When we think of London, there’s a chance that desserts might not come to mind. However, it might be time to think about taking your sweet tooth on a tour of the city as these are the London desserts everyone needs to try on their next visit to The Big Smoke.
Cotton candy cloud cones
If you want to try something perfect for social media, then it could be time to check out the cotton candy cloud cone from Milk Train. It’s the perfect blend of ice cream and cotton candy that comes in a host of flavors – including custard tart, salted caramel, and black sesame – before it’s complete with various toppings.
Croissant donut
Dum Dums is one of the most famous donut shops in London, and it has something extraordinary on offer. That’s right; it’s the home of the croissant donut. As well as being the perfect blend of two delicious desserts, it also comes in flavors like strawberry cream, cinnamon, crême brúlée, and salted caramel.
Freakshakes
The freakshake revolution has come a long way in recent years. Now, London has its own to add to the mix. Found at Holloway, you can top your milkshake with just about anything you can imagine. From Oreo brownies to pretzels and everything in between, nothing is too much when it comes to creating the perfect London freakshake.
Ice cream sandwiches
Okay, ice cream sandwiches can be found across the planet, but the ones on offer from Yolkin are different. They have been created with a recipe made by Sammie, the owner, who wanted to use her egg yolks leftover from making macarons. Now, these sandwiches have been crafted into just about every shape and flavor you could imagine.
Egg waffles
Egg waffles were first created in Hong Kong, but they have since dominated the luxury dessert market. Bubblewrap in London has its own on the market and makes the perfect photo for your social media feed. The waffles are either matcha, chocolate, or plain and can be filled with just about everything, including cheesecake and fresh fruit, before they’re topped with peanut butter, Nutella, or slate caramel.
Biskies
The word biskies perfectly sums up the combination of cake, cookie, and biscuit on offer from Cutter and Squidge. The hybrid is filled with caramel, jam, and buttercream and comes in various sweet flavors. It was almost perfectly designed for stunning pictures before they’re enjoyed.
Layer cake
Although it’s called a layer cake, this London dessert is actually layers of thin crepes that have been brushed with French pastry cream. They’re delicious, beautiful, and the perfect way to treat your sweet tooth the next time you’re in London. All you need to do is puck from a host of flavors, including mango and matcha, before settling down with your sweet treat.
The London desserts everyone needs to try on their next visit to The Big Smoke not only give you an excuse to travel the city, but they provide plenty of sugar to fuel your adventures, too.
