There are desserts, and then there are comfort food desserts that warm the soul and leave you deeply satisfied. Snuggle up with one of our 15 warming bread puddings, cobblers, crisps, custards, and gooey chocolate desserts that will hit the spot!

Comfort food desserts are different for every person. In New England, Boston cream pie might be comfort food, but in Georgia, it may be a peach cobbler. To us, it’s any decadent dessert that makes you feel like you are indulging, and, yes, it is usually warming, creamy, and/or chocolatey!
