Top 7: desserts from around the world

Tired of the same old desserts? It’s normal; sometimes we can get stuck in the same recipes and make them over and over again. To expand your sweet repertoire, today we recommend five desserts that come from various countries around the world. Surprise your friends and family with these delicious international sweet recipes we have for you. Sacher Torte This delicious and decadent dessert comes from Austria, where it is known as sachertorte. It consists of two chocolate cakes joined by apricot jam and finished with a dark chocolate glaze. It is an ideal dessert to accompany with a nice tea at the end of a meal, or as a snack when you have your friends over for a tea afternoon.     Pumpkin Cheesecake The cheesecake is the quintessential American dessert and it is known that the best ones come from New York. This recipe is not your typical cheesecake, but it features a topping of cream cheese and whipped cream with caramel drizzles on top. It is also an ideal recipe to start welcoming the upcoming autumn.   Alfajores We are all used to Argentine alfajores made with puff pastry, but this type of alfajor is more Peruvian. It consists of two cookies made with cornstarch that melt in your mouth when you try them. They are filled with dulce de leche, or manjar blanco, as it is known in Peru, and also have a touch of cognac to give them that rich, boozy detail.   Green Tea Ice Cream In Japanese culture, they not only drink tea, but they also prepare it as a dessert. Interestingly, they even use it between meals to cleanse the palate and better savor the next dish. However you choose to use it, remember that it is a fresh and light dish for when you want to avoid the dense and sumptuous cakes that we often eat.   Tiramisu If there’s one thing to thank the Italians for, besides pasta and pizza, it’s this delicious dessert. It is a simple recipe that includes sweet cheese, coffee, chocolate, and in this particular recipe, cherries. Although it is an easy dessert to make, it is also elegant and glamorous, making it suitable for any fancy dinner with colleagues or even friends you might have over at your house.
