Nothing satisfies my hunger like something sweet. I am a self-proclaimed addict of all things dessert, so I am particular about which sugary dishes I deem ‘the best’. While I am constantly amazed at how the Dallas pastry scene has grown to be one of the best in the country, I do have my favorites. Here are my ‘must eat’ sweets of the moment, try not to drool.

Buttered Popcorn Créme Brulée: This savory and sweet treat comes to us courtesy of Village Kitchen in the posh Highland Park Village shopping district. Complete with Popcorn Pretzel Praline and Malt Ball Ice Cream, it’s a combination of salty popcorn and crunchy brûlée that can’t be beat.

Chocolate Avocado Cake: Take a trip north to Plano and uncover one of the newest additions to the scene, Mexican Sugar. This place is serving a delicious chocolate dessert that’s made with avocado. That’s right, avocado. I was a little skeptical too, but after tasting the flavors of the ancho spiced chocolate cake, cinnamon meringue, chocolate avocado mousse & ganache I was sold.

Mexican Chocolate Cake: Another newcomer to the Dallas area, Chino Chinatown has a Mexican Chocolate Cake on the menu that is lick the spoon good. Topped with mole ganache, pecans, coconut ice cream this Latin and Asian inspired sweet indulgence is certain to hit your sweet tooth target spot on.

Coffee Toffee Apple Pudding: A F + B may have a strange name, but pastry chef Laurel Wimberg is not messing around behind the dessert line. Taking this ramekin full of goodness and pairing it with crème fraiche and maple pecans is a must. This Ft. Worth gem is a destination to stop into and warm up with this dish.
