The best way to complete a satisfying meal is to indulge in a delicious dessert. Although there are many flavorful options available, there’s almost nothing that compares to the comfort of a classic favorite. Here are three decadent choices to keep in mind the next time you’re at your favorite restaurant.

3 Timeless Desserts You’ll Love

1. Chocolate Lava Cake

If you can’t choose between a standard chocolate cake and a mousse, why not opt for the best of both worlds? A chocolate lava cake consists of a flourless cake filled with hot, liquid chocolate. The combination is rich and decadent, and it’ll satisfy any sweet tooth and chocolate lover. A glass of red wine with a fruity background contrasts well with the cocoa’s deep flavor. Another delicious option is an iced cappuccino with Irish cream.

2. Creme Brulee

This dessert is an old-world favorite, and its roots can be traced to 17th century France. Creme brulee is an ultra-sweet treat that’s prepared in a single ramekin. It typically features a base of thick custard topped with a crisp layer of caramelized sugar. The contrasting textures appeal to people who prefer something unique to finish their meals. Balance the flavor with a glass of crisp white wine or a cup of coffee if you prefer something warm.

3. New York Cheesecake

Sweet, creamy New York cheesecake is a classic choice that tickles the taste buds and satiates the most stubborn sweet tooth. This dessert is a denser and richer version of the regular cheesecake. It’s made with cream cheese, sugar, and eggs, and it’s often layered on a graham cracker crust. Avoid choosing a sweet wine, as it’ll overwhelm the cheesecake’s flavor. A glass of riesling or sauvignon blanc is a classic and reliable choice that offers balance.
