Above you can see Cookie Till’s spectacular blueberry pie. She has baked this pie herself for many years and now makes it along with her restaurant’s other desserts at her bakery called Ventnor 7311.
This might be the best blueberry pie I’ve ever made. Pictured above is it without her homemade whipped cream. The whipped cream takes it to the next level.
Below is Steve and Cookies’ Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake, which Mike Man describes as follows:
“My absolute favorite is the chocolate peanut butter pie from Steve and Cookies. I’ve had versions of it at other restaurants, but nothing compares to this.”
Here it is:

The Capriccio Crème Brûlée is not only delicious… it is an experience at the table… because your waiter roasts the toppings right before your eyes until they are a perfect, crispy delicacy.
The photo above shows my actual dessert when we had dinner at Capriccio, an Italian restaurant.
This is William, our wonderful waiter. Capriccio Italian Restaurant is the highest rated casino restaurant in America by USA Today 10 Best The readers’ choice.
Capriccio took first place in
America for the last 3 years and 4 of the last 5 years. Their consistency is extraordinary.
