My favorite unofficial meal of the day is definitely dessert! I have such a major sweet tooth, and I'm always searching for new ways to satisfy it. That's why I love trying international desserts, so that I never get bored with the same old cookies and cakes I grew up with. Here are a few of my favorite desserts from around the world, as well as some that I'm dying to try!
This baked pudding has a flavor like sticky toffee pudding. All pudding lovers should try this South African dessert!
Just looking at this picture makes my mouth water and thirst for summer!
These German cookies are shortbread cookies made with browned butter, which gives them an even more delectable flavor.
Mandazi are East African doughnuts that are so light and fluffy they nearly melt in your mouth.
Tiramisu comes from the Italian phrase for "pick me up” because it hits you with a burst of caffeine and sugar to keep you going.
Vietnamese bánh cam, or fried sesame balls, look savory but are actually sweet and delicious.
I love American cheesecake, so I can't wait to try Japanese cheesecake!
Sopapillas can be served savory or sweet, but I especially love them sweet! Drizzle honey on top and sprinkle powdered sugar and you have a simple yet tasty dessert!
Any fan of Downton Abbey would love to try this traditional British dessert!
Fried Mantou is a Chinese steamed bread. Coated in condensed milk it makes an amazing dessert!
Baklava doesn't have just one country to call its home, but comes from the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. Perhaps its spectacular flavor is a result of coming from so many different places!
These aren't the basic doughnut holes you buy from your local coffee shop! Loukoumades are golden, crispy Greek doughnuts topped with honey, walnuts, and cinnamon.
I love Mexican wedding cookies because they aren't too sweet, but just sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth after a savory meal.
This cake is traditional in the south of the United States. It must taste like hospitality! I can't wait to try it.
Just like the name suggests, this cake was first made for the royal family in Sweden. Now, you can feel like a princess while you enjoy this decadent layered cake coated in marzipan.
This looks something I would have turned up my nose at when I was a picky little girl—which is why I know I'd love it now! Pudding with pistachios—what's not to love?
Try not to get addicted to these Peruvian cookies!
I've been wanting to try this Turkish dessert ever since I watched the Chronicles of Narnia when I was younger! (Edmund was obsessed with Turkish delights!) They're chewy, nutty, and citrusy! An interesting combination, but somehow it works.
With traditional Indian flavors like yogurt and mango in a mousse, you really can't go wrong.
This Russian dessert combines two of my favorite foods: hazelnuts and strawberries! It's a great dessert to serve at parties.
I love this Moroccan cake! It's perfect for when you're craving something extremely sweet.
These Balkan pastries may look like Twinkies, but trust me they are so much better! They're basically sweet fried dough soaked in syrup. Delicious!
These are just a few, but I know that there are so many more delicious desserts from around the world! What are some of your favorites?
