The US and North America may do desserts well, after all, we’ve got huge portions of food from many different walks of live. However, other countries do desserts pretty amazing as well, especially our friends down under.
Some of these desserts many people may never even heard of. If you’re visiting and traveling, you must know the best desserts available so you can more fully experience these countries. And besides, who doesn’t like delicious bits of heaven?
So, what are the famed best desserts on this list?
Anzac Biscuits
Although these aren’t exactly a dessert, they’re like a cookie, which is kind of like a dessert. The beauty of these biscuits is they’re so adaptable. Want one after dinner? Great. One with your tea? It goes splendidly. Just want to snack on yummy food? An Anzac bikkie is your friend.
Lamington
You couldn’t have a list of best desserts in Australia and not include the lamington. This is by far the most popular and most beloved Australian dessert. The bad news is if you don’t like coconut, you certainly aren’t going to love a lamington.
This iconic Australian dessert is pretty much a fluffy sponge cake that’s been dipped in melted chocolate and then covered in shredded coconut. You can also get a lamington with some jam or cream in the middle of two slices. Top of the list of best desserts in Australia.
Caramel Slice
These desserts go by many names. Caramel slice, millionaire slice, etc. but ultimately it’s all the same, delicious dessert. Easily one of the best desserts in Australia, this has a shortbread base, a huge layer of caramel and then a smaller layer of hardened chocolate on top.
Are you salivating yet? We know, it sounds delicious. The best part about this dessert is that you can find it just about anywhere and usually at very reasonable prices.
Fairy Bread
Although this dessert is very common for children and birthday parties, that doesn’t mean adults don’t get to indulge in it every so often as well. Think of it as white bread with butter, sugar and colorful sprinkles on top. Sound a bit much? Well, it is, but it sure is colorful and delicious. If not a bit bad for your health. But this is about the best desserts in Australia because they’re delicious, not because they’ll help you lose 30 pounds.
Iced VoVo
Kind of similar to the Tim Tam, this Australian biscuit/cookie is a sweet butter cookie with lots of shredded coconut on top. These are popular for after dinner and during tea, Australians prefer an Iced VoVo over something like an Oreo.
These are some of the best desserts around and there are so many more we wouldn’t even have time to list. Don’t miss out when you’re traveling and be sure to get the full experience.
