It’s no secret that mothers all over the world put the needs and wants of their families above their own. It’s no different when it comes to food. I know in my house I rarely make my favorite foods. I’m always thinking of what everyone else wants to eat. But just once. What if we asked mom what she wanted to eat? What if we made her favorite food or dessert? I polled the moms in my life (via Facebook) to find out what their favorite desserts were….ya know, just in case anyone wanted to know. I got so many great answers that I decided to create a collection of Mom’s Favorite Desserts.

Mom's Favorite Desserts - Celebrate Mom on Mother's Day with her favorite dessert

Be warned though. You’re about to be inundated with ice cream recipes, pie recipes, brownies recipes and more!
