The Most Popular Desserts in America

Last Updated on 2 years ago by Nicky Johnson

Who doesn’t enjoy a delicious dessert after dinner? Depending on where you live in the world, it could mean you get a variety of different after-dinner sweets. In the United States, the sweeter the dessert is, the better. Americans have created some of the most well-known deserts yet but have become known for putting a spin of their own on several of the most common classics.

Cheesecake

Cheesecake

Even though you may have thought that cheesecake was invented in New York, it actually has origins that date back to Greece. However, it was Americans who added cream cheese to cheesecake. There are many variations of cheesecake, but New York-style cheesecake uses a different touch, including cheese, eggs, cream, sugar, and a graham cracker crust. It is usually served plain with no additional toppings or ingredients. You can also find out how to make your very own cheesecake on sites such as The Kitchen Community.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes are considered easy dessert recipes and are not just for kids. You can even head on over to your nearest gourmet cupcake shop if you want a dessert fix entirely personalized for you. Americans absolutely love cupcakes and cupcake bakeries. Cupcakes are stunning and small. They even come in almost every cake flavor you can think of.

Cupcakes can be found in traditional vanilla, chocolate, to even more extreme flavors, such as red velvet and key lime pie. The best part is that you don’t even have to go to the bakery to get them. You can easily make these cupcake flavors at home using a simple muffin pan and decorative liners.

Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is both delicious and creamy. It is probably one of the best desserts to choose from if you want to fool yourself into believing you are eating healthy. While carrots are good for you, carrot cake is not so much, but it is enjoyable.

It is one of the most popular desserts in America. It is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy topped with cream cheese frosting. The cream cheese frosting is made from cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Just like other popular desserts, carrot cake can be created with either a traditional recipe or made with additional such as coconut, pineapple, and even macadamia nuts.

Apple Pie

Even though apple pie is one of the most popular American desserts, it wasn’t created in the United States. Apple pies date back to the 14th century in Europe. However, they became increasingly popular in American cookbooks in the 18th century and didn’t become popular in New York until the 19th century. The new version is apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream.

Ice Cream

Who could forget ice cream? It has been popular in the United States since the 1700s. That was then followed by the hand-crank ice cream maker in 1843 that allowed Americans to make their very own ice cream on their own. Handmade ice cream is still a popular dessert for many American families even to this day. Some of the most popular ice cream flavors are chocolate chip cookie dough and cookies n’ cream, even though ice cream can be found in almost every flavor.

Brownies

Brownies are another popular American dessert and can be served at room temperature or piping hot. They can be made from a brownie mix or made from scratch. They are one of the most versatile desserts today. Many people prefer their brownies to be more of a moist consistency, while others prefer theirs to be more cake-like. Brownies can turn out just how you like them depending on the number of eggs and fat you use in your recipe.
