Nigerian desserts include simple finger foods like puff puff, meat pies, buns, pancakes, etc. A great number of them are considered too sweet for average Nigeria, hence, dessert is not such a huge topic in the Nigerian food sphere.
On this page, you will learn about different dessert recipes from Nigeria. There are a lot of them, but I think I am going to start with the trendy ones, at the bottom of the page I will include some advanced recipes.
Top Nigerian Desserts
1. Puff Puff
Puff puff is a regular road-side snack from Nigeria. The recipe is easy and kids love it.

Like I said initially, there are several kinds of desserts eaten in Nigerian, most of which I am yet to learn about. There are over a hundred different tribes, hence the reason we have a wild variety of foods eaten in Nigeria.
I want to talk about simple to make desserts in Nigeria, the likes of bons, meat-pies, pancakes, bolle, puff-puff, several of which could be made in less than thirty minutes or one hour but that is just dependent on lots of other factors.
You can also learn to make Nigerian cakes, I have tried different Nigerian cake recipes but would likely talk about butter cake here as my number one Nigerian cake recipe.
We are working on a comprehensive video for making Nigerian cakes and I believe you are definitely gonna love it. Cake making is a little bit complicating, some of the ingredients need to be used with caution because it is easy to mess up a good cake with just a slight omission.
The video below shows you how I made a simple Nigerian dessert recipe, goat meat barbecue. It is actually one of the very many desserts eaten in Nigeria. it was served alongside Nigerian fried rice but can also be eaten alone with perhaps a bottle of your favorite drink.
The video explains how to make this dessert a simple way. The ingredients used are very easy to find; Onions, fresh tomatoes maggi or knorr cubes then salt and pepper to taste. Read More Here about Goat Meat Barbecue in Nigeria
