All-Time Dessert Favorites In The United States

By Marquerite Velasquez


Who can ever resist the serving of that sweet course after a meal? In fact, a meal is not quite a "meal" if not concluded by desserts of any kind. Americans are definitely a nation of people who love desserts - from pies to cakes, cookies and ice cream. More than the deliciously sweet tastes, it must be that wonderful feeling after eating these desserts that make us real fanatics of them. Let us take a look at what the top-rated desserts are according to Americans.

Throughout Europe and North America, the pie has long been a favorite treat. As far back as when the United States was still under English rule most every American household served pie after meals. The most popular flavor is definitely apple pie however the pumpkin pie is not so far behind either. Because of the seemingly never-ending discovery of more flavors and kinds for pies the list of popular pie varieties could go on forever and would include all sorts of fruit pies, as well as pecan pie and chocolate crme pie.

Chocolate has long been a favorite treat and in the United States, it is most often served in the form of sweets such as cakes, cupcakes or brownies. Chocolate birthday cakes are hugely popular and brownies make a perfect, easy-to-hold treat for potlucks, picnics and other special occasions.

An all-time favorite amongst kids, cookies can't be crossed out of the list of American top-rated desserts. Actually, people of all ages and genres seem to be into "cookies" especially the chocolate chip cookies. This one is probably dear to the American hearts because history shows that the first ever of its kind was prepared by an innkeeper in the United States, the owner of the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. Using pieces of semi-sweet chocolate bar by Nestle in her baked cookies, she was able to come up with that mouth-watering recipe bound to make history. It even moved Nestle to produce chips of chocolate calling them the "Toll House Morsels."

And who could refuse ice cream, especially on an extremely hot day? Ice cream and ice cream treats come in many different flavors and forms that there will surely be one great option for every ice cream lover not only in America but worldwide. Amongst the flavors though, vanilla remains the consistently preferred flavor on an overall consensus. Chocolate and cookies & cream are two flavors that are not far behind in terms of popularity.

Now if all that talks about desserts particularly ice cream has made you crave for some, you can always have the best ice cream treats at YoKuMon, a Culver City ice cream shop. At YoKuMon not only do you enjoy an abundance of flavors of ice cream, they also offer shakes, sundaes and shaved ice. Their most popular item is their famous $2 ice cream cookie sandwich. These special gourmet ice cream sandwiches begin with two freshly baked cookies, and they offer more than a half-dozen varieties of homemade cookies. You can mix and match cookie flavors and ice cream flavors to create your own custom treat.
