dessert

Tag details

Dessert is the final, sweet course served as the conclusion to a meal. It usually consists of a baked confection such as cake, pie, cookies, or pastry. It might also be a dairy-based dish such as ice cream, yogurt, pudding or custard. All of these dishes may be served with fruit; sometimes fruit and/or cheese or nuts are served as a dessert course instead of an elaborate sweet dish.

Dessert is known as afters, sweet or pudding in parts of Great Britain. The word dessert is from the French "desservir," which means "to clear the table." In many Asian countries, dessert is only served on special holidays, or as a separate snack. In North America and Europe, though, dessert is often the high point of a meal.

Many food blogs are devoted entirely to desserts in general, or specific types of dessert, such vegan sweets. The popular blog Cake Wrecks shows the humorous side of professional dessert-making gone wrong. To make sure that your desserts do not go wrong, you can find helpful how-to videos on line, such as this guide to making a perfect wedding cake.
