Would you like a dessert? – what to order in Bulgaria

Would you like dessert - what to order in Bulgaria

I am sure that while travelling you try to eat local like me and you allow yourself a delicious and calloricious dessert when visiting the local restaurants and cafes. That why I would like to give you some ideas on what to order for dessert when you are in Bulgaria.

The first place is for my favorite dessert of all times: biscuits cake

Biscuit cake is one of the simplest cakes ever because you need only biscuits and farina. You can order biscuits cake wherever you go in Bulgaria. Sometimes it’s made with yogurt creme or with chocolate creme. Sometimes it’s powdered with chocolate sprinkles. Give it a try, it goes very well with a cup of coffee. Yummy!

The second place is for a dessert well-known to anyone who grew up during the communist regime – milk with rice and cinnamon

Another traditional classic that you absolutely have to try if you never did it before. However, almost the same dessert exists in Thailand. The Thailandaise variation is called “sticky rice” and contains coconut milk and mango. Give it try no matter which country you visit – Bulgaria or Thailand!

My next recommendation is for “Tikvenik” (pumpkin cake)

Bulgarians eat pumpkin a lot, especially for dessert. In autumn, you can order baked pumpkin with sugar and walnuts as well as ”Tikvenik” – filo pastry filled with a feeling made of grated pumpkin, sugar, and walnuts. Super delicious. Don’t miss it out!

Last but not least comes Creme caramel

Creme caramel (very similar to creme brulee) ranks as a classic in Bulgaria. Very easy to make – you need only eggs, milk, and sugar. Bon appetit!

Yoghurt with honey and walnuts

Nevertheless, the most important thing before leaving Bulgaria is to eat yoghurt with honey and walnuts! This is a top Bulgarian dessert, very light and easy to prepare!
