My favorite dessert is what we called Tootie Rolls. Really it was sugar and cinnamon rolled up in a pie crust. My dad would do the baking on Thanksgiving and Christmas and after finishing all the pies, he would use the leftover pie crust to make Tootie Rolls. My wife and daughter makes it now for me, but not as good as my dad.
I have a real sweet tooth, so it's hard to pick just one, but my grandmother's Peanut Bars (as her recipe card calls them) come to mind as an all-time favorite. A mixture of crushed graham crackers, peanut butter, melted butter, and powdered sugar is pressed into a pan, then covered with a layer of melted chocolate and chilled a few hours so the chocolate sets.
My favorite cake is Italian rum cake - hard to come by! When done properly it has several layers of a light yellow sponge type cake seaparated by assoorted fillings: a sort of chocolate puddin, a vanilla pudding, and maybe a layer of strawberry.the bottom layer of cake is lightly soaked in rum. The outside is frosted in a delicate whipped creamand decorrated with buttercream flowers, like a birthday cake, and the sides are coated with toasted almonds. It's the only birthday cake I want! The best we've found is from Tripoli in Methuen. Done right it's light & heavenly, otherwise heavy & unpleasant.
Blueberry pie made with wild blueberries my mother and I picked at Paul Stream.

I associate Flan with the 90’s sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It was mentioned in several episodes.
I would always request my mom make, Strike it Rich cake. Still one if my favs
Favorite: a large bowl of French vanilla ice cream and an ounce of Bailey's drizzled on top...YUM!!
I really like all deserts as long as there are no raisons.
