Something that has chocolate, includes truffleniss or chocolate ganache and has either whipped cream or cream cheese frosting. Next level would be the addition of Kaluha or Baileys.
@heartny
Sorry, that fluffy tan stuff and the ganach-y outer coating lost me.
Give Death by Chocolate or Wegman’s Ultimate Chocolate Cake- thick moist Devil’s food [chocolate] cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting!!
@PhysAssist So you enjoy being frustrated and/or disappointed? If I were mean, I would give you the recipe as written by my grandmother which includes helpful directions such as “let cool until you can hold your hand on the bottom of the pot.” Let me modify it as I promised my brother with specific temperatures that I have figured out through research.
@olperfesser have you ever tried miracle fruit/berry?
I haven’t, but it tricks your tongue so sour things taste sweet. (After eating miracle fruit, for a while afterwards lemon juice supposedly tastes like sweet lemonade, vinegar tastes like syrup, etc). You could go on a sweetness ride without any sugar… If you so desired.
@olperfesser@OnionSoup the berry (you can buy them in pill form on Amazon) does it in a way that coats most of the other sensors in your tongue to accentuate the sweet taste (and numb the others).
Portion: don’t mix berry & a spoonful of sugar; you feel like you’re eating sand.
@OnionSoup@phendrick It’s nearly as revolting as many of the atrocities annually committed and given the name “fruitcake” here. While there are some edible fruitcakes, a great many are closer to dwarf bread.
@OnionSoup@pakopako@phendrick Deadly battle baguettes, though the “fruitcakes” are more often in the shape of an overweight throwing ring or a paving brick.
OM NOM NOM NOM
ChristMAS, as in, the more the Merrier!

@growyoungagain You’ve got me drooling!
I make a trifle every year. Usually have something else too… But always a trifle.
@OnionSoup Trifle is just a big parfait.
And everybody loves a parfait!
Pecan pie- Classic favorite that actually taste that good
@famwelch
2nd, 3rd, & 4th that emotion!
When I really want to splurge, I top it with either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Chocolate Truffle Bomb Cake
@heartny NOW we’re talking — ain’t nothing sugar free or keto about that!
/giphy yum-o
@heartny looks and sounds great. That’s actually very close to what I described in my comment.

Seconds on the savory. I don’t seem to have a sweet tooth.
But that truffle bomb cake would deserve at least a bite!
My dessert philosophy any time of year (I don’t celebrate holidays) is to make it worth the calories.
One must have is my grandmother’s recipe for homemade fudge. It is notoriously difficult to get right but I am getting it right more often lately.
@cbatte practice makes for happy tasters
@cbatte
And when will you be whispering that to me?
Pretty Please, with a Maraschino Cherry and Whipped Cream on top???

!@cbatte No, and thank you
As a diabetic, I have to limit my sweets. So, tasty and healthful is the rule. And in very small quantities.

@olperfesser @OnionSoup
It really does work, but you have to watch the acid load on your stomach.
Whatever puts me in a coma faster.
@pakopako
For me that’s Turkey, stuffing, taters, and gravy.
Some holiday deserts should be avoided?

@phendrick Christmas pudding is disgusting. And I say that as a Brit.
I don’t know how anyone can eat it.

@OnionSoup @phendrick @werehatrack dwarf bread? You mean doorstops and catapult ammo?
