Morocco is a country that is passionate about sweet things, both Moroccan in origin as well as French. To satisfy their daily sweet tooth cravings, Moroccans resort to yogourts or fruits such as watermelons, apples, oranges, grapes, dates, or figs. Dried fruits are also popular in Morocco. Traveling to Morocco for a cuisine tour is one of the best ways to experience the culture and its foods, particularly deserts and pastries.

Desserts in Morocco come in all shapes, sizes, textures and are made with care for special occasions. If you don't want to wait for a holiday to fulfill your sweet craving, head for the street stalls, cafes and souks which are always well stocked with goodies.

Moroccan pastries are usually not too heavy and made with nuts, often almonds, so there is sure to be a fairly healthy choice.
