This post will be the place where I add all the desserts I have come across.

A jam jam with tea.
|
Jam jams, one of the Newfoundland trademark, are soft spice and molasses cookies which contain a gushy amount of jam sandwiched in between the two cookies, where one cookie has a hole in the middle exposing the jam delight.

Bear Claw Cookies are again molasses and spice cookies, soft, but slightly chewy. Apparently, molasses is a very popular ingredient here in Newfoundland. I am not sure if these are specific to Newfoundland or just in my town here in Springdale, but they are a common treat in the household along with Black Bottom Muffins, which are cupcake shaped brownie cheese cakes.

| Lemon pie and Sex in a pan. |
Another kind of dessert which everyone seems to know about here is the Sex in a Pan cake/ pie. I am not sure if it has a cake status or a pie status, since it is similar to a cream pie, but I suppose if it is baked in a quadrilateral shaped pan instead of a circular pan, it can be called cake instead of pie. This dessert has a shortbread-like crust as a base, with the option of having pecan bits, a layer of cream cheese and whip cream, then a layer of chocolate pudding, then vanilla pudding, and finally more whipped cream to top it off. It is indeed quite sinful.

| Partridge berry pudding |
Partridge berries are common to Newfoundland and are small red berries, half the size of a cranberry, and tart much like one too.
