Arkansas Favorite Desserts


Return to Desserts index
↠ Arkansas Possum Pie:
Description  Arkansas Possum Pie is a beloved, "no-bake" layered dessert hailing from Arkansas, known for having a funny name that hides its true identity. Despite its name, it contains no animal products and instead consists of distinct, creamy layers of flavor.

↠ Arkansas Black Apple Pudding Cake:
Description  The Arkansas Black Apple Pudding Cake is a rustic, old-fashioned Southern dessert that highlights the unique qualities of the Arkansas Black apple—a tart, firm, and deeply colored apple that sweetens in storage. This cake is characterized by a "pudding" texture, referring to a dense, moist, and often gooey base rather than a custard, which is frequently topped with a crunchy or crackly layer.

↠ Company's Comin' Pie:
Description  Company's Comin' Pie is a famous, retro Southern dessert originating from the Cliff House Inn in Jasper, Arkansas. It is characterized as a "sweet and salty" pie with a unique, crunchy texture.

↠ Dutch Oven Cobbler:
Description  A Dutch oven cobbler is a rustic,,gooey, and comforting fruit dessert traditionally baked over hot campfire coals in a heavy cast-iron pot, though easily made in a home oven. It is renowned for its simplicity, typically featuring a bottom layer of sweet, bubbly fruit filling (like peach, cherry, or berry) topped with a contrasting layer of cake-like, biscuit, or "dump cake" style topping that becomes golden brown and crisp on top while staying moist underneath.

↠ Ozark Pudding:
Description  Ozark Pudding is a traditional, rustic American dessert originating from the Ozark Mountain region of Missouri and Arkansas. Famous as a favorite dessert of President Harry S. Truman, it is best described as a cross between a crisp, a cake, and a custard-filled pie.
