All The Best of South Florida

Tonight, the Best of South Florida could be hazardous to your diet. So if you're in the mood for a late night snack, get ready for Must Eat-TV. 7's Shireen Sandoval is here to show us the Most Delicious Desserts in Town.

(WSVN) -- Strawberries, hot fudge, whip cream...Don't be shy, dig in.

"There's always room for ice cream."

But you better save a whole lot of room at Our Number 3 Pick -- Jaxson's in Dania.

"You think it's going to be a little tiny scoop, and that's what it is."

What it is a hearty helping... Topped off with something special

"You just come here, have a great time with your family, sit down, and just eat some ice cream."

"It takes me back."

And after 48 years in the biz, these people know how to make the name "Jaxson's" music to your ears.

"I like Jaxson's because they have really good ice cream."

"They all want to be part of Jaxson's."

Well if you want to be a part of something special, then head on over to Our Viewer's 2nd Choice Swensen's in South Miami.

"It's delicious ice cream, portions are excellent, prices are right, I like it here."

What's not to like?

At Swenson's, you can have it all including the World Famous Earthquake Sundae.

"They have an enormous selection of flavors."

"We have everything, we have everything here."

And that's no exaggeration...

Whether you want to add toppings or take away the sugar, just don't "wafer" over what to order.

"It's always good and they always have the best stuff here."

"Probably has the best ice cream in South Miami."

But if you're looking for the very Best Dessert in South Florida, our viewer's say to head over to the Cheesecake Factory in Coconut Grove.

"Its delicious, it's the best cheesecake in town."

Whether you like it with fruit or with chocolate, this place knows a good cheesecake can sweeten any relationship...

"Our deserts, especially our cheesecakes, leave you with a feeling of just wow."

That wow sensation actually starts at a young age.

"It's really rich and it's really soft and creamy, it's the best."

But remember, the Cheesecake Factory is also known its super-sized meals, so make sure you save room for dessert.

"You come, you have your food, you eat half of it, so you can have cheesecake."

Talk about priorities.

You better hurry, these cakes are going, going, gone.

"Calories only count if you count them."
