5 to Try: Desserts

Sometimes the best part of dinner is dessert. There’s nothing better than treating your self to rich, creamy, chocolaty deliciousness. Whether you’re a fan of the sweet or the savory, you can find it in the CWE. In our tireless effort to bring you the some of the best the CWE has to offer, we “researched” ourselves into a sugar coma. Here are our picks for desserts you need to try the next time your sweet tooth strikes…

Pi
Pi has great pizza, but what you may not know is that they have great desserts. Cookies for Everybody can please any crowd – they’re vegan, gluten free, and delicious!  The best part in our humble opinion is the sweet, fluffy goodness that’s sandwiched between two “chocolate” chip cookies. So, sit back and enjoy the almost guilt-free goodness.

Bissinger’s
The Bissinger’s name is synonymous with really great chocolate, but did you know that they’re pretty good at savory, too? The Brun-Uusto, which is a Finnish-style bread cheese, is served warm with tomato-cocoa nib chutney – a savory favorite. This unusual treat is a definite palette-pleaser, and proves there’s more than one way to serve chocolate!

Cucina Pazzo
How can you pass up a soufflé made of Nutella? The answer: you can’t. Indulge in the light chocolaty layers served with rich, creamy Stracciatella Gelato, and accented with chocolate-covered espresso beans. It’s the best the dessert world has to offer – ice cream, cake, chocolate and caffeine!

The Cup
The Cup doesn’t mess with perfection. They don’t rely on layers of decorative fondant, candied flowers, or sprinkles that have been imported from an island off the coast of France. Their cupcakes are exactly what they should be – moist, light, and topped with a delicious buttercream icing. The Cup produces these delightful confections in a variety of flavors, so there is definitely an option to please everyone.

Sub-Zero
Sub-Zero is mostly known for their vodka, burgers and sushi, but they also win at a St. Louis favorite – Gooey Butter Cake. One part cake, one part gooey sweetness, all yummy! You can’t go wrong with this classic. This baby practically melts on your tongue and gives you a euphoric rush of sugary sweetness. It’s the perfect way to end your meal.

Cap off your dinner or head down just for a treat in the CWE this weekend!
