Summer pudding is an uncooked English dessert that is essentially a bread pudding made from slices of white bread, sugar, and mixed fruits such as blackberries, raspberries, and currants. Traditionally, it is prepared in a bowl that is turned upside down, so that the bread soaks up all of the fruit juices, and the pudding develops a domed shape. It is recommended to serve summer pudding with a dollop of two of double-cream on the side.

Along with Banana Split, sundae is one of the most served ice cream-based desserts in the United States of America. A sundae is ice cream topped with a sauce or syrup, typically served in a bowl. The most popular varieties of sundae are chocolate caramel, butterscotch, and strawberry. Cherries, dairy cream, and nuts are the most common additions to the popular treat. Food historians still argue about the origin of the ice cream sundae, but there are three theories which remain the most popular. The first one says it was created in Illinois, where the law prohibited the selling of soda water on a Sunday. As an alternative, local soda fountains started selling ice cream sodas without the soda, leaving the customers with only syrup and ice cream, known as sundaes. The second theory says that it was invented in Wisconsin by a soda fountain owner named Ed Berners, who served ice cream topped with syrup used for sodas to his customers. Berners loved the dish and charged a nickel for it. His competitor, George Giffy, started to serve the dessert on Sundays. Once he started to make money, he changed the name from Ice Cream Sunday to Ice Cream Sundae and served it every day of the week. The last theory suggests that the sundae was first made in Ithaca, New York by Chester Platt, a drugstore owner who served a dish of vanilla ice cream, cherry syrup, and candied cherries to one Reverend John Scott, and he named the dish after the day. Regardless of its inventor, today there are over hundred types of sundaes, offered in numerous flavors such as pineapple, blueberry, banana, raspberry, or marshmallow, among others.

Supangle is a popular Turkish dessert consisting of a base layer of cake pieces that are topped with rich chocolate pudding. The pudding is made with milk, sugar, flour, cocoa powder, butter, and dark chocolate. Supangle is traditionally garnished with ground walnuts, almonds, pistachios, or shredded coconut.

Although the name supangle comes from soupe anglaise / zuppa inglese, it bears no resemblance to that dessert.

Susamielli are traditional Neapolitan Christmas cookies. They're made with a combination of flour, sugar, butter, honey, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

It's recommended to dunk susamielli in coffee or a glass of sweet dessert wine. In the past, susamielli were called sesamielli and they were covered with sesame seeds. Nowadays, they're also called sapienze since they were also prepared by the nuns of the Monastero della Sapienza, and in their version the cookies were dotted with whole almonds. These cookies taste great, but eating them takes work since they're quite hard, and interestingly, the Neapolitans will also call a serious or antisocial person a susamiello.

A lighter variation on the classic baklava, s&uuml;tl&uuml; nuriye is made with a hazelnut filling and doused in a milk-based syrup. The origins of this baklava are somewhat vague&mdash;while the word s&uuml;tl&uuml; translates to milky, Nuriye is a Turkish female name&mdash;so the only known thing is that the dessert had been created during the 1980s. Back then, due to a major supply shortage, Turkish baklava makers thought of using milk to make a lighter syrup with half the amount of sugar, and the expensive pistachios used in classic baklava were replaced by hazelnuts.

Sykomaida is a traditional dessert from the Greek island of Corfu, a type of fig cake made from dried figs, ground almonds or walnuts, ouzo (a Greek anise-flavored liquor), cinnamon, cloves, and fennel seeds. In 2009, sykomaida was recognized by the European Union as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product, meaning that only fig desserts made in a specific way in Corfu can be called sykomaida. A typical process of making sykomaida involves drying figs in the sun, then chopping or grinding them up and mixing them with the other ingredients to form a dense, sweet, and flavorful mixture. The mixture is then shaped into a round or a roll, which can be stored and sliced off as needed. The product has a long shelf life and is often served with coffee or as a snack or dessert.
