They 're Different !

Often people think it's just one dessert but with different spellings. But they actually different types of dessert. Stop offending your palate tickers and get to know them!

 Macaroons & Macarons 

This would be the biggest dessert misconception of all time. Macaroons are small meringue -like cookies that actually contain coconut or almonds. 

While macarons are also meringue-like cookies but they sandwiched together with various fillings. 

Sherbet & Sorbet

Sherbet is a frozen fruit dessert that is made with milk,egg white, sugar and fruits.

A Sorbet  on the other hand is a dessert made with the same ingredients but minus the dairy product.
