Hey you all:
Yup is me back again and this time I am going to talk about desserts. Austin has so many places with great desserts. Here are my favorite ones in no particular order (I really can't decide which one is better than the other one, seriously!)
Favorite Cookies:
1. Alamo's Drafthouse Hot Chocolate Chip Cookies - I have no words to described how it feels to eat one of these cookies. I just know that I love them! They are serve in a plate directly from the oven, they are very crunchy on the sides and soft and warm in the center. It is a total experience to eat these cookies. Not all the Alamo's have these cookies, but I have been at the Alamo at Anderson Lane and they have them there as well as at the one in South Lamar. Next time you go and watch a movie, don't forget to have those cookies... You will be sorry only if you don't try them... :)
2. Jack Daniels Pie from Texas Land and Cattle Restaurant - Look at the description: "Baked with bits of chocolate chips and pecans, topped with vanilla ice cream." and tell me that it doesn't sound magical! I have go there with several people and let me tell you something, even my friend Frank that is bullimic (hahahahaha, I love you Frank) told me that he could not stop eating it! That thing is one of the most delicious thing I have ever tried in my life!!! Thank God I go to the gym every day!!! Try it!
3. 1/4 Pound Chocolate Chip Cookie from Waterloo Ice House - the name says it all... Served hot and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you will feel that you are in heaven! Good Good!!!
4. Tiff's Treats - All of them are so delicious!!!
5. Maria's Chocolate Chips Cookies - If you are a close friend, you will know that I did cookies from scratch and they are almost like the Alamo's. I used to tell my friend Coraly that I wanted to try to do cookies and for my last year birthday, she gave me all the neccesary equipment for me to make that dream come truth. They are good if you cook them in any oven except Jorge's one (hahaha, according to Jorge, his oven is three times more hot than others... that's why, last satuday, he got burn some Pizza bites, right Jorge??? I LOVE YOU!!!)
Ok, enough cookies for now, let's talk about brownies:
1. Fudge Brownie Pie & Ice Cream from Daily Grill - Fresh Baked Fudge Brownie, Topped with a Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream, Warm Caramel and Hot Fudge Sauce, Candied Pecans, Dusted with Powdered Sugar. This thing is undescribable!
2. Brownie a la mode from Trudys - Delicious brownie with mexican vanilla ice cream on the top!!! nice, nice, very nice!
Tres Leches
1. Tres Leches from Cafe Mangu - This one is a very good Tres Leches!! You have to try it!
Flan
1. Flan at Fogo de Chao - Very good flan there!
2. Jorge's Coconut and Vanilla Flan - I have some wonderful friends that knows how to do great desserts... Jorge your flans are exquisite. :)
3. Coraly's Flan de Queso - and Coraly, wow, this girl knows how to prepare a great flan de queso and I also love her cakes!!!!! The best cakes in Austin!!!
Cheesecakes
This list is a long one, but I will just mention the one I love the most: The Dulce de Leche Cheesecake from cheesecake factory. I will add also, the ones from Mozzart's Cafe...
