Dessert is my favorite part of a meal. Whether its ice cream, cookies, chocolate, candy, cake, pie or Italian ice, I have made dessert a consistent part of my meals. Dessert could always put a smile on my face growing up.
When holidays come around my grandma always surprises my cousins and me with a malt ball pie. Otherwise known as the candy “whoppers”, they blend perfectly with whipped cream, chocolate mousse and a gram cracker mixture. The cake throughout is a soft fluffy texture. Topped with whipped cream, the inside is made up of crushed up malt balls, and chocolate mousse. The crust consists of crushed up gram crackers and vanilla round cookies to make the ending even sweeter.
With such a smooth pie the last crunch when you’re chewing makes all the difference in this tasty pie. Malt Ball pie is just another example of the best things being the fattiest for you. On holidays I like to treat myself but this is not something I would like to eat all the time.
Throughout the season, I switch around what I like for desserts. In the summer I love to have ice pops or Italian ice. In the winter I usually have some hot chocolate with some cake or ice cream. At home we have an Italian ice place on the beach that I love to go to with my friends. Desserts are the best part of every meal. It got me through the veggies when I was younger knowing that there was something sweet to come at the end.
