Idaho Favorite Desserts


Return to Desserts index
↠ Huckleberry Cobbler:
Description  Huckleberry cobbler is a traditional, rustic American dessert featuring a bubbly, deep-purple filling of tart wild huckleberries topped with a rustic, golden-brown crust. It is often described as a "sloppy scoop of summer" that balances the intense, wine-rich flavor of the berries with a sweet, biscuit-like topping.

↠ Ice Cream Potato:
Description  The Idaho Ice Cream Potato is a popular, whimsical dessert that looks exactly like a loaded baked potato. It consists of a large scoop of vanilla ice cream hand-molded into a potato shape, rolled in cocoa powder for a "skin" effect, and topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and nuts or cookie crumbs.

↠ Chocolate Potato Cake:
Description  A Chocolate Potato Cake is a, rich, and intensely moist, old-fashioned dessert that utilizes mashed potatoes as a key ingredient to create a unique texture. Despite the unusual ingredient, the cake does not taste like potatoes; instead, the starch from the potatoes provides a dense, fudgy, and velvety crumb that prevents the cake from drying out.

↠ Basque Cake:
Description  Gâteau Basque (Basque Cake) is a traditional, rustic dessert originating from the Northern Basque region (specifically France). It is characterized by a firm, buttery, shortbread-like pastry crust (pâte sablée) that encases a creamy filling, typically either almond/vanilla pastry cream or black cherry jam.

↠ Frog Eye Salad:
Description  Frog Eye Salad is a, sweet, creamy, and retro "dessert salad" (sometimes served as a side dish) that gained popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly within the Midwestern United States and the Mormon Corridor. It is often served at potlucks, BBQs, and holiday gatherings like Thanksgiving and Easter.
