To say I have a sweet tooth is ~quite~ an understatement. So when Reddit users shared which foods were the very best from their country, I couldn't help but drool over the dessert recommendations. Here's what my fellow Americans are missing out on:

1. New Zealand — Lolly cake

"It's basically marshmallows baked into malt biscuits with condensed milk and butter."

5. Pakistan — Balushahi

Instagram: @undefined

"It's like a deep-fried doughnut, but with the texture of a cloud because of the layers and layers of butter that go into it. Typically, it's dunked in honey, dredged across a bed of pistachios, and served with an unsweetened doodh pati chai."
