About Desserts

Dessert is largely a matter of what happens to sugar, eggs, cream and flour under heat or cold. Whip egg whites with sugar and you get meringue, stiff enough to hold a peak; fold whipped cream into melted chocolate and you get mousse. Gelato is churned slower and served warmer than American ice cream, which makes it denser. Sorbet skips dairy entirely. Tiramisu layers coffee-soaked ladyfingers with mascarpone, while a cobbler hides fruit under a rough biscuit topping.

Reach for this at the end of a cooking or baking unit, or on any afternoon when a class needs a settled twenty minutes.
