Vanilla Cheesecake "In A Jar". Raspberry compote, graham crackers. 

this, hands down.  its at Ocean Blue.   if they still have it, teh chocolate napoleon thingy at LeBistro is very good, and i still lament about the Oreo Cheesecake at Cagneys being discontinued.....

I didn't know this was a previous dessert. It sounds yummy! I'm now firmly in the camp of whyyyyy did they discontinue the Oreo Cheesecake. Mmmmm!

Love the chocolate lava cake in the MDR and my dessert-of-choice in Cagney's is the raspberry creme brulee, but I'm going to have to try that cheesecake in a jar.❤️🎂🍮

Another vote for the chocolate lava cake in the MDR.

A close second is the apple tart ala mode in Palomar.

The chocolate cake in the Haven Restaurant!

Same here!

Cagneys layer cake or the 5 ( 7?) spice cake in Chin Chin.   Although on the Joy last month the Tirimisu in the dining room was really good.  Headed out on the Jewel next week and planning on having all of these

Oh my! THAT is my kind of sundae! Becuase I tend to not like their cakes I often order ice cream, but it's always a plain old scoop. Wish this could be on the MDR menu, or somewhere else.

While not the best banana pudding I've ever had, the banana pudding at Q is really good once you decapitate that nasty, hardened meringue:

 

 

The chocolate cake from Haven is scrumptious! Very yummy and not too, too rich. Again, you gotta decapitate that nasty caramel disc before enjoying the dessert.

 

And I love baked meringue and caramel disks. I would eat all that garnish and just pick at the rest!

I can't eat sugar and was pleasantly surprised at all the no added sugar desserts on the Pride of America...I hope the Encore also has them.

I wasn’t familiar with NAS acronym and made the mistake of trying the NAS chocolate cake in the buffet… never again.  Also avoid the cupcakes from cocoa, too dry. 

another vote for the chocolate lava cake in the MDR, closely followed by the scooped sorbet and sherbet in the buffet.

My vote is for the Green Tea Jar at Food Republic. Brownie, green tea mousse, and cookie crumble. I'm afraid I didn't take pictures, but it was one of the best desserts I've had on a cruise.

OMG Caramel Butterscotch Cheesecake, to be complete...

Ooooo now that I see you guys saying this is so good, I’ll have to try it next time. I always go for the chocolate cake, but after my discovery on my last Getaway cruise that if we order room service, it’s the same cake as Cagney’s, I can afford to branch out.

 

I am not a fan of NCL desserts generally speaking (I do bravely persevere to try to find ones I like lol), but I have always loved the lava cake! Nothing exciting or fancy but 🤤 so good! And the pleasant surprise last cruise was how much I enjoyed the banana caramel meringue tart from Moderno.

I'm jumping back in remembering another favorite of mine - Peanut Butter Cheesecake from the MDR lunch menu. I scout this out, because it is the best! And I actually found a photo this time.

These desserts look great. If you’re staying in the haven and you want one of these will they serve it to you in the haven restaurant without an additional charge if you request it?

Yes, although only been on one NCL (Epic) cruise so far, best dessert I had was the 5 Spice chocolate cake in Shanghai's - totally delicious, and quite a surprise.

The only possible answer, IMO, is the 7- layer chocolate cake at Cagney’s.

I was on the Escape in September and the MDR Tiramisu was excellent. I broke my low carb diet whenever I saw it on the menu. I was so excited that I took a bite before realizing I wanted to take the photo. Hence, the fork tracks.
