Slowly becoming a foodie destination, Dubai‘s variety of cultures and cuisines has brought in an incredible mix of foods you have to try. But where there is food, there is dessert. Although you will always find the traditional cupcakes, éclairs, and crème brûlées, some restaurants and cafés around town are coming up with some unique and unusual twists to the traditional sweets. Read up on some of the best places to head to when your sweet cravings kick in!

1. Lotus Pudding @ ByParkers

Restaurant, American, Vegetarian, Halal

Dubai is going crazy for Lotus desserts, so you’ll find them almost everywhere. This Biscoff pudding layered with vanilla ice cream and served with a side of Lotus fudge for your pouring pleasure is a must-try. Plan your trip to the Dubai Mall with a mission to find the key – the key to the restaurant that is. Look them up on social media and get an idea of where you can find a key because this dessert will be worth it.

Monster Shakes @ The Sum of Us

Monster shakes cross the thin line between dessert drink and actual dessert, so why not have both, right? It’s a real dream come true when no two will ever be alike as the guys at The Sum Of Us like to change up the options almost every weekend. Think waffles, cake, cookies, Fruit Loops and even donuts! Yes, they’ve got it all – and if you’re in town for a holiday, then head down there for a really special treat!
