From Second Hand Research Continued

Ecuador

There are desserts in Ecuador called espumillas, which are like spongy meringue nests, which are generally topped with cream and either blackberries and/or passionfruit.

Honduras

Whilst I could find no feasible Honduran dessert or even food in general to take inspiration from, although apparently the people in Honduras tend to eat a lot of berries, in particular raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. 

Nigeria

Because of both the size and location of Nigeria, their food culture varies largely on both location and time of the year. Tropical fruits are the predominant thing that are eaten year round across the country, with mangos, grapefruits and pineapples being particular favourites.  

Bosnia


Apparently, the main desserts in Bosnian family households are nuts, ice cream, and more interestingly small cubes of sponge cake covered in chocolate and coconut called cupavci.

Iran

A popular dessert in the Middle East are Persian poached pears, which are pears soaked in honey and white wine, topped with sugar and the option of nuts. 

Algeria

Algerian food has no sort of dessert that is noticeably "theirs", although I noticed in my research that a lot of their more traditional meals revolve around lamb and various types of sauces, with mint being a common ingredient. 

Korea

In south-east and east Asian culture it is uncommon for a dessert to follow a meal, instead people tend to have some sort of some sort of variety of herbal tea.
