Haute Top 5: Best Desserts in Miami 2017
1 Fried Oreos from Prime 112
The legendary Miami steakhouse that is a home-away-from-home to A-listers and celebs boasts the famous Fried Oreos as the top dessert item on their menu. The splurge-worthy fried balls of perfection are the only fitting way to finish off a night at Prime 112, and will certainly leave you satisfied by the end of your feast. The warm dough balls are cooked to a crisp on the outside, with warm chocolate oozing from the inside upon the first bite, paired delectably with the French vanilla ice cream.

2 Key Lime Pie from Joe's Stone Crab
Joe's Stone Crab is easily one of Miami's most historic restaurants, located in Miami's Beach's SoFi area. The emblematic seafood restaurant is guaranteed to have a full house every day and night of the week for two reasons: 1. for its stone crabs, and 2. for its world-famous Key Lime Pie. The famed sweet dessert is a must-try if you're going to Joe's, and if you prefer to just get a quick fix of the treat, head to Joe's Take Away so you can indulge in it later.

3 Vanilla Cake from Macaluso's
The Italian Miami Beach restaurant is equally as known for its famous Vanilla Cake as it is for its authentic Ricotta Meatballs. The soft vanilla cake is topped with a fantastic vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles, and pairs exquisitely with the complimenting cold vanilla ice cream on the side—the perfect final touch to a delicious Italian meal.
4 Donuts from The Salty Donut
The artisanal Wynwood donut shop is known for its Instagram-famous chef-made, small batch donuts. What first started out as a local food truck has quickly turned into one of Miami's top go-to spots for sweets and treats, with a new brick-and-mortar shop located in the heart of Wynwood. While they offer many amazing seasonal donuts, such as the limited-edition "Unicorn Donut" created by David and Isabela Grutman, their classic favorites are what keeps people coming back for more, such as the Traditional Glazed Donut, the Guava + Cheese, Nutella, Maple + Bacon and more. No matter what flavor you choose, it's guaranteed to be a home-run.

5 Beignets from Lightkeepers at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne
The new waterfront restaurant just opened at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne. The quiet restaurant with breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay is the perfect setting to indulge in this delectable dessert. The authentic beignets will take you to New Orleans with each bite, and come served with chocolate and guava dipping sauces for some extra flavor, although they're just as delicious on their own.
