It is hard to narrow down the best desserts in the world. Every single one of them is a masterpiece in its own right. If you are fortunate enough to travel to Italy, you will see for yourself how differently these desserts are prepared and enjoyed. The most common ingredients are heavy cream, nuts, chocolate and fruit flavors.
- One of the oldest recipes in existence dates back to prehistoric times. Known as a “sticky date,” it was invented in Naples in the 14th century and has now made its way all over the world. The basic recipe is very simple, consisting of almonds, honey, and vanilla. While this may seem very basic, it can be made with many interesting recipes and flavors, making it the best dessert in the world. In fact, when it first began appearing on menus, the sticky date became known for being an expensive dessert.
- While the sticky date may not be as popular as it once was, it is still a top seller in the Middle East. Another dessert that originated in the Middle East is Baklava. Called also by various names, such as mulled wine, ras el Khomous and ras el Hleb (the sweet bread), it is a type of Middle Eastern bread that is baked on an open fire. Baklava can vary greatly depending on its recipe, but typically contains nuts, raisins, and sometimes dates or pistachios. Baklava can also come in a variety of different styles, such as sweet almonds, honey almonds,s and glazed. In addition, it has also become popular in the United States, thanks to fast food chains and restaurants.
- When it comes to nut-filled desserts, nothing beats the delicious and delectable Nutella. While it is commonly associated with Nutella candy, it is actually a very simple dessert. All it takes is chocolate, sugar, eggs, and cream. You do not even need a mixer because the mixture simply spreads out on the cupcake like a pudding.
- Pudding, another favorite of the Middle Eastern people, is made from potatoes, dates, and cream. The ingredients combine to form this thick pudding which is then blended until it reaches the desired thickness. A traditional malva pudding recipe usually has vanilla, honey or brown sugar as the basic ingredients. The consistency of this delicious dessert is moister than that of other recipes, which is what gives it a slightly pudding-like texture. It is considered a favorite at mealtime and is often served as a dessert following a meal or dessert.
To make a dessert more tempting, you may want to add some fresh fruit to it. Lemon is always a good choice as it adds a nice amount of flavor, especially if it is coupled with a small amount of sugar. You can use dried fruits as well, but try to avoid using lumpy ones because they tend to be less flavorful.
