Top 5 Desserts of the Year!

Creamy-Cold-Sweet-Decadent-Gooey-Crispy-Warm-Yummy!!!

Desserts may be the last course of meal but they are definitely the most memorable!  With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you may be contemplating what desserts you will be diving into! Whether you are a chocoholic, ice cream fanatic, or a doughnut lover, Tis the season for desserts. So, What dessert topped off your year?

At #5 is Bread Pudding. Bread pudding is a delicious concoction made out of doughy egg bread soaked in custard and gently tossed with crunchy sweet mix-ins. This dessert is versatile, comforting, & delicious whether you make it sweet or savory.

At #4 is the Chocolate Flourless Cake. This is a staple on all fine dining dessert menus due to the fact that it’s the perfect combo: Chocolate + Cake + Gooey Chocolate Center= Happy & Satisfied Customer. Who doesn’t eat this delicate yet hearty dessert and still want more? Not me!

At #3 is Cheesecake. Whether you like it dense or light, this creamy dessert can be fruity, nutty, sweet, or tangy. Did you know that this less than dainty dessert can be traced all the way to Ancient Greece and the first Olympic games!

At #2 is Ice Cream. Over the years ice cream has transformed to may looks & textures. Today, you can choose from custard like ice creams to gelatos to sorbets to frozen yogurt. The options are endless. Plus, ice cream is a great base that can be doused with warm caramel, nuts, & whipped cream or mixed swiftly with candies into a whole new creation!

And at #1 is Pie. The American Comfort Dessert! This dessert makes #1 for me because it can be enjoyed in a variety ways and is a staple at all family get-togethers.   Different seasons of the year invoke a desire in me for different type of pie. In the warmer months, fruit pies seem to the most desirable. While the colder months, the denser more decadent chocolate pies fulfill my heart’s desires. I must not be the only person who believes pies are #1 because approximately $700 million pies are sold in grocery stores alone every year (This number doesn’t even reflect the pies you bake at home or the ones you order at restaurants)!!!

At Catch 35, the dessert menu (of course) addresses all of these wonderful delicious desserts! The Carrot Cake Bread Pudding that is butter toasted with caramelized pineapple, oatmeal cookie crust, & cream cheese mousse is a memorable one. Flourless Chocolate Lava Cake with a gooey chocolate hazelnut center, topped with Frangelico crème anglaise, raspberry sauce, & crushed hazelnuts is a chocoholic’s heaven. Our cheesecake changes with the seasons but the textures are always creamy and decadent! We celebrate Chicago with Homer’s Ice Cream & Sorbet whether you choose to have it al a mode or stand-alone. Last but definitely not least, Catch 35 offers Key Lime Pie (Tangy & Creamy) and Pecan Pie (chockfull of pecans) is drenched with caramel sauce and served with vanilla bean ice cream. The Perfect Ending for any day of the week!  See you Soon!
