Today, October 14th, is National Dessert Day! Out of all the designated “national” days of the year, this is one of my favorites. I always say I could just eat appetizers and desserts and skip the entrees!
A Day About Desserts? Sweet!
So, what’s this day all about? Basically, it gives us an excuse to indulge in our favorite dessert! From cookies to pies, to pastries, cake and ice cream, there is a something out there for everyone.
All types of desserts are consumed throughout the year. There are seasonal delights, too, especially around the holiday season. In the summertime, ice cream prevails! In the fall season (as well as around Thanksgiving and the holiday season), pecan, pumpkin, and apple pies come to mind. During the holiday season, it is also common for people to dig out those dessert recipes that have been handed down for generations.
What’s your favorite dessert? Let me know in the comment section, I would love to hear from you!

It is hard for me to choose what my favorite dessert is because there are a few that fit in the same category but if I had to choose one dessert and call it my favorite I think it would be Thunder Cake. I could eat it all the time and never get tired of it. I absolutely love Thunder Cake especially if it is made from scratch.
I’m not sure if it can be considered as a dessert bc they’re considered a breakfast item but I sure love some pancakes made using milk instead of water to give the perfect amount of fluffiness, and then you’ll add your mix-ins; (vanilla extract, brown sugar, and a dash of cinnamon with some melted butter and syrup added on top) and ugh omg like a cinnamon roll minus the icing & pancake version it’s amazing.
My favorite is butterscotch chip cookies.
My fave dessert is chocolate mousse.
I love cake and a bowl of ice cream. Also, cannot pass up cheesecake!!
Pumpkin pie, cake with lots of icing, chocolate cookie dough ice cream, pecan pie, key lime pie. Basically I love deserts.
My absolute favorite is tiramisu, but I also love any kind of warm pie or cobbler (apple, blackberry, peach, cherry, etc.) with vanilla ice cream melting on top. Mexican churros and fried ice cream are also up there on my list!!
Pumpkin cheesecake all through the fall
Strawberry lime (extra green food color) swirl cheesecake
Gets me through the holidays.
Come spring I look forward to orange cream cheesecake.
But for summer I make rumchatta cheesecake topped with fireball cherry compote
It’s all about pumpkin chocolate chip cookies at my house right now.
I love all the goodies. I make this easy goodie. I use Pillsbury flat sheets and canned fruit pie filling. I put the canned fruit filling in the bottom of the pan that has been sprayed with pam, and then I add the Pillsbury flat sheets on top of the filling then last I add sugar and cinnamon on top and cook to golden brown. I hope you enjoy. Thanks😇.
I’m holding out for a few week for my birthday, if I’m good I will have devil food cake😋.
I love a good Texas sheet cake. Homemade ones are so good.
I like Moose Tracks or Mint Chocolate Chip
My favorites plain chocolate
My favorite is Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake with Death bye Chocolate Ice acream
I love a good cheesecake plain or with anything delish thing on top but I’ll never pass up ice cream no matter the temperature outside and add warm pie to it, I’ll finally be quiet!! Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Aldi’s has the best Carmel Apple Crumble Pie. Highly recommend heating it up in microwave or oven and topping with cool whip!
I Love chocolate chip cookies.😋
My absolute favorite dessert is my Chocolate velvet pie. It has a graham cracker crust with melted chocolate chips, cream cheese and whipping cream all blended until velvety smooth. Sooooo yummy. I make lots of different varieties of it, something with chocolate chunks in it, or strawberry pieces or even raspberries on top. My family loves when I get picked for dessert duty.
I like a caramel cake.
I Love a good strawberry pie anytime of year
