A dessert is a sweet treat that you eat after your main meal. It's usually something like cake, ice cream, or pie.

When we talk about desserts in English, it's common to use the word as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to the sweet thing itself - "I had a delicious chocolate dessert last night." As a verb, it means to have that sweet treat after your meal - "We're going out for dinner and will dessert with some ice cream afterwards."

In everyday conversation, people often talk about desserts as a way of ending a meal. For example, you might order dessert at a restaurant or ask someone if they want to go get some ice cream together. Some restaurants even have special menus just for desserts, which is a fun way to try new and interesting sweet treats.
