Probably blueberry-something. But if it's listed, it's unofficial.

The area of Jersey where we live,ages ago used to have Blueberry Farms...still find them growing wild in woods and such,,,Yes,I'd agree, it must be something with our Unofficial frit, the blueberry!!!

You'd think NJ being the Garden State, they would "pick" something from the garden, and make a nice dessert.

Chilies

Ah, very quick and ker-rect!

Now, NM has chile chocolate (red chile in chocolate bars), chile jam (red or green of course) chile sprinkled over fresh fruit, and many other chile desserts, tho biscochitos (no chile) is still the "official" endorsed dessert...

Everyone else must have stepped away for a snack for me to be the first one to answer......

Growing up in Iowa as a kid, I would have thought it a (cherry/berry/apricot/poppy seed) kolache. They showed up every church, school, family function my entire childhood. Mom is 100% Czech.

Yeah, in Canada we have provinces. "States" sounds weird. In the province of Nova Scotia apple crisp would be the official dessert.

Caraway Cookie? Never heard of it. I think the NY State Cookie should be the "Black and White" cookie. (Sold in Germany as the "American").

Blackout Cake = Ebingers.
Nesslerode = somehow I remember that...

It's about that time of year when Kern Bakery starts threatening lawsuits over their trademarked Derby Pie. A lot of commercial outfits make them and make the mistake of labeling them "Derby Pie". A number of years ago, Kroger started calling theirs "Pegasus Pie". No matter what you call them, they are good.

I don't think Louisiana has a state dessert, but it could be any number of them, depending on what part of the state your'e from - creme brulee, bananas Foster, bread pudding, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, (my vote would be for Frank Brigtsen's strawberry shortcake).

Chewy, crispy, piping hot pillows of delectable dough. It's Indian fry bread, one of many time-honored treats introduced by Native Americans to Southwestern culture. When it comes to preparing the official state dish of Arizona, no one does it better than Cecelia Miller at Fry Bread House in Central Phoenix. A member of the Tohono O'odham tribe, Miller makes fry bread the way she learned from her mother while growing up on the reservation. Miller makes hers from scratch, first hand-stretching, then frying it so that it's a virtually greaseless golden brown puff peeking through a soft veil of pure vegetable oil then drizzled with Honey and powdered sugar.

I looked up our state symbols, and North Carolina doesn't have an official dessert. But logic tells me that if we had one, it would almost have to be Banana Pudding. I don't believe I've ever been to a meat-and-three type of place here where banana pudding wasn't a choice for dessert. Ditto for pot luck dinners and family reunions. Also, most Baptist churches here have an annual event that's called Homecoming Sunday. The idea is to invite former members who have married, moved, or left for any other reason back, to visit their "home" church, and feed them a huge lunch. After everyone has eaten, there is an afternoon of music. A NC Homecoming Sunday would not be complete without several large pans of homemade banana pudding in the dessert section of the groaning board.
