Title image for Desserts Around the World

Everyone loves a sweet (or savory) treat!

In fact, desserts often play a central role in many of life’s sweetest moments, whether it’s a slice of cake for one’s birthday or a traditional treat to celebrate a religious holiday. Desserts are rooted in tradition and have the power to bring people together, create memories, and, most importantly, taste good!

Come explore some popular mouth-watering desserts from around the world in this article and the companion video below. Do they share any similarities with your favorite sweet treat?

Cannoli (Italy)

A Cannoli is a tube-shaped shell of fried pastry dough filled with a sweet, creamy filling containing ricotta cheese, sugar, and things like nuts, fruits, chocolate chips, and more! They are originally from Sicily and have become quite popular around the world.

Malabi (Israel)

This Israeli dessert is a milk-based pudding made with rosewater, giving it a unique taste. It is served cold with a special sweet syrup and can be topped with fruit, coconut, cinnamon, and more! Versions of Malabi are widespread in Iran, Turkey, Syria, and other Middle Eastern countries.

Chebakia (Morocco)

This beautiful pastry is made of dough rolled to resemble a rose. It is then deep-fried, coated with a syrup usually made of honey and orange blossom water, and finished off with sesame. This dessert is typically consumed during Ramadan.

Shakoy (Philippines)

Also known as “lubid-lubid” since it looks like a rope, this dessert is a Filipino version of a donut that is twisted, fried, and then coated in sugar. 

Dasik (Korea)

These Korean tea cookies are made with finely ground all-natural ingredients like grains, sesame seeds, and even green tea! The ingredients are mixed with honey and pressed into small cookies engraved with images that symbolize wishes for good luck, long life, beauty, happiness, or health. They are significant in Korean culture and are often served to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
