Yoruba sweets hum with subtlety, transforming beans and grains into symphonies of comfort. Our Akara Soufflé reimagines the black-eyed pea fritter traditionally fried for breakfast, with roots in southwestern Nigeria as a light, chili-honey glazed delight. Ofada Rice Pudding, creamy with coconut foam, echoes family gatherings where rice puddings seal meals sweetly.

Dessert evolution: From akara's street-side origins to our soufflé, incorporating global techniques while preserving heritage. Poll: Favorite Yoruba sweet? Akara or moin-moin?

Try our simplified parfait: Layer citrus with candied yams Ukodo-inspired for peppery zest.
