A selection of dessertsDessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a dinner, usually consisting of sweet food but sometimes of a strongly-flavored one, such as some cheeses. The word comes from the Old French desservir, "to clear the table."

The word dessert is most commonly used in Ireland, U.S., Canada, Australia (and in France), while sweet, pudding or afters would be more typical in the UK and some other Commonwealth countries for this course. According to Debrett's, pudding is the proper term, dessert is only to be used if the course consists of fruit, and sweet is colloquial.

Dessert as a standard part of a Western meal is a relatively recent development. Before the 19th-century rise of the middle class, and the mechanization of the sugar industry, sweets were a privilege of the aristocracy, or a rare holiday treat. As sugar became cheaper and more readily available, the development and popularity of desserts spread accordingly.

Some cultures do not have a separate final sweet course but mix sweet and savoury dishes throughout the meal as in Chinese cuisine, or reserve elaborate dessert concoctions for special occasions. Often, the dessert is seen as a separate meal or snack rather than a course, and may be eaten some time after the meal (usually in less formal settings). Some restaurants specialize in dessert. In colloquial American usage "dessert" has a broader meaning and can refer to anything sweet that follows a meal, including milkshakes and other drinks.

And for dessert the chocolate trio comes with a fudge brownie, walnut covered truffle and milk chocolate is absolutely sinful and almost orgasmic.

a molten lava cake - actually not really a cake, but it comes in little pots, so it's like individual little cakes, but you know what i mean - anyway, you bake the cakes for like 12 minutes and then you get a thin crust on top, but when you cut the cake open there's liquid dark chocolate that comes flowing out of it.

The healthy answer is.... whatever fresh fruit is native to your area.

The other answer is...a warmed Blondie with ice cream.
