Play Desserts 2048 online
Desserts 2048 is the classic sliding-tile puzzle served on a dessert trolley. Every tile is a sweet treat, and merging two of the same turns them into something fancier. Start with a single cookie and keep going until you build a tiered wedding cake. It is free to play in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with no download.
The ladder visits desserts from around the world. Mooncakes are eaten during China’s Mid-Autumn Festival, flan is a caramel custard loved in Spain and Latin America, and tiramisu comes from the Veneto region of Italy, where it was popularised in the 1960s and 1970s. A chocolate fondue and a full wedding cake finish the menu.
The 11 dessert tiles
The tiles go from quick snacks to celebration centrepieces. A cookie and a glazed donut are the everyday treats, then come the cold ones, shaved ice and an ice cream sundae. Flan and the Chinese mooncake add a world tour, and the frosted cupcake and apple pie bring bakery classics. Tiramisu, the coffee-soaked Italian layered dessert, is a step up again. Chocolate fondue is a dessert for sharing at the table. The 2048 tile is the wedding cake, the tall tiered cake that is the grandest dessert at most celebrations.

2048Tips to win Desserts 2048
- Put your best dessert in a corner and leave it there. Keep Fondue right next to it so a second Fondue can merge straight into the Wedding Cake.
- Build a falling row such as Tiramisu, Apple Pie, Cupcake, Mooncake. Merging the smallest one can then move the whole row up a course.
- Keep low tiles like Cookie and Donut on the far side of the board. Merge them there and slide the results toward your chain instead of mixing them in.
