Desserts: What do you want?

Trying to write a dessert menu seems to have me stumped. I keep trying to figure out what it is that people want for dessert. I don't eat many desserts, but love to make them. I tend to fill up on the entrees/apps so there isn't much left.
Yesterday I made a dessert pizza. We have the stone oven at Brookstone Grille and I'm thinking why not?
I took one of our doughs and rolled it out thin, brushed it with whole butter, then spread a vanilla mascarpone cheese layer on the dough. I sprinkled it with dark brown sugar, then chunks of white chocolate,like I was spreading cheese on a pizza. I tossed that into the 600 oven for about 5 minutes but left the dough a little under cooked (like fried dough texture).
Topped it with fresh strawberries and it was delicious.
Question would you buy it or is it to out there?
