When you think about it, desserts are some of the most delicious foods around. They’re usually sweet and flavourful and complement savoury meals, such as burgers in Brisbane. 



Health enthusiasts may give you a hard time eating dessert every day. But who are they to judge? Dessert is a personal choice; there’s no reason to feel guilty about enjoying it.

Besides, desserts can be healthy too. There are plenty of healthy dessert recipes out there that are full of nutritious ingredients. So go ahead, as there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself to a sweet treat every once in a whilst.

What Are the Best Dessert Ideas that Go Well with Burgers?

If your palate is feeling a bit adventurous, let’s get to the best dessert pairings with burgers in Brisbane. Here are a few of the best dessert ideas that top our list. 

  ● Milk Shake

A classic chocolate shake is always a good choice when picking the right drink for your burger; plus, it’s also a dessert, so you’re hitting two burps with one dessert. The shake’s smooth and creamy texture perfectly complements the burger’s hearty flavours, making it a heavenly combination that’s hard to resist. Adding some whipped cream for extra deliciousness is also a good idea! If you’re not a fan of chocolate, then perhaps a vanilla shake is more up your alley. Whatever milkshake you choose will bring the taste buds to the yard. 

  ● Pudding

Pudding is perfect for pairing with a juicy burger. It’s not heavy, so it won’t weigh you down after eating a big burger. It’s also not as light as ice cream, so you won’t feel like missing something. 

  ● Caramel Apple Pie

This dessert is perfect if you want something sweet but not too heavy. This type of pie is made with Granny Smith apples coated in a delicious caramel sauce. The apples are topped with a rich and creamy custard layer, finishing the whole thing with a crispy crust. 

  ● Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are many reasons why a cookie is perfect for a juicy burger. Both burgers and cookies are comfort foods. They remind us of home and childhood. They make us happy and content.

Furthermore, burgers and cookies go together like peanut butter and jelly. They are the perfect complement to each other—the sweetness of the cookie balances out the savoury flavour of the best burger in Brisbane and vice versa. A cookie is a perfect way to top off a delightful burger meal.

  ● Cheesecake

Creamy, decadent and delicious, a cheesecake is a perfect way to top off a fantastic burger meal. There are endless variations of cheesecake recipes, so you can find one that perfectly matches your taste preferences. Whether you like your cheesecake classic or with a twist, there’s sure to be a recipe that will make your taste buds happy.

  ● Brownies

Let’s face it: brownies are simply delicious. They’re chocolatey, moist and chewy, with a slightly crunchy top—basically everything you could want in a dessert. Whether you’re a fan of plain old chocolate brownies or like your brownies loaded with nuts and other goodies, there’s a flavour profile for everyone.

  ● Pecan Pie

This dessert is perfect for those who want something nutty and sweet. The pecans add a nice crunch to the pie, whilst the syrup gives it sweetness. Adding some ice cream on the side is also an excellent way to balance the flavours.

The pecan pie is a classic dessert that always hits the spot. It’s sweet, nutty and gooey, and it pairs perfectly with a juicy beef burger. The combination of flavours and textures is excellent and will leave you satisfied and happy.
