The dessert that Oregon is known for is marionberry pie.

Marionberry pie is Oregon's state dessert and is named after the state of Oregon's signature marionberry, which is a type of blackberry that is developed in Oregon.

Marionberry is also a traditional comfort food that is eaten and enjoyed throughout the state of Oregon in pies, tarts and other desserts.

The marionberry is a specific cultivar of blackberry and was created in Oregon at the Oregon State University and is now also grown predominantly in the state of Oregon.

Marionberries also have a complex flavor which is dark, sweet, floral and earthy and due to marionberries having a short shelf life, they are also often frozen immediately after they are harvested, which makes them great for baking into pies and other desserts.

Key lime pie is also another popular dessert in Oregon.

Key lime pie is a Floridian dessert pie and is made from Key lime juice, egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk.

The key lime pie can be served with no topping, with whipped cream or with a meringue topping that is made from egg whites.

Key lime pie is also traditionally made using a graham cracker crust.
