The Most Delicious Desserts Around the World

It’s not just me who thinks about dessert right after a good meal, right?

There have been many desserts that have stood out for their choice of ingredients, cooking process and most importantly taste.

Here are some of the most delicious desserts you can find and eat around the world.

Cannoli

An all-time classic with Sicilian roots, Cannoli is a crispy pastry roll filled with ricotta.

In the past, this was served at Easter, but now it can be taken anywhere.

There have been some variations especially in the Middle East where they add citrus fruit or nuts.

Some chefs also splash white wine into the mix as a secret ingredient.

Tiramisu

Popular and beloved around the world, Tiramisu means “pick me up.”

Made in Italy, it is lady sponge fingers dipped in coffee, topped with mascarpone cheese and cocoa sprinkled on top.

Many catering venues add liqueur to the dessert although it is not supposed to.

Creme Brulee

This French delicacy is one of the simplest desserts you can find but it is also difficult to master it.

It is crucial that the custard inside is soft but firm and the suggar topping is crisp.

New York Cheesecake

Despite being an American dessert, cheesecakes originally come from German and ancient roots.

While there have been many successful variations of the recipe it was William Chester a New York farmer who mastered it.

Philadelphia cream cheese is the key ingredient with crumbled crackers filling the base and jellied strawberries topping the cake.

Rum cake

This dessert has existed since it entered the Caribbean with the English Royal Navy.

Back then, biscuits were soaked in rum but they have been replaced with dense sponge cakes.

Tortuga Caribbean Rum Cake is the most popular dessert brand and has dominated the globe since its 1987 launch.

Mochi

Japan’s food strikes on camera and the same applies to Mochi, their go-to dessert.

It is made by pounding short grain rice and they call this process the mochitsuki.

It is then turned into a rice ball stuffed with sweet red bean paste or ice cream.

Rice is also coloured with other food dyes, primarily with green tea powder.

Sticky Toffee Pudding

This British winter delight is a soft sponge filled with chopped dates, covered in caramelised sauce and served with steamy vanilla custard.

Baklava

This Turkish layered dessert is structured with a filo pastry, chopped nuts, tons of honey and sugary syrup.

Walnuts or pistacchios are the chopped nuts you will usually find, however there are several alternatives made in other countries.

Oliebollen

This Dutch donut has the size of a billiard ball and is a traditional New Year’s Eve treat in the country.

It is normally served hot, has sugar on top and the filling is raisins and nuts.

Oliebollens are also sold at food stalls when the holiday season isn’t at its peak.

Pasteis De Nata

These are Portuguese egg tarts that were first made by nuns in the 16th century.

In the country, locals eat this in the morning along with a cup of coffee with cinnamon on the side.
