Let me define first what a dessert is (in case you don't know :)).
Dessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food but sometimes of a strongly-flavored one, such as some cheese (source: wikipedia)
Okay then, i'll give my favorite dessert now! My faves are cake and ice cream! so yummy :) I also love the brownies or blueberry cheesecake. They make my meal complete! :)
How about yours? :)

Hello aaronaguinaldo? That ube halaya reminds me the good dessert of filipino. I really love it and it makes my stomatch heavy about it. You said that anything that is sweet? How about pure sugar? Hehe just kidding my friend. Well it's good to see filipino here in this site. Nice to meet you. By the way? Have you ever tried kalamay? It's really native and delicious too.

Gotta go with pumpkin pie! Probably also the healthiest of all the pies. Where as apple and cherry pies call for a lot of sugar and or oils and lards, pumpkin pie while still using sugar, uses eggs and milk. If you use skim milk and cut the sugar recipe in half, it is one of the most nourishing pies of all.
Eggs, while controversial in health because of cholesterol, nevertheless have one of the highest concentrations of vitamins and minerals in all of the food varieties, except perhaps for liver and milk. The protein in the eggs and milk and the super abundance of potassium and vitamin A in the pumpkin makes it an across the finish line winner. One slice of pumpkin pie, according to standard recipes of the canning factories for pumpkin, has more than your daily requirement of Vitamin A, which is necessary for eyesight, skin, and a powerful antioxidant that kills and removes damaging components of our metabolism byproducts from our body's cells.
You have to be careful, though, if you are buying a pie. Store pies that are bought from supermarkets and food companies usually cut costs in the recipes and use a lot of cooking oils in place of the milk and eggs. The number of healthy vegetable oils is relatively few, and even those are debated about: canola, olive oil, etc. Also, the sugar content may be increased to make up for the lack of milk sugar, or lactose, which is naturally occuring in milk, but healthy for humans!

My favorite dessert is buko pandan because it's creamy and sweet at the same time and there's a unique taste in it that you can't find in other dessert. It made my day because it's yummy and very satisfying though and I'm pretty sure that some of you have tasted this bukod pandan.

My favorite dessert is leche flan, it's a baked or steamed mixture of egg and condensed milk, another dessert I'm looking when I'm attending buffet or dinner parties is the fruit salad. If none is available, i just consider eating mixed fresh fruits for dessert.
