Lesson Activities

Hi, I am Olivia. I'm from Washington DC right now. I live in London, and my question is, what kind of dessert do I like?

I love so many different desserts. Dessert is honestly my favorite thing to eat. I pretty much eat dinner and lunch so that I can have dessert. That's like number one priority for me. So the list is long, but my favorite desserts, if I had to pick them, would be a chocolate fudge brownie, specifically fudge, because I like it to be very gooey and moist.

I like a chocolate chip cookie. A chocolate chip cookie is classic. You can't go wrong. Pretty much every bakery I go to, I will always get a chocolate chip cookie. I know it's going to be good. I prefer it when they're soft, but I don't mind a hard chocolate, chocolate chip cookie every once in a while.

Gosh, I love cheesecake so much. I like the way it's cooked both ways. So a bask cheesecake and their traditional cheesecake. And I love cheesecake with different flavors, like a chocolate marble cheesecake, a biscoff cheesecake, a lemon cheesecake. You can't go wrong. Ice cream a classic. I love ice cream. I eat ice cream even in the winter. I love cake in general. Birthday cake is fantastic.

I don’t—there's not many desserts that I hate, but in my opinion, I think desserts should be more indulgent. So like a fruit dessert, I'm not as interested in. That to me is like a healthy-ish snack. I want want chocolate basically. So yeah, there's my long list of desserts. There's plenty more where that came from.
