Dessert is the most important meal of the day, depending on who you ask. Ice cream and chocolate chip cookies are classics, but they're far from the only sweet snacks out there. There are all kinds of weird, wonderful, and wild desserts around the world. From France's crème brûlée to Turkey's baklava, these international desserts are just waiting to be devoured.
In America, we tend to favor sweet desserts: things that are drenched in chocolate or covered in sugar. From apple pie to chocolate cakes, sweetness rules when it comes to American desserts. That isn't the case everywhere, though. In some countries, desserts are made more savory than sweet, more refreshing than heavy. Many places around the world favor light and refreshing desserts, while others will eat desserts consisting of things that we associate more with breakfast foods.
Desserts in other countries can be marvelous, baffling, and irresistible, and this list is chock full of them.
Nanaimo bars are named after the Canadian city of Nanaimo. They require no baking and are simply bars of crispy wafers topped with custardy butter icing with delicious melted chocolate on top.
Banoffee pie is superior to banana cream pie in two ways. First, its crust is typically more of a crumble. Second, it usually contains toffee and sometimes chocolate. Everything tastes better with toffee and chocolate.
