Bangkok might have a dark underbelly, but this city is still somehow incredibly sweet … food wise, that is. Bring your appetite and prepare your sweet tooth for the city’s most outrageous desserts.

Vegan Mango Cheese Toast At Veganerie

Desserts that are vegan-friendly are a rare find, let alone in Bangkok. That is why Veganerie’s fresh take on this awesome dietary need has us wanting to devour all of their desserts. The most outrageous of its never-ending list of vegan dessert delights is their vegan mango cheese toast. Combining bread with mango in the Big Mango is a bold move, but it somehow just works!

1. Spicy Chocolate At Hor Hidden Cafe

No, you read that right … spicy chocolate. This particular cafe was somehow able to combine Thai’s love for spiciness with, well, everyone’s love for chocolate. This spice-riddled chocolate cake is a reality at Hor Hidden Cafe, located off the BTS Skytrain stop Ari. It has several other dessert and coffee shops to compete with in the area, but Hor Hidden Cafe certainly holds its own with desserts like this. Made up of thick, dark chocolate ganache, biting into this scrumptious dessert is quite the taste sensation. First there’s delightfully smooth chocolate and then you’ll be hit with the hidden spice component right after, although it only lasts about three seconds before it’s gone. The two tastes complement one another and surprise all those who devour it.

2. Pumpkin and Basil Dessert At 80/20 BKK

Deli, Restaurant, Thai

Two unsuspecting ingredients make for one mouthwatering dessert at 80/20 BKK. This restaurant is constantly surprising customers with their Thai fusion dishes, including their desserts. Their pumpkin and basil dessert is just one example of their creative combinations. Pumpkin is actually featured in many Thai desserts, but you have never seen it like this before. 80/20 BKK combines a variety of ingredients and textures straight from the orange squash plant, including pumpkin ganache, pumpkin seed sablé, roasted pumpkin, basil seeds, and pumpkin powder. It is then topped off with fresh basil ice cream. This dessert is yet another great creation of their executive pastry chef, Saki Hoshino.
