Some typical Belizean desserts are:
Coconut pie. Ingredients include 1.5 grated coconuts, 3 eggs (beaten), 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg, 1 teaspoon lemon or vanilla essence, 1 small can evaporated milk and ¾ tin condensed milk.
Fudge. Belize fudge is made with sweetened condensed milk. Condensed milk is used a lot in Belizean desserts perhaps because of Belize’s British influence. Ingredients: 1 can condensed milk (Carnation or Nestle), 1/3 cup white sugar...

Belize has different desserts. We have cakes, flans, cold cakes, salads, etc. You will find all kinds of desserts here. The common desserts that you will find here are cakes and flans. Cold cakes are also very common in Belize. Cold cakes are no-bake cakes. A cold cake is made of biscuits layered with milk and cream and some fruit cocktail on top. You put it in the fridge for several hours and it’s good to go. We call it “cold cake”...

We have some family members who do not eat sweets so instead of a sweet dessert, we prepare salads for them. We mix cucumber, lettuce and tomatoes, topped with some lime and salt.
