The best way to cap off any dinner (put the cherry on top, if you will) is to follow it up with a yummy, sweet dessert. Now that we are entering the cold months that winter in Denver brings, ice cream and other cooler treats don't sound as appetizing as they do in warmer weather. Not to worry, though, as our city is full of wonderfully warm desserts that will heat you and your night up. Here are five of the best hot desserts you can find here in Denver.

Linger
2030 W. 30th Ave.
Denver, CO 80211
(303) 993-3120

Since its opening, Linger has quickly become one of the hottest restaurants in the Denver area. With a renowned rooftop view and a menu full of award-winning dishes, it's easy to see why. Their dessert menu is no exception. One of their choices is called "Baoghnuts," which are donuts that are steamed and fried, and served with spice almonds and basil cherries. It's a unique take on a popular dessert that will leave your mouth watering for more.

Pinche Tacos
1514 York St.
Denver, CO 80206
(720) 475-1337

Tacos aren't the only thing this taqueria has to offer. Along with stiff cocktails and award-winning entrees, Pinche Tacos is home to some of the best churros in the city. They are handcrafted and served with a Mexican hot chocolate dipping sauce which compliments the cinnamon and sugar wonderfully. They're the perfect way to finish up a deliciously authentic Mexican feast.

D-Bar Denver
494 E 19th Ave.
Denver, CO 80203
(303) 861-4710

D-Bar Denver is the prime place to go in the city for sweet treats. Food Network celebrity chef Keegan Gerhard and his team specialize in dessert, and it truly shows in their work, as everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. They have year-round staples, as well as seasonal creations guaranteed to leave you satisfied. One that is especially delicious is the "Molten Cake Thingy That Everyone Has." It's similar to any other hot lava cake dish, only fixed up with raspberry compote, chocolate sauce, chocolate dentelle, and served with pistachio ice cream.

Steakhouse 10
3517 S Elati St.
Englewood, CO 80110
(303) 789-0911

One of the better steakhouses in the city, Steakhouse 10 is home to top-of-the-line meats, seafood, wine and cocktails. But what some people are not necessarily aware of is that they also have amazing desserts, specifically the Xaengo Cheesecake — a cheesecake wrapped in a flour tortilla and deep fried, served with cinnamon and sugar. It's a different way to prepare a popular treat, however, it's downright delectable.

Crave Denver
891 14th St.
Denver, CO 80202
(303) 586-4199

Another restaurant known for their sweet creations, Crave Denver has many appetizing choices. One of their more popular desserts is the "Campfire S'Mores." Typically, s'mores are reserved for camping trips and backyard fires, however, Crave's version really takes this traditional treat to a whole new level. They're served with graham cracker cake, a horchata marshmallow square, toasted marshmallow ice cream, mocha truffle and smoked vanilla spheres among other delicacies. Treat yourself to some of these after enjoying a savory entree, or nibble on them while sipping one of their amazing, handcrafted cocktails.
