There are wide varieties of traditional Cantonese desserts, ranging from pastries, soups, puddings and salads to iced desserts.

The milk puddings are regarded in Cantonese Cuisine for their soft, silky texture. The bowl of egg-white-set custard is available plain or with a subtle ginger syrup flavoring.

The mango pudding with sago and pomelo, also known as mango pomelo sago, is usually the go-to dessert for children, made with fresh mango, fresh pomelo, and chewy sago. If you want to level it up, pour evaporated milk on top of the creamy pudding set in a cup or glass.

If you want a healthy choice of dessert, red bean soup is a good option. One of the healthiest dessert choices is red bean soup made of adzuki beans. This hearty dessert has a lot of protein and fiber and is also said to help reduce bloating after a big meal. Its name came from the fact that it has a bit of a sandy texture.
