SWEET ENDINGS
Dessert or Sweet endings is a course that concludes a meal. The word “dessert” originated from the French word desservir, meaning “to clear the table”. Dried fruit and honey were probably the first sweeteners used in most of the world.
Fresh fruit is also considered a dessert nowadays.
Here I am sharing some desserts that I have created and some that I tasted while travelling—and where possible, I’ve added my fusion with a Bangladeshi touch. Coconut is my favourite, and you will find it in most of my desserts. I hope you will enjoy these.
