Mango sticky rice

Sweet mango, sticky rice and salty coconut sauce, served on a banana leaf: mango sticky rice is our favorite Thai dessert. If you’re in northern Thailand, you absolutely have to eat this. If you’re not going to be nearby anytime soon, simply make it yourself at home.

You don’t have to do anything at all for this ultimate rice dessert. And it costs just 29 cents.  

Sweet potato cheesecake

Sweet potato in your cheesecake? Oh yeah. Although it’s a sweet potato, we don’t often use it in sweet dishes. But it works incredibly well in this dessert, especially with a thick layer of chocolate ganache.

Creamy nut butter ice cream

Making your own ice cream is really cool and not complicated at all. Like this creamy ice cream with peanut butter as its base. Serve it with caramel sauce for the ultimate ice cream dessert.

Crispy pear crumble with ginger

Warm fruit and ice cream are a perfect match. Especially in the form of a crumble. This pear crumble with ginger is an easy dessert for a weeknight, but it can also be served as a festive dessert.

Crema catalana

This dessert is a perfect combination of crisp and creamy. The crack of the sugar layer on a crema catalana is our favorite sound, and the custard underneath is to die for. We’d happily eat this every day.

Burrata dessert

Burrata only in savory dishes? No way. In this dessert, we combine creamy burrata with sweet strawberry coulis and basil ice cream. If you’re a burrata fan too, you definitely have to try this.
