    @T-Mom: @betsyboop: yes, gulab jamun is the dessert with balls in very sweet syrup... I have a major sweet tooth, but that dish is usually too sweet for me, but it is yummy! rasmalai has cheese balls in a creamy sauce, and kheer is rice pudding. And @T-Mom: yes, I love kulfi too, but I haven't had it in so long that I couldn't remember the name! Someone once told me it's like super creamy ice cream because it has very little water content. My favorite restaurant in NY that used to make it so well closed a few years ago and I haven't found anywhere that offers it freshly made in-house since...

    My favorite dessert that my family makes is a 12 layer german chocolate ate. It is extremely rich and so just off the wall amazing. 12 layers sound like a lot but really the layers are more like crepes that actual cake layers. We also make around christmas.

    @Mrs. Tricycle: when we go out to eat I always leave room for dessert! Or I take one to go.
    @Coco Bee: do you have any Greek or Mediterranean or middle eastern restaurants near you? They always have baklava on their dessert menu. Or a lot of gourmet bakeries do as well.
    @MrsRcCar: mmm that sounds really similar to this cake my brother gets from this Long Island Bakery. 20 something thin layers of crepe like goodness! It is very light & airy. The one he gets is from a Italian Bakery I think and it's not German chocolate. More vanilla. He gets one for almost every family gathering!
