Buddy Valastro’s Carlo’s Bakery star dessert, lobster tails, has been sold for nearly a century. The treats are baked to a golden brown color, making them crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside with a rich, sweet flavor. The pastry is made the same way as Sfogliatelle, with the minor difference that it uses French cream, a custard folded with whipped cream. 

Lobster Tails are rare and only offered by a handful of bakeries. Therefore, visiting this Las Vegas outlet is a must to taste this exclusive treat.

2. The Flaming Skull at Chica Las Vegas

Great desserts are more than just sweet tastes; they are about the overall experience. The flaming skull checks all the boxes on this front. Chica Las Vegas offers this dessert in a scary but exciting way.

A flaming liquor is poured on the skull, and it melts away, revealing a decadent chocolate lava cake. The dessert is usually served with fresh berries, horchata, ice cream, and corn marshmallows, creating a symphony of flavors and textures in your mouth. 

3. Couture Doughnuts at Saint Honoré Doughnuts & Beignets

Everyone loves Oreos, especially dipped in milk. But when paired with Zeppole, they are amazing. Lavo, the Italian restaurant at the Palazzo, makes Oreo Zeppole in a fancy way. The Oreos are fried, smudged with heavy cream, and then dipped in a Vanilla milkshake. 

The frying process breaks down the crispy texture of the Oreos, making it soft and easily blendable with the cream. 

5. Sticky Toffee Pudding at Gordon Ramsay Steak
