This Winter Park tea bar highlights deconstructed Thai dishes to enjoy with a lengthy list of teas that are pleasing to the eye and belly. While the name may not suggest decadent desserts, digging into one of the Brick Toast or High Hat delicacies will prove otherwise. Dive into the Sleeping Beauty Brick Toast consisting of organic honey, Nutella, banana, and vanilla ice cream. Or maybe the Strawberry Cheesecake High Hat with its premium vanilla bean ice cream, cheesecake, strawberry, crushed peanuts, raspberry syrup, Ghirardelli white chocolate syrup and a waffle cone are more your speed. Either way, your sugar craving will be satisfied.

We love the variety of restaurants at Universal Orlando that are perfect for date night. And one of our top picks is Bigfire at CityWalk. Even if you just head here for drinks and dessert, the tableside s'mores are sure to be a memorable date night. The variety of fixings to make your s'mores unique will make it fun for you to get creative and try each other's creations. And with the unmistakable energy of CityWalk, this experience is one of the best desserts in Orlando.

Southern hospitality meets contemporary cuisine at SOCO in the Thornton Park District. Bourbon Banana Pudding, S’more Bread Pudding, and Chef’s Selection of Artisanal Cheeses are just a few of the options you will find highlighted on the dessert menu. Awaken your senses with the Potato Chip Crusted Chocolate Cake – chocolate cake with potato chips sprinkled on top plus peanut brittle and salted caramel scattered around.

Take your everyday comfort food and add a side of unusual to understand Hash House’s “twisted farm food” motto. The fun menu keeps the conversation interesting and your tongue impressed. Practically every dish is over the top, but plunge your fork into one of their unique sweets like Andy’s Famous Bread Pudding and leave your mouth wowed.

An epicurean favorite on I-Drive, Uncle Julio's adds a scratch kitchen slant to Mexican fare. We loved the fajitas and the guacamole (which is prepared tableside) but the Chocolate Piñata is one of the wildest desserts in Orlando. Servers deliver a giant, suspended chocolate ball on a huge wooden tray and then the fun begins. Diners pick up sticks and whack away at their sweet orb until BOOM… the treasures inside drop.  What's left is a beautiful mess of broken chocolate, churros, strawberries, and pineapple ready to dip in house-made whip cream, caramel and strawberries sauce. Pretty ridiculously awesome!

What a great list! We love Mexican food, so we definitely need to go hit up Uncle Julio’s! Between the chocolate, strawberries, caramel and pineapple…that chocolate pinata is screaming my name ?

Yes, definitely give it a try! You are in for a treat!

Yum, those look tasty! Plus delicious and “instagrammable”
