23 Gross Desserts

Gross desserts might seem like an oxymoron, but this collection proves that sometimes even the sweetest confections can look like something that has been left out to rot. We're seeing a distinct rise in the number of people who aren't simply looking for something delicious, but a story to tell their friends, post to Instagram or simply eat as a testament to their bravery.

On the flip side, perhaps you're looking for gross desserts to serve to enemies, gift to a coworker or a friend that can take a joke. Regardless of the usage of the gross dessert you choose, rest assured that you'll find a number of different varieties here that can be made in your kitchen, bought at a store or upcycled from the garbage (note: the last one isn't recommended).
