Alright, let’s talk about them dairy desserts, you know, the sweet stuff after dinner. I ain’t no fancy cook, but I know what tastes good. And let me tell ya, sometimes you just need somethin’ sweet to finish off a meal, or heck, even just for a snack.
Now, I’ve heard tell of all sorts of fancy desserts, things with names I can’t even pronounce. But what I like is simple, good stuff. Like them chocolate puddings. You know, the kind you make with milk and cocoa powder? Real easy to whip up, and the kids love it. Sometimes I throw in some extra sugar, ‘cause why not? Life’s too short for skimpin’ on the sweet stuff, I always say.

And then there’s ice cream. Oh, I love a good scoop of ice cream. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, don’t matter much to me. As long as it’s cold and creamy, I’m happy. We used to make our own ice cream sometimes, back in the day. Had that old hand-cranked freezer. Took forever, but it was worth it. Nowadays, I just buy it from the store. Too old for all that crankin’, ya know?

- Ice cream
- Custard
Custard is another good one. My grandma used to make the best custard. Real thick and creamy, with a little bit of nutmeg on top. I tried makin’ it myself a few times, but it never turned out quite the same. Guess some things you just can’t replicate. But store-bought custard ain’t half bad either. Specially when you warm it up and put a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Now, I hear some folks are always tryin’ to make their desserts “healthy.” They use all them fancy sweeteners and whatnot. I ain’t got nothin’ against that, I guess, but I figure if you’re gonna have dessert, you might as well go all the way. Don’t try to fool yourself with some fake sugar nonsense. Just enjoy the real deal, in moderation, of course. You don’t wanna go overboard and get a bellyache.
Speaking of healthy, I did hear about someone makin’ somethin’ called “dark chocolate hummus” for dessert. Now, that sounds plumb weird to me. Hummus is supposed to be for dippin’ vegetables, not for eatin’ sweet. But I guess folks these days are tryin’ all sorts of newfangled things. And they got these “vegan strawberry cheesecake popsicles” too. Sounds fancy, but I bet they taste good. Maybe I’ll try ‘em sometime if I can find ‘em.
If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ a little healthier, though, I guess you could always just eat some fruit. A handful of strawberries or blueberries, maybe a nice juicy apple. That’ll satisfy your sweet tooth, and it’s good for ya too. Or you could have some sugar-free jello with whipped cream. That’s what my doctor told me when I asked him about cuttin’ back on sugar. He said eatin’ more roughage, like them leafy green vegetables and berries would help too. But sometimes, nothin’ beats a good old-fashioned bowl of ice cream, am I right?
So, there you have it. My thoughts on dairy desserts. Nothin’ fancy, just good, honest food. Whether it’s a simple pudding, a scoop of ice cream, or a creamy custard, a little bit of sweetness can go a long way. And if you’re feelin’ adventurous, maybe try some of them newfangled desserts. Who knows, you might just like ’em. But don’t forget the real stuff, the stuff that makes you feel good inside. That’s what matters most.
And remember, don’t be afraid to add a little extra sugar. Nobody ever complained about somethin’ bein’ too sweet, did they? Well, maybe some folks did, but they’re probably just grumpy old coots who don’t know how to enjoy life. So go ahead, indulge a little. You deserve it.

At the end of the day, it ain’t about followin’ some fancy recipe or usin’ expensive ingredients. It’s about makin’ somethin’ that tastes good and makes you happy. And that, my friends, is the most important thing of all.
So, next time you’re in the mood for somethin’ sweet, don’t overthink it. Just grab some milk, some sugar, and whatever else you got on hand, and whip up somethin’ delicious. Your belly will thank you.
