Rich desserts are a type of dessert that is usually made with high-quality ingredients and is often very decadent. Examples of rich desserts include mousses, which are light and airy desserts made with cream and eggs, tortes, which are multi-layered cakes filled with cream or jam, banana cream pies, which are made with a pastry crust and a creamy banana filling, and charlotte russes, which are made with ladyfingers and a custard filling.
