Just by the River Mersey and a short walk from Liverpool’s various central stations, you’ll find one of the UK’s many branches of Heavenly Desserts. Since it was founded in 2008, this chain has gone from strength to strength and has expanded to the USA, Canada, Denmark and Pakistan. The company prides itself on attention to detail and creativity, offering diners a huge range of desserts and drinks. Unlike many other dessert chains, the decor in Heavenly Desserts is modern and stylish, with comfy banquettes and floral arrangements. The Liverpool site is no exception and features soft lighting, tall plants and cream sofas.
Arrive at Heavenly Desserts hungry, as there is a lot to be enjoyed here. While you browse the menu, you can enjoy a quick shot of chocolate, white chocolate or Nutella, before getting stuck into the main event. If you’re looking to pull out all the stops when it comes to your dessert, we recommend building your own. That way you can customise it to your exact liking. First, you choose a base, like crepes, pancakes or waffles. After that, add lashings of sauce such as Belgian chocolate, strawberry or maple syrup, then toppings. Finally, add a scoop of your ice cream of choice (actually, you can add up to four scoops, so you really can pull out all the stops).
Elsewhere on the menu, you’ll find the house signatures. These include the ‘I’ll have what she’s having’, which features your choice of base topped with fresh strawberries, warm Belgian chocolate, stracciatella ice cream and a drizzle of strawberry sauce. The royale, meanwhile, includes warm Nutella, chopped nuts, crushed Ferrero Rocher and a scoop of hazelnut supreme gelato. In terms of drinks, there’s plenty of choice there too, with staples like tea, coffee and soft drinks alongside more lavish options like smoothies, iced lattes and milkshakes.
