If you have a sweet tooth and have been searching for the ultimate dessert, look no further. Abu Dhabi Week has found five puddings that you would be a fool to miss. Just make sure you save room!

Blueberry Cheesecake at Origins

Smothered in a sticky blueberry jam-like sauce, the cheesecake itself is the perfect consistency; firm, yet soft as butter. The biscuit base is rich and crunchy, with a slight bitterness, contrasting with the sweetness of the cream cheese.
Cost: AED 168 for evening buffet

Zuccotto Toscano at Prego’s

Forget your overpowering, chocolate-smothered puddings, this is a light and delicious end to any meal. Break through a crisp, thin layer of bitter chocolate to a creamy ball of delicately flavoured orange mousse. Buried within are balls of crisp, orange infused, choux pastry, which wait to explode in the mouth.
Cost: AED 45

Butterscotch Pancakes at Vasco’s

We go back again and again for this signature dessert at Vasco’s on the Corniche. The pancakes are light and fluffy with bananas caramalised in sticky toffee, so when this plate of perfection arrives in front of you with vanilla ice cream melting into the butterscotch, the aroma is intoxicating. This pudding is not for the fainthearted!
Cost: AED 29

Tiramisu at Porto Bello

This is a novel take on the traditional Italian tiramisu, but one that works. A moist layer of soaked, sticky sponge provides the base to layers of coffee-flavoured rich cream. Slightly sloppier than you might expect, but exploding with flavour, this is a dessert you won’t want to share.
Cost: AED 35

Player’s Alley at Hawksbill Restaurant

Named after the 11th hole at the Saadiyat Golf Club, Player’s Alley is a simple dessert but simply delicious. Scoops of smooth vanilla bean ice cream are drizzled with a shot of freshly brewed espresso at your table and served with crunchy biscotti.
Cost: AED 25
