What’s on the IKEA Dessert Menu?
The Swedish company is launching new desserts. IKEA’s menu will also offer classic pastries for those looking for a smaller bite: the apple pie tartlet, the raspberry tartlet, and the cinnamon bun. IKEA makes all pastries from scratch at IKEA cafes around the world.
Here are some of the IKEA desserts you will find on the IKEA menu:
IKEA DAIM Cake
The new desserts menu at IKEA is worth checking out. The DAIM Cake is a deep-fried chocolate cake with two flavors: classic and cinnamon. This is the perfect indulgent treat to finish off your dinner at IKEA while you’re browsing their furniture as well.
IKEA Almondy Cake
If you love almond cakes, this is the perfect recipe. The cake is moist and flavorful from adding almond extract and vegetable oil and topped off with a buttercream frosting infused with almond extract.Â
If you feel like something chocolatey, we recommend our chocolate caramel cake. This cake starts out as a rich chocolate sponge, which we’ve filled to the brim with thick chocolate before crowning it off with fluffy whipped cream.Â
For something more fruity, try Raspberry Almond Cake. The chefs layer the cake full of fresh raspberries before adding an almond-flavored cream cheese filling and topping it off with raspberry sauce drizzled over the top.
IKEA Quark Cheese Mousse with Lingonberry Filling and Almonds
If you have always been a fan of Swedish cuisine, so when you hear that one of your favorite country’s most iconic brands will be releasing an entirely new line of desserts, you can’t wait to try them. The first thing you can try is the Quark Cheese Mousse with Lingonberry Filling and Almonds. The cheesecake is light, fluffy, and melts in your mouth – it is absolutely delicious and something you would never expect from the company that brought furniture. The lingonberry filling added just the right amount of tartness to the sweet quark mousse, which paired nicely with the almonds sprinkled on top.

The desserts are all made fresh in-store and come in five different flavors: Mango Crepes, Strawberry Crepes, Banana Nutella Crepes, Coconut Pancakes with Sautéed Bananas and Coconut Sauce, and Double Chocolate Pancakes with Hot Fudge Sauce.
The Banana Nutella Crepes were people’s favorite, as the sweet banana sauce balanced out the nutty flavor of the chocolate nicely.
