Dessert in Haitian Creole is desè, a spelling that follows French dessert but is written the way it sounds.

Say desè for any sweet dish after the meal. You can ask Kisa ou vle pou desè? to mean "What would you like for dessert?"

Meaning: sweet course at the end of a meal (noun)

Did you know?

Haitian Creole spelling drops French double letters, so dessert becomes desè.

Examples in context

Mwen renmen desè.
I love dessert.

Example conversation

Marie asks her guest Paul about dessert after dinner.

Marie

Kisa ou vle pou desè?
What would you like for dessert?
Paul

Mwen vle yon ti desè.
I would like a little dessert.
Marie

Se byen.
Good.
