TL;DR
Must-try Vietnamese desserts in Nha Trang include kem bơ (avocado ice cream), chè (sweet bean soup with coconut milk), chuối nướng (grilled banana in sticky rice), and chuối chiên (fried banana).
Kem bơ is a creamy avocado-based ice cream made with condensed milk and coconut ice cream, topped with shredded coconut. It's one of the most distinctive local desserts you won't easily find outside Vietnam.
Chè is a traditional Vietnamese sweet soup often eaten for breakfast. It's made with beans, jelly, and coconut milk, with a texture that's simultaneously chewy, soft, and crunchy. Fillings vary widely — beans, lotus seeds, dried fruits. Filling yet light.
Chuối nướng are grilled bananas wrapped in sticky rice, drizzled with coconut sauce, and sprinkled with crushed peanuts. Served warm — a hearty and fragrant street dessert.
Chuối chiên are deep-fried bananas with a crispy golden crust and soft caramelized interior. Sold as street food — dangerously easy to keep eating.
