This or That: Dessert Edition

in About me, Everyday on

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a fun survey about a bunch of random things. Today, I’m making one about dessert. Why? Because it’s National Dessert Day. Because it’s the middle of a long week. Because I ❤️ dessert. Ready? Okay!
  • Apple pie or pumpkin pie?

I hope you know I love pumpkin (and pumpkin-spice products). I really do. And, overall, I guess I like pumpkin pie more because it has a better filling-to-crust ration. However, I’m kind of picky about pumpkin and don’t like it too sweet, so I usually enjoy the actual filling in an apple pie more because the sweetness is complemented by spices. 

  • Apple pie or apple crisp?

Crisp! Absolutely. I love crumbly topping and hate flaky pie crust. And it has the warm apple filling I love. Put vanilla ice cream on top of it, and you have perfection. The end.

  • Jell-O or pudding?

Pudding! I’ll eat Jell-O when I’m sick, but I’d rather avoid it.

  • Brownies or blondies?

{Okay, those are brownie cookies. Still.}

Brownies! The messier and fudgier, the better.

  • Cheesecake or tiramisu?

Cheesecake. I love simple cheesecake with fresh berries.

  • Caramel or coffee flavors?

Caramel! I love the buttery flavor it adds. I pretty much only use coffee to enhance chocolate.

  • Cake or ice cream?

Hahaha. You know the answer to that.

And that’s all for me for today. I hope you’re hungry. I hope you have some dessert today. Fortunately for me, it’s $1 Shake Day and I’m attending a talk tonight with a reception offering free cookies. I think I’ll manage. 😉

What’s your favorite dessert?

    You always have the funnest surveys 😛
    Jello is one of the grossest thing ever! I’ve never been able to eat it…ever! Ick!
    Any dessert that’s chocolate or soft is good to me…so there’s lots of options 😉

      When it comes to dessert, options are not a bad thing 🙂

    I would answer the same to all of these! My all-time favorite dessert would have to be chocolate molten cake with a scoop of ice cream on top. Mmmmmm I want that now!

    “the messier and fudgier, the better” YES. Amen, girly. My favorite dessert is Ice Cream. preferably Ben & Jerry’s 😉

      Hard to beat Ben & Jerry’s! They have ice cream down!

    I think the best apple pies are better than the best pumpkin pies, but I’d take a run-of-the-mill pumpkin pie over mediocre apple pie. Probably apple crisp over apple pie, again unless it’s top notch pie. Neither pudding nor Jell-O is very exciting, but I’ll take pudding. Brownies over, blondies, obviously. Cheesecake over tiramisu, obviously. Those each have to be like 90+% landslides if you took a vote. Caramel, definitely. Coffee is not a good flavor. I have to dissent on the cake vs. ice cream question. They go best together, admittedly, but if it’s good cake, I’ll take it with a glass of milk over ice cream. Sorry.

      I like your take on the pies 🙂 I actually know plenty of people who really love tiramisu (even if I’m not one of them). And no need to apologize for taking cake over ice cream; that means there’s more for me!

    Haha, this is funny, Ellen…maybe not surprisingly, I’m the same as you on everything. One little difference on the cheesecake, though…I prefer (mainly some sort of chocolate) flavored cheesecake. Though plain is good too. When I saw the “cake or ice cream” question, I was thinking, “Duh, I know her answer to this one!” lol!

    Anything gooey, fudgy and chocolaty, or pretty much anything frozen is my favorite! If I had to pick one, it would probably be froyo, but then there’s ice cream cake…and brownies…Aaaa, don’t make me pick! ? Just chocolate. Anything is better with chocolate.

      Haha we do have similar dessert preferences! Yummm.
