Desserts with fruit, what's your favorite?
My favorite would depend on the season. Summer would be strawberry shortcake. In the Fall, I like apple crisp. Banana cream pie is a favorite any time of the year! What are your favorite fruit desserts...cobblers, crisps, crumbles, clafouti, grilled or maybe it's a simple dish fresh fruit? Unusual recipes?

Mmm, fruity desserts are my favorite. I make a wicked panna cotta with raspberries. In summer, when local peaches are the best, I love peach pie. Pear crisp with cranberries is a favorite in the winter.

Raspberry creme brulee! Or apple cobblers are pretty good too :)

A specialty of my aunt's--Jewish Apple Cake with a cream cheese frosting. I eat it for breakfast and I can never get enough!

A fresh, perfectly tree ripened peach, simply sliced. Nothing else.

my sister and i recently paid a visit to the café at chez panisse and had the most marvelous persimmon pudding with cognac chantilly cream. it's our favorite fruit dessert yet.

Well, without intentionally alluding to another thread, my favorite fruit dessert is pie. Just about any kind, but especially apple, cherry, or peach.
My favorite specific dessert was a French apple tart (the baker called it an apple slice). It was a great tart dough loaded with sliced apples, no cinnamon, but something else mysterious and magical that made it far surpass any other apple tart I've encountered since. I'd love little more than to know how to make that tart. So simple, I had no regrets about having it for breakfast.

Oh and I made Bittman's clementine clafoutis the other day. My first clafoutis, and with its ease and delectableness, definitely not my last.

Peach cobbler; I made many of them last summer.

Fresh strawberry pie with whipped cream in summer. Lemon frozen custard is nice then, too. Pumpkin bars with cream cheese icing or cinnamony apple crisp in fall. Layered banana pudding or lemon pies/tarts in winter. In spring I'm usually just craving all the fresh produce of summer and so I like my fruit in a salad or fruit plate au naturel with maybe a little lemon and/or mint.

Gizdich Farms Ollaliberry pie. That, or port poached pears, and apple cobbler.

LunaPierCook's peach cobbler. Absolutely the best ever.

I love crisps and crumbles--peaches, apples, berries....Mmm. And any kind of clafouti is fine by me.

Never met a fruit morphed into a dessert that I didn't like - cooked or not. Impossible to pick a favorite, because I love all fruits and don't even get me started on desserts Wish I could eat them more often. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks would be nice! Guess I'd better stick to fresh fruits daily and dessert on occasion. ;) If I had to choose one today, I'd like something with a strong lemon presence.

Apple dumplings with whipped cream or strawberries with balsamico and pepper.

I don't eat cooked fruit (with a notable exception of Apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce, preferably served in Austria:-)), so any dessert that incorporates fresh fruit is right up my alley!

banana's foster, grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream & honey, cobblers, crisps..oh yum!

Cobbler seems to be popular.
I'd have to say either Apple Pie, or Lemon Meringue Pie.
GTO at 2:26PM on 01/18/08
Key lime or lemon meringue pies are near the top of the list, too. I have never heard of raspberry creme brulee---other fruits used in that dessert as well?
What fruit dessert would you choose at restaurant?

Lemon tart. Lemon pie. Lemon mousse. Or raspberry with chocolate.
