SugarBomber: Boston's Most Wanted Desserts

BRICCO'S SIGNATURE BREAD PUDDING: "This is one of the lightest bread puddings I've ever had. Leaning toward the custard side, it is served with brulee'd bananas on top and with a banana gelato. Also the caramel sauce is on the thinner side, which is how I like to make it at home." - Valerie, There's Always Room For Dessert

KEY LIME PIE: "Despite my sweet tooth, I'm generally pie-averse due to my suspicion of all things jelly-like or whipped (which pretty much eliminates 90 percent of pies, when you couple that with my distaste for nuts). So perhaps the reason I liked Burtons Grill's version of key lime is because it's quite unpie-like. Instead of a traditional crust, a crispy graham cracker shell contains the pie filling, a tart and surprisingly stiff lime mousse. I was so impressed by the robust consistency of the filling that I didn't even mind the dollop of meringue that topped it all off." - Lena Chen, The Chicktionary

CAYENNE MANGO ICE CREAM: "A more insidious speed-gulping consequence than brain freeze? Tongue burn. This sunny iteration of Tosci's unbelievably creamy and potently flavored handmade ice-cream (among yerba mate, sour cream and Guinness on the unpredictable menu) sings at first of tropical sunsets and ripe mango juice dripping down your wrists. Aloha! However, you'll soon find yourself fire-breathing, as the pepper's presence escalates on the palate. It's a bracing, barbed, pins-and-needles kind of heat, which simultaneously makes your teeth tingle and mind boggle. But just like one keeps calm around bees and snakes, bide your time--you ARE the pepper whisperer. Tame that scoop!" - Christine Liu, City Editor

BACON BOURBON BROWNIE SUNDAE: "This isn't your typical brownie sundae, but rather one with delicious bits of bacon! The bacon is fried, chopped up, and then baked with the brownie...genius." - Keyse, SugarBomber Guest
