- I'm Beryl and this week we're looking at desserts.

Or puddings or sweets, whatever you call it.

The world was not always addicted to sugar.

In fact, the original sweeteners were honey and dried fruit.

Sugar cane is actually originally from New Guinea.

are the first instances of sugar refinement.

The crop spread to the Middle East and China rather quickly.

But it didn't get to Europe until around the 12th century

and it really only got there because of colonization.

- (laughs) There's a lot happening right now.

Since then, sugar has taken on many, many forms.

There's no way that I could cover it all.

I mean, at least not in a video like I make.

But I chose desserts that I thought were interesting

and that maybe you hadn't heard of before.

I spoke to seven people in seven countries

to see what desserts were like around the world.

In making this episode I decided two things.

And two, I wanted the desserts to have a connection

Sorry, one last thing before we start the video.

And I'm sure that I missed some amazing desserts out there.

So let me know in the comments where you're from

and what the best dessert from your country is,

- Gajar ka halwa is not difficult to make.

It's quite a basic sweet found in Indian households.

The red carrots particularly are quite sweet by themselves.

So it's a sweet dish with a nice crunch of nuts to it.

that leads with a non-traditional ingredient, chicken.

I saw this dessert on "Great British Bake Off"

In Colombia, this dessert has a deep rooted history

with not only the city but the people who make it.

that I would not consider a dessert, beans.

Whenever I'm in India, this is what I ask for after dinner.

The carrots here work perfectly in the dessert.

- Gajar ka halwa is made out of the things

This recipe was taught to me by my mother-in-law.

Her recipe of gajar ka halwa is really loved
