What are your five favorite "desert island" desserts?

Figuratively speaking.

I'm thinking...

Homemade chocolate chip cookies
Lemon Pie
Hot Fudge Sundae
Quality chocolate bars (perhaps with sea salt crystals)

Hmmm... I shall return to the last one at some future date...

Hmm, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and my opinions, too, change on any given day.

But at the moment ...

Homemade chocolate-chip cookies
Ice cream from Louisville's Comfy Cow
Panna cotta
Really good New Orleans-style bourbon bread pudding
Mmmm, let me think ... Something stuffed in a pastry. Profiteroles, maybe, or a really good cannoli.
