3. Pink Lamington Jelly Cakes

Similar to the whoopie pie, Pink Lamington jelly cake is enthused by Lamington- a traditional Australian food. Made with coconut, chocolate and jam, topped with a wide layer of jelly. The spoon plops the first layer of jelly when you cut through with your spoon. How can anyone refuse a slice when you have all the good things layered up? 

4. Beetroot Cakes with Orange Frosting

Whoever said desserts can't be healthy has got it wrong! Australians like to add beetroot in their desserts apart from just salads or burgers. This is one of the rare Australian cakes and desserts which is made with orange zest, apple sauce and, of course, grated beetroot. Giving a twist to the traditional carrot cake, it is then topped with a tangy orange-flavoured cream cheese frosting and passion fruit. This is unarguably one of the most unique Australian desserts you can try! 

5. Iced VoVo

An Iced VoVo is one of the most popular Australian desserts that all age groups cherish. A wheat flour biscuit topped with two strips of pink fondant and a wide strip of raspberry jam. It is then drizzled with a dash of coconut, which balances out the sweetness of the raspberry jam. Some people also like to top their Iced VoVo with marshmallows. 

6. Pavlova

Pavlova, the Australian national dessert, is one of the most delicious desserts you'll ever try! Cased in meringue, crisp from the outside but soft and tender inside, it is topped with a layer of whipped cream and a layer of fresh fruits. These fruits may vary from passion fruit, kiwi, berries or mango, depending on the place the desserts are made at. This Australian dessert is named after a Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, who loved a delight that she typically made from a fresh array of berries and passion fruit.

7. Tim Tam

Tim Tam is one of the most iconic and lip-smacking Australian desserts and is popular in the whole world. Made with two dark chocolate burst biscuits and a layer of chocolate. The wide layer of chocolate is sandwiched between the dark chocolate biscuits. You can savour this dessert in an array of flavours like white chocolate, salted caramel and even a bar of double-layered chocolate along with the original flavours.

8. Jelly Slice

How does jelly with some custard sound? A-ma-zing right? Well, this Australian desert is definitely going to make your soul dance. A delicious dessert layered with some sugary custard and cream with a biscuit base and a heap of jelly? Sounds scrumptious, right? This dessert is usually completed with toppings of natural fruit extracts that coordinate with the colour of the jelly. For example, the jelly layers for mango will be orange and yellow, and strawberry jelly layers will be red.

Your dessert journey through Australia's best starts with a cozy place to call home.

11. Vegemite Brownie

We know brownies are common and you're probably wondering, how is this one different from the rest? Well, the Vegemite brownie does not just look different, but it is also unique due to the ingredients it is made from! Vegemite is Australia's favourite condiment, which is blended beautifully with butter and melted brown sugar to compliment the condiment's flavour. This is one of the Australian desserts that is a combination of sweet and salty and will leave you craving more!

12. Louise Cake

The Louise Cake is definitely one of the Australian traditional desserts that New Zealand inspires. Baked in a pan and is usually served in square slices. The cakes consist of a shortcake crust layered with raspberry jam and coconut meringue. This Australian dessert tastes best, along with a side of raspberries and tea or coffee. This is another dessert that is a classic but still cherished and loved by many.

13. Australian Boston Bun‍

Boston Buns are made with finely mashed potatoes, which create a marshmallow-soft dough and are scattered with raisins or sultanas. They are topped with the creamiest white butter icing and coated with desiccated coconut. One golden rule for eating Boston Buns is that you should have a lot of butter that enhances the taste. Boston Buns are one of the most popular Australian desserts, and according to the Strayan tradition, they are usually eaten with tea. If you're wondering what Strayans are, Straya or Strayan is just another Australian slang!

14. Chocolate Ripple Cake

Sometimes the least of ingredients combine and make the yummiest food! Chocolate ripple cakes are one such Australian dessert that is very simple but very delicious, too! Layers of chocolate ripple biscuits slathered with sweetened cream are the classic way to make a chocolate ripple cake. There are several variations of this Australian dessert, and one of the most popular variations is to use sherry to moisten the biscuits.

Created by Armand Galland, Lamingtons are one of the traditional Australian desserts. Lamington and Marshmallow mousse trifles are a variation of this class of Australian desserts. The moist vanilla sponge cake is dipped in slices of coconut and chocolate. The delicious flavour of this dessert comes from the confluence of lamington fingers and marshmallows and is loved by everyone.
