While the concept of a spicy dessert might seem a little on the obscure side, the combination of sweet and heat is gaining popularity as an effective method of mixing up traditional fare. It's not simply a rise in the number of products that one can buy that are spicy; in fact, we're seeing bakers squeeze sriracha into cakes and sprinkle chili flakes into ice cream to the delight of foodies alike.
Flavor obsession in the modern consumer base is becoming more fervent as the days pass; individuals are constantly on the hunt for products and flavors that will entice their taste buds and change up the traditional nature of cuisine. As spicy desserts enter the realm of foodie culture, one can only wonder what's next.
