Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most popular dessert?
While plenty of surveys have likely been done, I feel you can’t go wrong with a fudgy brownie, chocolate chip cookies, or a classic chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
What is the healthiest dessert?
Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, so any dessert that uses dark chocolate makes it a bit healthier. Chia seed puddings, dishes that use yogurt, and treats with fresh fruit also make them healthier.
What is a good chocolate dessert?
Simple and classic, a chocolate fudge is delicious, rich, and satisfies with the tiniest bite.
