I wholesale desserts to local Restaurants in my area. Any ideas for some "new" fall desserts that haven't been done to death?

Please...no pumpkin cheese cake or pumpkin creme brulee...NEW ideas only please.:lips:

What about apple or pear tarte tatin?
Hazelnut orange tart- torte noccielli?
Baked sugar pumpkins with (fill in the blank) custard inside?
Apple lattice tart?
Mexican chocolate cake?
hot chocolate creme brulee?
Baked apples served warm with vanilla ice cream and carmel- Apple sundae?
Molasses skillet cake?
candied quince clafoutis?
any kind of fig tart? fig "newton" type filling, fressh figs on top?

I could come up with about 100 more, just think out of the box.
If I see pumpkin cheesecake on one more menu I am going to hurl.

I'm going to post my fall menu for critique next, maybe that will give you some ideas.

ok...now a new twist. I have three restraunts wanting "signature" menus'.....all in the same beach town.....one is a mom and pop family diner. The other two are high end eateries. The mom and pop place is easy.....but two resorts with completely different menu's is challenging. Exciting for me me though!! Thanks peoples!!!!:chef:

I do a fall dessert I call mac 'n' cheese that involves a stilton cheesecake (yes, it's sweet), a walnut-sucanat shortbread and caramelized mcintosh apples.

Huckleberries are really going crazy here now. I'm thinking of doing a huckleberry bread pudding with a white chocolate rum sauce... (using my day old cinnamon rolls from my coffee shop).

I've also decided on a Pear Tarte Tatin with Vanilla and Ginger
and
a Caramel Granny Smith apple pie

I also think I'l do a brandy snap cup with home made honey ice cream

Anyway...that's the beginnings of my menu.
:crazy:

I make a warm ginger cake. It is a variation of a sticky toffee pudding with grated, ground and candied ginger in it. It is so good!

tiramisu

what about a pumpkin tiramisu, using frangelico and pumpkin
layering it with pound cake and spiced coffee?

or a pumpkin trifle with caramelized pears.
