Dessert burger: a food trend to our taste

Welcome to a dessert world where everything is allowed and your creativity knows no bounds. Only those on a diet here have lost.

Our sniffers have sniffed out a new food trend that was probably imported directly from the land of milk and honey. We're talking about – hold on – dessert burger. A symbiosis of sweet dessert and our favorite fast food: the hamburger. A childhood dream come true! Which genius do we have to thank for that?

Why don’t more places do dessert burgers? Honestly there’s a whole market there that a lot of places are sleeping on. I can only name maybe 2 or 3 spots that I know of in Melbourne that do them. ??‍♂️ Surely a gap @backyardburgs can squeeze into! ? * Threw that brownie recipe ⬇️ below! * Anyway, seeing as no where near me does a dessert burger, I just had to take it into my own hands .. again .. not the first time. ? * This one was loaded up with Golden @oreo, @halotopau Vanilla Bean, Salted Caramel Popcorn, a helping heap of @lotusbiscoffau and of course, a protein brownie .. because health and fatness! Brown * This brownie came out super gooey in the middle, which is just how I like it. You can swipe to a disgusting cross section to check that out if it tickles your fancy! Obviously made the brownie using @myproteinau whey, because it’s fiya for baking. Love the stuff. * ? Double Choc Protein Brownie. ? * 25g Flour 30g @myproteinau Vanilla Whey 15g @myproteinau Powdered Peanut Butter 10g Cocoa Powder 2g Sweetener of Choice 1 Egg 30ml Sugar Free Maple Syrup 50g Low Fat Greek Yoghurt * 1. Sieve flour, protein, powdered PB, baking powder and sweetener into mixing bowl. 2. Add your egg, Greek yoghurt and sugar free maple syrup. 3. Stir to combine. 4. Add choc chips and stir to combine once more. 5. Add to a small baking dish and put in a preheated oven at 180C for 13-15 minutes. 6. Allow to cool and smash! * Cals: 414 (for whole recipe) 33C 45P 8.5F

Real imposter!

The water already runs in your mouth. But how does it work? Bring the recipe! There is no correct instruction for the Trendburger, but one should follow a certain blueprint. Since the burger itself is not the most stable dish and the whole thing all too often ends up in a huge mess, it is also an advantage here to stack wisely. It starts very traditionally with a burger bun or brioche. Pancakes, brownies or ice cream are used as intermediate floors, which increases the stability of the burger. Your imagination is happy to go through with you. Then it's time to fine-tune it. With extras such as peanut butter, caramel or chocolate cream, up to oreo, melted marshmallows or fresh fruit slices, you can top the different layers. Hallelujah!

Sugar overload?

If you put the whole thing in a shock state of sugar, you can of course shift down a gear. There are also dessert burgers that combine both flavors – sweet and savory. For example, a meatball meets caramel, sprinkles and BBQ sauce. Or strips of crispy fried bacon are dusted with powdered sugar and caramelized. These combinations definitely guarantee a taste explosion in your mouth and make your 0815 burger a star fast food.

Yes, the new food trend is pretty tough. But the dessert burger is just right for lovesickness and heartache, mood depths, cravings and period cravings. Or if you just feel like trying something new. In this sense: for a happy smacking!
