Black bottom pie is een zoet dessert dat in het begin van de jaren 40 in het Amerikaanse Zuiden is ontstaan en bestaat uit een chocolade banketbakkersroom met rum en vanillesmaak en een korst van boter, suiker en verkruimelde koekjes. De taart wordt meestal bedekt met stijve meringue pieken of slagroom en vervolgens versierd met chocoladeschaafsel. Wanneer het volledig is afgekoeld, kan het worden geserveerd en gegeten. Tegenwoordig zijn er veel versies van dit dessert met toegevoegde kokosnoot, citroen, aardbeien of bananen.

Also known as Scotch bun, or sometimes even Scotch Christmas Bun, this festive, pastry-wrapped fruitcake is nowadays eaten at Hogmanay and represents a true Scottish institution. It was originally introduced in the 16th century following the return of Mary, the Queen of Scots from France, and it is traditionally prepared for the Christian celebration of the Twelfth Night, a custom which ended with the Scottish Reformation. Although the filling composition has varied over the centuries, this intensely spicy and fruity cake typically contains raisins, currants, almonds, citrus peel, allspice, ginger, cinnamon, and the fiery black pepper, whereas black treacle is a modern addition. Also, all Scottish bakers use their own special spice blend, so the flavors of this decadent Scotch treat range from mild to strong. To indulge in it to the fullest, according to tradition, black bun is often served with a glass of Scotch whisky.

An integral part of Caribbean cuisine in festive times, especially around Christmas, black fruit cake is a unique dessert filled with nuts, dried fruits, warm spices, and burnt sugar syrup - giving it a rich and bitter chocolate flavor and a typical deep black color. Although the cake has numerous variations regarding the ingredients, rum is always mandatory. Black fruit cake has roots throughout the Caribbean, dating back to the 17th century when English settlers brought over their tradition of the English pudding, which was modified by the slaves and their descendants into a decadent rum cake over the years. Preferences are variable - some people like it wet and moist, others like it drier and nutty, but regardless of the texture, it is a staple at most Caribbean celebrations.

Blackout cake is a traditional chocolate cake originating from Brooklyn's Ebinger's Bakery, where it was first made in 1942. This rich, dark sponge cake is filled with thick pudding-like chocolate custard and topped with crumbs of chocolate cake. The ingredients used for the cake typically include dark chocolate, espresso powder, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and powder, butter, salt, sugar, eggs, and milk. Once prepared, the cake is often decorated with buttercream, but it's completely optional. Its dark visual appearance is a nod to the mandatory blackouts that happened at the time (WWII) in order to protect the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Blejska grmada is a traditional dessert originating from the Bled area. The base is made with eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and cocoa, while the sweet topping consists of milk, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla sugar, heavy cream, walnuts, chocolate, and fruit such as berries. The base is usually softened with rum (or fruity liqueurs) and milk, and the dessert is topped with chopped walnuts and fruit, followed by another layer of the base and the topping. When served, this dessert is scooped with an ice cream scooper and once again topped with whipped cream or melted chocolate.

A dessert bar called blondie, although similar to a regular brownie, is made with vanilla and brown sugar instead of cocoa and has no frosting. Typically, the batter will be enriched with various nuts and either white or dark chocolate chips. Blondie is a dessert on its own, but it can also be served in sundaes, paired with vanilla ice cream and caramel or butterscotch sauce.

Een diep fruitdessert dat verse of bevroren bosbessen combineert met een biscuitkorst die lijkt op gouden kasseien, de bosbessencobbler is een uitvinding die zowel Europeanen, Amerikaanse pioniers als indianen hebben uitgevonden. Het recept voor de taart werd van Europa naar Amerika gebracht, waar het in de 19e eeuw werd vereenvoudigd tot een cobbler - een gerecht dat geschikt was om onderweg te bereiden. De indianen introduceerden de bosbessen bij de pelgrims en de bosbessencobbler werd al snel een populair hoofdgerecht dat later evolueerde tot een dessert. Tegenwoordig wordt het meestal bereid voor de viering van 4 juli, omdat bosbessen dan op het hoogtepunt van hun seizoen zijn, en serveersuggesties omvatten een bolletje vanille-ijs of slagroom. Juli werd uitgeroepen tot National Blueberry Month in de VS, terwijl Canadezen het in augustus vieren.

Deze echte Amerikaanse klassieker bestaat uit een dikke, sappige bosbessenvulling tussen twee lagen schilferig, goudbruin gebak. Het verscheen voor het eerst in geschreven vorm in 1829, maar de oorsprong ervan gaat waarschijnlijk terug tot de vroege Amerikaanse pioniers. Hoewel het traditioneel wordt geassocieerd met Maine, waar het is uitgeroepen tot het officiële staatsdessert, is de klassieke bosbessentaart een zomerfavoriet die in het hele land wordt genoten, meestal geserveerd met een bolletje ijs of een toef slagroom ernaast.

A mystery in the world of desserts, Blue Moon is an unusual, smurf-blue colored, sweet ice cream that tastes different to everyone who has ever tried it, and to make matters worse, its ingredients are trademarked and heavily guarded. There is a huge list of possible flavors: vanilla, lemon, pistachio, coconut, almond, marshmallow, bubblegum, pineapple, ginger, cotton candy, blue curacao, licorice, berries, or Froot Loops with milk. Its flavor might be a mystery, but so are its origins. There are two theories - one claiming that the ice cream was invented in the 1940s or 1950s in Milwaukee, and the other places it in Michigan, crediting the Sherman Dairy Products company in South Haven. Sherman had declined the honor, and the Milwaukee version trademarked the product. Whatever its origins may be, all agree that it is an original Upper Midwest treat with a unique flavor of its own.

Bob Andy pie is een Amerikaanse taart met wortels in de Amish-gemeenschappen in het Midwesten. Het bestaat uit een taartbodem, melk, eieren, suiker, bloem en kaneel. De ingrediënten worden eenvoudigweg samengevoegd en de vulling wordt vervolgens in de taartbodem gegoten. Het geheel wordt gebakken totdat de vulling in het midden is gestold, of totdat een tandenstoker in het midden er schoon uitkomt. Terwijl de vla bakt, kan een deel van de kaneel naar de bodem zakken, waardoor de taart er mooi gelaagd uitziet als hij eenmaal is gesneden. De naam van de taart heeft een interessant verhaal - naar verluidt zei een Amish-boer dat hij ''net zo lekker was als Bob en Andy'' nadat hij hem had geproefd, verwijzend naar zijn twee prijswinnende ploegpaarden.

Bobići is a traditional dessert originating from Dalmatia. The dessert is usually made with a combination of almonds (half of them are ground, and another half is roughly chopped), eggs, sugar, nutmeg, and grated lemon zest. The eggs are beaten with the sugar, and the combination is then mixed with the almonds, nutmeg, and lemon zest. The mixture is shaped into small balls. A finger is pressed into each ball to make a small indentation on the surface. They are placed in a beeswax-coated baking dish and baked at very low heat. These sweet treats date back to the 17th century and the name bobići is derived from the word for chickpeas, bob, referring to the visual appearance of bobići.

Bocado de la reina is a cake-like bread pudding made with leftover bread, condensed milk, eggs, and bananas. It is especially popular in Panama and Guatemala. This cake is typically flavored with cinnamon, while raisins might be added for extra flavor. Although the literal translation of this dish means the bite of a queen or queen's bite, it is still unclear why a cake made with leftover bread would be fit for a queen.

Bocchan dango is a multi-colored variety of popular Japanese dango sweets. It consists of three balls on a skewer, each one with a different color &ndash; red, prepared with red bean paste, yellow, prepared with eggs, and green, prepared with green tea. This dango variety is often associated with the city of Matsuyama, because the sweet treat appears in Natsume Soseki&rsquo;s 1906 novel Botchan. In the novel, the eponymous hero is a Tokyo academic who is posted to a school in Matsuyama, and he finds great solace in this dessert that now bears his name.
