Whether at home, or, when you go out to dine … Do you leave “room” for dessert?

The Atlantic City, New Jersey area is rich with many accomplished dessert and pastry chefs … at casino and non-casino restaurants.

I took to social media and asked our readers, listeners, friends and family foodie members to submit their favorite desserts.

Our list is extensive, but, it is important to note that it doesn’t even scratch the surface of the many high quality desserts that are available for you to enjoy in the Atlantic City area.

The above is Cookie Till’s spectacular Blueberry Pie. She has personally baked this pie for many years and now makes it, along with the rest of her restaurant desserts at her bakery called Ventnor 7311.

It may be the finest blueberry pie ever made. It is pictured above without her homemade whipped cream. The whipped cream takes it to the next level.

Below, is Steve and Cookies chocolate peanut butter pie that Mike Man describes like this:

”My all-time favorite is Steve and Cookies chocolate peanut butter pie. I have had other restaurants version of this, but nothing compares.”

Here it is:

This iconic restaurant (Chef Vola’s)  is outstanding in every way.

Your meal will feature generous portions, but, leave room for dessert … because their desserts are masterclass.

I am going to feature their most famous desserts … Chef Vola's Banana Cream Pie and Hot Apple Ricotta Cheesecake.

Frank Sinatra loved their banana cream pie.

Donald Bucci wrote us that, “Chef Vola’s banana cream pie. I'll put it up against any dessert in the United States!”

Countless other readers and listeners wrote us about Chef Vola’s desserts. More write about Chef Vola’s than any other restaurant listed here.
