What is your absolute favorite dessert out of everything, and why is this your favorite?
I am a big dessert eater, and I love to bake and find different and new recipes to try out and add to my collection. My favorite dessert ever would have to be pineapple pudding. What is your absolute favorite dessert out of everything, and why is this your favorite? Please explain and list a recipe if you have one!

I like dessert, but for me, it’s more of a treat than to close the meal. Most dessert I really enjoy are commercial ice cream from certain brands. Haagen Daz green tea ice cream is really to die for, IMHO. But right now I am absolutely craving wine ice cream from Japan. The wine is mixed into the ice cream and they use real wine! I very rarely drink wine because I don’t like wine in general and the price is rocket high here. But the wine in the ice cream is really delicious! They have taste like peach merlot or champagne something. I don’t remember all their taste, but it’s a mix between fruit and wine I usually have to have 2 scoops with different flavor. Lol.

Banana Split Cake (although it's really more of a pie) is my favorite; it has a little of all the flavors I enjoy, chocolate, bananas, cherries, cool whip, pineapple... and there are variations (caramel, pecans, peanuts, strawberries.) It's so versatile anyone can adapt it to their own favorite flavors.
Here's my recipe:
3 bananas
11/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
pineapple sundae topping
chocolate sundae topping
strawberry sundae topping
1/2 cup pecans chopped
Maraschino cherries
1 8 oz carton Cool Whip (or your favorite whipped topping)
1 pint vanilla ice cream ( your favorite brand) allow to soften slightly then beat with a mixer.
1/2 stick butter
1- 13x9 in glass rectangular dish
Slightly melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the graham cracker crumbs in the glass dish. Spread a thin layer across the bottom to create the crust. Next add the ice cream, spreading evenly across the crust. Slice the bananas lengthwise and layer across the ice cream. Cover with cool whip. Next drizzle strawberry topping, pineapple, then the chocolate. sprinkle cherries and nuts across. Place in freezer for about 1 hour then serve.

1/2 can water chestnuts
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup sugar
5 drops red food coloring
1/3 cup coconut milk
Take half a can of water chestnuts, about 10-15 pieces. Use fresh water chestnuts if you like, but the ones in the can are already peeled and ready to be used. Slice each chestnut into half, making two round disks. Make two cuts into the two disks to make 6 equally sized pieces. Set chestnut pieces into a bowl and drop the red food coloring and a teaspoon of water and mix well. If you would like to use other natural food coloring, I would recommend beet juice that comes from boiled beets.
The next step is to turn the red chestnuts into rubies. Drain the chestnuts of any juice. Put tapioca flour in a big bowl. Drop the chestnuts in and shake the bowl around to coat the chestnuts with flour. Scoop the chestnuts into a strainer to get rid of the excess flour. Put it into another bowl. Here is the secret: spray some water on the chestnuts with a misting spritzer. Put them back in the flour bowl. Coat them with flour again. If you want bigger rubies, repeat the spraying and flouring.
Boil a pot of water. When boiling, dump the coated rubies in. The cooked rubies will float and show their beautiful color. Scoop them up in a strainer and dump them in ice water.
In a small cup add sugar and water to make syrup. Microwave the cup for 3-4 minutes depending on your microwave.
Divide the rubies into equal amounts and set in two bowls. Pour out water from the bowls. Add half of the coconut milk and half of the syrup to make one serving. Serve with crushed ice in the summer time.
