Traditional North Carolina Desserts
Locals say no Sunday meal is complete without these classic North Carolina desserts, which carry the flavors of history and heritage across the state.
In the Piedmont, Moravian treats bring a touch of old-world sweetness, while coastal kitchens offer rich, buttery confections shaped by the sea and sun.
These desserts hold a special place at Sunday gatherings, preserving family traditions with each bite, and are more than just recipes, they are treasured heirlooms that celebrate community, culture, and the enduring love for sweets.
Butter-rich dough dotted with cinnamon-sugar pockets makes this breakfast treat legendary in Winston-Salem.
The recipe came over with German settlers in the 1700s, and families still wake early on Sundays to pull these golden squares from the oven, filling each dimple with brown sugar and melted butter before baking, creating caramelized pools of sweetness.
