Banana cream pie.
Breyers Natural Vanilla with a splash of Baileys or Frangelico

Creme Broullie (if that’s how you spell it)
I’ll just pronounce it - Krem Broolay.
Yummy. I could eat a bucket of that stuff.
No-Bake cheesecake or the No-Bake peanut butter cup dessert thing.
Ben & Jerrys. The twisted ice creams are especially
good.
Bad joke: Jeffrey Dahmer has a guy over for dinner,
and he asks “What’s for dessert?” “Oh, I got Ben
& Jerry in the freezer.”

But IRL I love Bananas Foster, root beer floats, and the lime and/or coconut popsicles from the Mexican paleta vendors
Homemade banana pudding or my own homemade vanilla ice cream (no eggs, just heavy cream, a little milk, sugar, and real vanilla). The ice cream is fabulous, but the milkfat content is outrageously high and you practically feel your arteries constrict as you eat it. Banana pudding is hard to mess up if you go to the trouble to make it from scratch (as opposed to dumping some Jello mix and some milk in a bowl), and the meringue adds something to the whole as well as using up the otherwise wasted egg whites.
I love good fresh strawberries with just a little sugar added, but I’ve never found a strawberry in a grocery store that’s a tenth as good as the ones I got growing up in eastern Arkansas from U-Pick places, so I tend to avoid disappointing myself. This sounds like mere nostalgia, but anyone who’s ever tasted strawberries from Woodruff/White/Jackson counties will, I believe, bear me out on this one. Ditto for watermelons from the same area (they’re bigger down around Hope, but they’re not as good).
I’ve also developed a pear-cranberry crisp that makes an excellent cool-weather desert, just unusual enough to make an impression (I once made some of my homemade ice cream in the middle of winter just to accompany it). It’s a toss-up between this and a New Orleans-style bread pudding with bourbon sauce that I add pears and a variety of spices to for my favorite winter dessert.
Key Lime Pie, a strangely unavailable dessert in the UK 
Fresh strawberries in sugar are always good, as are creme brulee and coconut merengue pie…Jesus God, but this thread is making me hungry! 
MikeG: I make a bannanas foster chiffon pie that will make you think you died and went to heaven.
Chocolate. Any kind, any where. I guess my favorite dessert really would be Blue Bell Ice Cream - chocolate almond marsmallow. It is chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered salted almonds and a marshmallow cream swirl. Yummm…
the Gobi. It’s not as big as some of the others, but I’ve always liked it for some reason. Plus all those dinosaur eggs!
rackensack, do you have a good recipe for Banana Pudding? Please post it, I’m desperate!
Creme Brulee is also on the top of my list, as is any sort of cheesecake or pie.
Oooooooo! Too many to list, but here are some of my favorites:
Homemade banana pudding
My mom’s chocolate pie
Blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream
Italian Cream Cake
Peanut butter cake
Mmmmm mmmmm!
Cheesecake. Any kind of cheesecake!
Chocolate mousse with cointreau. And I make a yummy one.
Also my Mom’s cheesecake.
I’m drooling.
I’ll stop now.

I’ve never seen reason to stray too far from the classic Nabisco Nilla Wafer box recipe. Whatever it might lack in sophistication it makes up for in familiarity and nostalgia value. You can, of course, vary it somewhat (a bit of rum splashed into the custard after it’s more or less cooked might be good, and you could allow it to sit for a while still warm, stirring occasionally to allow the alcohol to evaporate, if desired), but nearly any variation I’ve seen builds off this base.
Strawberry pie from Eat N’ Park.
Hmmm…we have some Lemon Meringue from Eat N’ Park right now…gotta goo…
Vanilla ice cream- the good stuff, with vanilla bean visible in it.
Lime jello, with Cool Whip
Donuts!
Or Doughnuts. Whatever you prefer.
The best are Krispy Kremes–but only if they’re served hot–otherwise, they’re not that special.
The best donuts are the ones that you find in the little strip malls–the ones that have a little ice-cream bar and sell home-made sandwiches and coffee on the side!
Lord help me—even thinking about them makes me want to grab another one right now! GRAWHRAHR!
Ahhh…that’s a good donut.

Montfort, mmmmmmmmm, yes.:)
But, since he’s not here I say,
strawberrys and vanilla ice-cream.
