Dessert is a course that concludes a meal. The course usually consists of sweet foods, such as confections, and possibly a beverage such as dessert wine or liqueur. In some parts of the world, such as much of central and western Africa, and most parts of China and India, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.
In the food context, dessert refers to sweet dishes that are typically served after a meal. Desserts can come in many forms, including cakes, pies, pastries, puddings, ice cream, and fruit-based desserts. Here are some examples of popular desserts:
