Paul Thompson at Cypress Grille in Boerne served me the best Bread Pudding I have ever eaten! The "bread" was croissants baked with white and chocolate chips, butterscotch and Bailey's Irish Cream. Topped with Chantilly Cream, the flaky dessert was light and extremely moist. 

Dodging Duck is known for its brews and good food. The only dessert on the menu is a Toffee Brownie and it is a great one! Moist and chewy, the large triple chocolate brownie is served warm in a cast iron skillet. Topped with Haagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream, crumbled toffee and whipped cream, it was a fabulous offering for my chocoholic taste buds!

I've never been a fan of this dessert ... perhaps the consistency. However, Chef Luis served me a ? of a fabulous Crème brûlée that I thorougly enjoyed. That crispy caramelized sugar over the custard base. I will definitely order that one again next time I go to Peggy's on the Green!

I enjoyed a second wonderful dessert at Peggy's on the Green ... Pecan Pie! This Texas girl loves a great piece of pecan pie - no ice cream on top necessary! Flaky crust and the rich creamy filling topped with pecans was just the comfort food I needed on that day. Thank you, Chef Luis!

The Key Lime Pie at The Creek Restaurant was a beautiful and colorful dessert. The topping was a work of art with house-made whipped cream and lime zest. The lime glaze on the plate was tasty as well as pretty. The tangy lime dessert is a popular item.
