Do you have any fall off your chair good dessert suggestions?

Question

I have a multitude of cookbooks at home and have been looking on-line all morning. I just haven't been able to find something that interests me dessert wise at the moment.

Do you have any no fail, fall off your chair good dessert suggestions?

It's for tomorrow night. I'm going to be cooking for my boyfriend.
Dessert is the only thing I have left to pick out.

For the main course, I'm going to make Rachael Ray's "You won't be single for long" Vodka Cream Pasta that was featured on Oprah yesterday, a ceasar salad and fresh home made bread.

We're going to be going be meeting friends at our local bar after diner so I'm thinking that maybe a lighter dessert would be in order.

Thanks!

This might be a bit heavy for a "light" dessert, but it's my husband's request each and every time. It's called Better Than Sex Cake:

Answer 3

In a pan with butter saute either bananas or peaches , add Grand Mariner liquor and right before serving this over vanilla ice cream. Fancy but simple, elegant and delicious. Its like the flambes made at French restaurants.

Answer 4

You'll love this! It's light and very very easy to make make. Take chocolate grahm crackers and layer them with chocolate pudding (you can buy tubs of pudding for those who are REALLY busy, or lazy like myself). Gram cracker, pudding, gram cracker, pudding, ect until it is as high as you want it. It should look like a chocolate brick. Let it sit over night!!! Cover the top with mini marshmallows and stick it in the oven to melt and brown the mellows just before serving or simply cover with whip cream. Yummy!

Answer 6

I think a lovely yet simple strawberry shortcake, (with home made shortcakes, fresh and also frozen strawberries, and home whipped cream) is a no fail perfect dessert. For that special added touch - serve it totally naked,

Answer 7

This is a dessert me and my mother use to make back in the day. Hope you enjoy. I'll work up the nerve and try it myself again. come to think of it we used peanuts instead of almond slivers.

Answer 8

For folks like me who simply abhor any type of cooking, this one is easy. Get a can of Eagle brand condensed milk. Bring it to a boil and let it cool naturally. Once cool, open it and pour it over fruit. It's wonderful, kind of like caramel.

Answer 9

apple crisps with whipped topping! and it goes perfect with tea with milk.
