Cheesecake paired with another item (pecan pie, banana pudding, creme brulee, fruit tart) is the best combination.

The two-item limit is unfair or should be gamed to get more desserts.

Chocolate-based desserts (lava cake, eclair, truffles, cookies) are the preferred pick.

The spread is missing key favorites like carrot cake, lemon meringue, or coconut custard pie.

  • “No carrot cake? I am bereft. OK then, I'll take the crème brûlée and the eclair.”

    • I’ll take just the pecan pie, please, because I’ll warm it and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream 😍

    • Same as you, Cheesecake & Pecan Pie, because there's some logic behind it. Lemon Tarts & Creme Brulee are contained so that's all there is to it. There's going to be more Cheesecake besides just the slice, & a whole Pecan Pie, so more to sneak into.
