Desserts and snacks

As a dessert after a meal, most Afghans generally eat fresh fruit. For snacks, they may drink tea with something sweet like cakes, cookies or pastries. On occasions, they also eat dried fruits which are widely available in every Afghan market. Other typical desserts include the following:
- Afghan cake (similar to pound cake, sometimes with real fruit or jelly inside)
- Baklava (pastry)
- Bastani
- Cream roll (pastry)
- Falooda or Faloodeh
- Firini
- Fernea, sometimes spelled feereny, (milk and cornstarch help make this very sweet, similar to rice pudding without the rice)
- Kolcha (variety of cookies, baked in clay ovens with charcoal)
- Shir- Yakh, a traditional wet ice cream
- Sheer khurma, a traditional dessert
- Sholeh Zard
- Shir Berenj (rice pudding)
