Bless the sweet tooth!


 

Making a choice among the international favorites is always a very difficult proposition. It's not only the favorite part of the meal for most people, but is often the real reason for eating the meal itself. Here are the top 10 best desserts in my favorite order, although it might not concur with every body's choices it would certainly make your mouth water for more:

 
 

Tiramisu - In Italian, it means pick-me-up. It definitely does that. With its unique layers and textures, it's always a treat for those with a sweet tooth.

 
 

 
 

Ras Malai - This is a sweet dish invented in Bengal and found in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. It is a heavenly concoction where thickened and sweetened milk is the gravy in which small airy cottage cheese balls are floating.


 

Cheesecake - A classic, and rightfully so. It both refrigerates and freezes very well. You can't really go wrong with it.

 
 

Key Lime Pie - The perfect sour, yet smooth taste of this dessert fits so perfectly after a big meal. It almost feels like the meal was the appetizer for the pie.

 
 

Cannoli - You don't have to be Italian to enjoy this delicious treat. This legendary Sicilian pastry has a sweet filling, which normally contains ricotta cheese.

 
 

Chocolate Mousse - Rich and decadent, the sweet taste explosion of this classic gourmet dessert will be the hit of any party.

 
 

Baklava - Is there anything sweeter in this world than a nicely sliced piece of Baklava. It especially becomes lovelier when they put a little honey in it. It's just spectacular.


 

Chocolate Croissants - The perfect combination of a flaky French pastry with the sweetness of chocolate. Just heaven!

 
 

Brownies - So classic, yet it will never go out of style. Who didn't grow up with these treat. I can even remember as a little kid grabbing a chair to stand on, so I could get to the brownie jar.

 
 

Chocolate Chip Cookies - As American as apple pie, chocolate chip cookies are the favorite dessert of both young and old.

 
 

 
 

Donuts - May not be the flashiest dessert in the world, but I bet you can't find one single person who will pass down a freshly baked donut.
