NY Cheesecake, no toppings. Chocolate lasagna (shortbread layer, cream cheese layer, chocolate pudding). Chewy pralines. Warm brownie hot fudge sundae.
ETA: Derby pie.
Homemade ice cream, gingerbread with whipped cream, carrot cake, and jello cheesecake with a graham cracker crust and canned cherry pie filling on top.
I have a sophisticated palate. 
I love gingerbread on the rare occasions that I have it. I just forget about it these days. It was a fairly frequent dessert during my childhood.
Malaysian shaved ice, it’s very difficult to find these days, but I can make my own. I also like fried ice cream.
Vanilla milkshakes and almost anything chocolate (eclairs, cream puffs, chocolate-mint ice cream, Girl Scout Samoas, multi-layer cake).
Because my mother so often tried to pass fruit off as dessert (um, no), I don’t consider anything with fruit in it to be a “real” dessert, but I will eat cherry or blueberry pie if it’s served with good vanilla ice cream.
OK, love warm gingerbread with home-made (vanilla) whipped cream.
I’m visiting from the Weight Watchers thread. Reading this thread is sort of like reading pornography.
Homemade butterscotch pudding.
Anything chocolate, as long as it’s not sickeningly sweet.
Non–chocolate desserts - creme brulee, cheesecake, fruit tart
Key lime pie is super easy and a favorite - google the recipe for Joe’s Stone Crab Key Lime Pie.
More effort but well-received when I bring to a party are homemade Whoopie Pies
Hummingbird cake – and there’s an excellent recipe for it in the new Zingeman’s Bakehouse cookbook!
I love Asian or Asian-inspired sweets because they aren’t sickly sweet like a lot of American desserts. Sticky rice with mango, butter mochi, sesame balls, buns with sweet red bean paste…yum!
But I also adore rum babas and strawberry cream cake.
@sabaray --got the recipe for the butterscotch pudding?
@ollie113, do you have a recipe for chocolate lasagna? That sounds really good.
@gouf78, I sure do - but it’s at home! I will PM you with it.
@1214mom I will PM when I get home!
@sabaray–thanks! I had a recipe from long ago and lost it. I’ve been looking for it ever since.
Chocolate eclair, if the custard is really good. Also, just about anything from a bakery case in Paris or Hong Kong where the desserts can be both rich and crunchy or flaky at the same time.
Chocolate lava cake. Carnival serves it EVERY NIGHT on cruises. I can never resist it.
One time in Ottawa I had the most AMAZING chocolate Creme Brulee. It was served hot. I love Creme Brulee but preferably served warm.
Good cannoli,chocolate cannoli cake, rum cake w/ layers of chocolate and strawberry custard between vanilla cake layers, pusties (a sweet tart dough crust filled with chocolate or vanilla custard), jelly donuts, tiramisu if it is not too sweet or too heavy on the liquer.
