I was raised by a father who loved to have a bite of something sweet after dinner. So while we didn't have dessert every night, it was a frequent treat at our table and often used as an incentive to finish up our vegetables. But these days I'm less inclined towards sweets at night, preferring them in the early afternoon with a cup of tea.

I never have dessert after dinner, but I have something sweet after lunch every single day. I just find that dessert late in the evening makes for an unpleasant pre-bed blood sugar spike.
I have a sweet treat every single night, but it's SMALL! A petite cookie, a piece of chocolate, a few spoonfulls of pudding, etc.
Never, unless I have people over. Just not that excited by sweets. Give me a cheese plate every time.
My dad has ice cream after dinner every single night. It took me YEARS to break the habit and be able to skip dessert after dinner. Now I mostly just have it on special occasions, though I do occasionally buy my own ice cream. :)
I know most people would laugh at my idea of desert but every night I finish my meal with 1 or 2 prunes or dates. They are so sweet that it never fails to satisfy.
We never really do dessert in my family (or when I was growing up) Late night snacks are more common (near bedtime me wanting to whip up cookies or something, but usually only on weekends)
I don't really do sweets at all--just not my thing (I prefer bready and salty treats). The only time I do "dessert" is when we are at someone's house--I will take a bite or two and leave the rest for my husband.
My Dad also loved ice cream when I was growing up and I find myself thinking of dessert just about every night, even if I don't always have some. For me it's usually ice cream or leftovers from something I baked (pie!).
I do love something sweet after dinner, but most nights, it's not a sweet, just something sweet: a piece of fruit, a chunk of dark chocolate, a cup of lemon tea with a scatter of sugar mixed in, a tiny glass of sambuca. I don't want something every day, but when I do, it's a pleasant little punctuation mark on the evening.
Oh man, dessert every night for sure. And, if I'm totally honest, sometimes it's dessert instead of dinner. Like brulee'd french toast. But I have the worst sweet tooth of anyone I've ever met.
I have dessert frequently, but it's not usually WITH dinner, so much as way AFTER dinner.
My family has never really done dessert, and I'm kind of baffled by the idea of eating it daily. We have pie on holidays, but it's hours after the other food, with games and sometimes a walk around the block in between, and hardly counts as the same meal. And that's lunch rather than dinner anyway.
Lit candles at the dinner table, something sweet after--every night.
i dont know that i eat "dessert" every night, but i usually want something sweet, be it a small handful of chocolate chips, a popsicle, etc.
In Chile, we just have a cup of sliced fruit after meals. Every now and again, if we were good kids, our nanny would put a little manjar (dulce de leche) on our bananas or apples or sprinkle a little sugar on our sliced pears :)
Sometimes dessert as dinner.
If I want something sweet I generally eat some fruit OR more likely a small piece of 70% dark chocolate. Gives me that sweet fix without the guilt!
