Dinner is good and everything, but everyone knows that dessert is going to steal the show, and when it comes to dessert, Dallas knows its stuff. From sweet to savory after dinner treats, the city has delectable mixture of old favorites and new innovations, and since it’s impossible to pick just one here are six of the best desserts you can find in Dallas right now.
Smoke has been a conversation piece within the Dallas food scene for some time now, and its desserts are no exception. Their take on the classic key lime pie is nothing at which to scoff. It’s sweet, tart filling is everything you remember in this summertime favorite, but it’s stacked a mile high with meringue and goes perfectly with their Woodshed margarita.
Coconut Lemongrass Panna Cotta
Mot Hai Ba is the quintessential Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall, but their take on this Italian classic is shouldn’t and can’t be ignored. Served with a peanut crumble and raspberry sorbet, it’s a melt in your mouth treat that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Don’t be surprised with how quickly they’re able to get it to the table – it’s going to be fresh and wonderful every time.
The menu at Dallas’ favorite pie shop is always rotating, so there’s no way to mention a single stand out pie because by the time you get there a new one will have taken its place. You can be sure of one thing, though. No matter what you order, it’s going to be amazing. With past flavors including a red velvet pie and a chai spiced buttermilk pie, you know you’ll be able to find something delicious and comforting, but also a step beyond what grandma used to make. Head on in for a slice, or order a whole pie online for delivery.
Cafe Momentum is cool enough on its own – just take a look at its mission statement. But the restaurant turned second chance goes from to cool to downright cold with its candied fresno ice cream, an after dinner treat that candies up fresno peppers, whips them into a delicious, icy dessert, and serves it scooped alongside a polenta financier and honey popcorn. Warm yourself up and cool yourself off all at once – it’s the perfect way to balance your dessert the same way you do your dinners.
Joy Macaron has put a spin on the traditional ice cream sandwich by stuffing the ice cream in between their macaron shells, making for a smaller, taller, and all around delicious treat that is as good in twos or threes as it is on its own. Flavors rotate frequently, but you’ll never be disappointed.
This is the only dessert you’ll find on Bowl and Barrel’s menu, and that’s because there simply isn’t a need for anything more. House made daily, this treat pairs perfectly with anything else in the restaurant/bowling alley, and is just as good whether you win or lose.
