I am trying out many desserts these days , and trying to understand what makes people tick when it comes to desserts.

I would love to hear what your favorite dessert, about yourself  and (of course) a good recipe is always welcome!

So – Whats your favorite dessert?

Ingredients:
2 (12-ounce) packages fresh cranberries
2 cups white sugar
1-1/4 cups fresh orange juice
1 cup fresh lemon juice

Method:
In a large pot, add cranberries and enough water to cover. Boil until cranberries begin to pop. Drain and put through a food mill placed over a large bowl.
While still warm add sugar to dissolve in the warm berries. The amount of sugar may vary depending on the tartness of the berries, so if you decide to add more sugar remember that the mixture will be tarter when it has been frozen.
After dissolving the sugar in the berries, stir in fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh squeezed lemon juice.
Pour in 8″-9″ square pan and freeze overnight. Take out of the freezer 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup (125ml) 35% whipping cream
1 tsp. (5ml) orange rind, finely grated
1/3 pound (~250g) bar bittersweet rich dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup (50ml) 100% pure orange juice

Method:
Light candle under fondue pot to preheat.
In saucepan, heat whipping cream and orange rind over medium-high heat just until cream comes to a boil.
Reduce heat to low. Add chocolate to saucepan; whisk until chocolate is melted. Whisk in orange juice.
Pour chocolate mixture into fondue pot. Serve with assorted fruit such as chunks of pear, apple, banana, or orange sections.
