tregatti Posted October 22, 2023 #26 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Chocolate whiskey cake. It shows up maybe once per cruise and it's the best chocolate cake I've ever had. (Note, there's no discernable whiskey taste). Bread pudding is runner-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatonDoolittle Posted October 22, 2023 #27 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Don't forget this beast - a cream puff the size of a softball at the Grand Dutch Cafe. It was one (half) and done for me, but should be on the list. Bitte Bol (sp) - someone will certainly correct the name for me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is excellent and well worth the small surcharge price, when compared to buying a quality gelato on shore. There is a Gelato station by the Dive-In near the central pool area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted October 22, 2023 #30 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Banoffee Pie - and second the Peanut Butter Pie. Liked the Oatmeal Chocolate bars in the Lido this time. And the MDR creme brûlée was excellent. Room service chocolate cake is always rich, moist and excellent. I do believe they use the "good chocolate" when making HAL chocolate desserts. Holland after all is a known chocolate country. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted October 22, 2023 #33 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Of current menus/desserts being served it is definitely the Peanut Butter Pie, served ONLY for Lunch on Embarkation Day. Someone mentioned only served on Saturday, that is not true. It is only on Embarkation Day, my last 4 Embarkation Days were Sunday. But I have also embarked on Wednesday Volendam s verbal years ago and that was my first time to have the Peanut Butter Pie and the Hotel Manager told me that was only prepared for embarkation. I think that was in 2016. Prior to the pandemic they also served it for lunch in the main dining room. But since the restart it is only in the Lido. Or at least what I have found. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandiego1 Posted October 22, 2023 #34 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Despite my long list of favorite chocolate desserts, I forgot to mention the brownie dessert at lunch in the Pinnacle Grill! Decadent chocolate brownie with coffee gelato. It is super creamy and delicious! It’s worth the price of lunch alone 😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Dewit Posted October 22, 2023 #35 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Bitterballen… a classic Dutch meat based snack. They are delicious… if you’re not Dutch, you’re not much… at least that’s what my mother always said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always one fruit crisp available every evening even if it is not on the menu; it just varies which kind of fruit. They are delicious. Shhhh! They are a secret! My favorite dessert!😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy it for dessert when I order a Club Sandwich. I want to recall there being a similar-but-not-identical chocolate cake in the Lido that is only served once or twice per cruise? Does anyone know the name? I’ve also had a chocolate raspberry cake in the Lido that was fabulous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BetsyS. Posted October 23, 2023 #44 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Years ago on the Veendam, they had liquers at the ice cream station at the Lido.

Back in the days when they had free after dinner chocolate candies in the Explorers Lounge when a classical ensemble was playing, along with a variety of liquors available for fancy coffees drinks.

robotpony Posted October 23, 2023 #48 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I'm not normally a dessert guy, unless I'm cruising. Our favs: 1. Salzburger Nockerl at Rudy's is a sharing size fruit flan that was fantab. 2. The Bossche Bol at the Dutch Cafe, also sharable, is pretty fantastic. 3. Creme brulé at the Pinnacle 4. Banana crisp (and banana pies) at the Lido Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regnig Posted October 23, 2023 #49 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The Lido used to have "Snickers Cake" that was to die for. Haven't seen it in at least 5 years.😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My all time favorite in land based restaurants. Have never seen it on a ship. Which ship? I will look for it on day 1 in Lido buffet from now on. Edited to add: thanks for showing pics of HAL's version of peanutbutter pie, now I know what to look for. In the land based restaurants where I have ordered PButter pie it is more of a cream pie w/ whipped topping or meringue. Creamy & lightly flavored w/ peanutbutter.
