mochi ice cream, something crossing jello-type things with ice cream....

The horrible temptation known as The Cheesecake Factory has arrived in my state....aaaaaaaaaaah it's pulling me in...no no no ( sorry I love cheesecake, but my diet doesn't)

Um I'm not a fan of jelly in any flavor ( my dad strangely loves the green kind) but I do like custard.

All of the above, which is why chasing my 2 year old is a breath taking experience. However, mint chocolate chip ice cream is my all time favorite.

Best jello in the world, Green Apple Champaigne Jello.

Just take a package of Green Apple Jello and substitue a cup of champaigne for cold water (you still need the hot water to activate the jello crystals) Make sure the Champaigne is dry or it becomes too sweet. Just refrigerate as normal and get ready for heady *hic* rich, (not too expensive unless you use the truly expensive blends) goodness.

The most popular desserts are those that mix sugars with fats, but a good thing to do for desserts is to mix fruit in with that. Zabaione Alle Fragole is a good example, which mixes a sweet Marsala custard with a tart fruit like fresh strawberries. The custard used in this dessert has ancient origins. It is similar to custards made by first century Romans, which at the time was not only sweet and rich, but also had a pragmatic purpose in that its high alcohol content helped to preserve the fruit it was used on.
