Thanks for bring with us.
Are you a fan of desserts?
Dessert is a sweet line that many people end their meal with, comforting and satisfying your sweet tooth, a tradition worldwide. Dessert originates from the French word desservir, which means ‘to clear the table.’
The common quality among desserts is their sweetness. At the same time, the subtypes of this delicious meal differ in flavour and texture depending on the place.
There are several books written about desserts helping us taste the sweetness worldwide.
So let us go through this article to know more about the types of Desserts you have to know.
What is dessert explain?
In the United States dessert is likely to consist of pastry, cake, ice cream, pudding, or fresh or cooked fruit. British meals traditionally end with nuts, fruits, and port or other dessert wine, while French practice is to end with fruit, cheese, and wine;
In both Britain and France, a more elaborate meal would include a sweet course preceding the dessert offerings.
In Spain, Portugal, and Latin American countries, desserts of flan (a baked caramel custard) are ubiquitous.
Other rich sweets based on eggs, milk, and fruits also are preferred. The elaborate cakes and tarts of central and northern Europe make the dessert course a glory of these cuisines. Indian cuisine offers sweet puddings and dense cakes flavoured with rosewater, honey, and nuts.
In many cuisines, however, there is no usual sweet course; rather, fresh fruit, tea, or coffee constitute the end of the meal.
In Japan and China, elaborate confections are usually eaten as snacks rather than as part of a meal.
History of Desserts:
Sweets were fed to the gods in ancient Mesopotamia and ancient India and other ancient civilizations. Herodotus mentions that Persian meals featured many desserts, and were more varied in their sweet offerings than the main dishes.
German army officer Helmuth von Moltke whilst serving in the Ottoman Empire noted the unusual presentation of courses with the sweet courses served between roasts and other savory dishes.
Dried fruit and honey were probably the first sweeteners used in most of the world, but the spread of sugarcane around the world was essential to the development of dessert. Sugarcane was grown and refined in India before 500 BC and was crystallized, making it easy to transport, by AD 500.
Sugar and sugarcane were traded, making sugar available to Macedonia by 300 BC and China by AD 600.
In the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and China, sugar has been a staple of cooking and desserts for over a thousand years.
Sugarcane and sugar were little known and rare in Europe until the twelfth century or later when the Crusades and then colonization spread its use.
Europeans began to manufacture sugar in the Middle Ages, and more sweet desserts became available.
Even then sugar was so expensive usually only the wealthy could indulge on special occasions. The first apple pie recipe was published in 1381.
The earliest documentation of the term cupcake was in “Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats” in 1828 in Eliza Leslie’s Receipts cookbook.
The Industrial Revolution in Europe and later America caused led to the mass-production of foodstuffs, including desserts, that could be processed, preserved, canned, and packaged. Frozen foods, including desserts, became very popular starting in the 1920s.
What are the types of dessert?
The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, macaroons, sweet soups, tarts, and fruit salad. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness.
Many books have been written about desserts, understandably so. The subtypes of this delicious meal course differ in service, texture and flavor, but all desserts share one common quality: sweetness. And these treats, which are, luckily, absolutely abundant, are meant to satiate even the sweetest tooth.
Custards and Puddings:
Creamy custards and puddings typically include a thickened dairy base. The thickener used determines whether it’s a custard or a pudding.
Generally, custards are cooked and thickened with eggs. Crème brûlée and flan are both baked custards.
Puddings are thickened with starches. Two common types of puddings are rice and tapioca. Variations on puddings include vegan puddings and instant pudding.
Frozen Desserts:
Nothing beats the heat on a blazing summer’s day like a cooling ice cream. Ice cream consists of cream slowly stirred in a churn to freeze it to a creamy consistency. Gelato uses a milk base instead of cream and has less air mixed into it than ice cream. Frozen custard uses a cooked base of egg yolks.
For a dairy-free dessert, try a sorbet, which is made from churned fruit purees. Frozen yogurt uses yogurt rather than the heavier cream base of ice cream, which also makes it a lower calorie treat.
Cake:
Cake is a form of bread or bread-like food. In its current forms, it is usually a sweet baked dessert. In its oldest forms, cakes were usually fried breads or cheesecakes.
Modern cake, particularly layer cakes, normally contain a combination of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil, with some varieties also requiring liquid (naturally milk or water) and leavening agents (such as yeast or baking powder). Even liquor can be added into a cake.
A pound cake is usually baked in a loaf or Bundt pan. Many chocolate cakes, sour cream cakes, and fruit crumb cakes are dissimilarity of pound cake.
Cake is frequently served as a special dish on ceremonial occasions, for example anniversaries, weddings, and birthdays. There are numerous cake recipes; some are bread-like, some rich and elaborate, and several are centuries old.
Cake making is no longer a difficult procedure; while at one time significant labor went into cake making (predominantly the whisking of egg foams), baking utensils and instructions have been simplified so that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
Cookie:
Cookies is a sweet baked food that is usually small, flat, and round and is made from flour and sugar although oatmeal cookies are quite popular as well. In some English-speaking countries except for the US and Canada, crisp cookies are called this as biscuits.
Chewier biscuits are sometimes referred cookies even in the UK. Several cookies may also be called by their shape, such as date squares or bars.
Cookies or biscuits may be mass-produced in the factories, bake in small bakeries or home-made. Biscuit or cookie variants include sandwich biscuits for example Custard creams, Oreos, Bourbons and Jammy Dodgers, with marshmallow or jam rich and sometimes dipped in chocolate or another sweet coating.
Cookies are often served together with beverages like tea, chocolate, coffee, and milk. Factory-made cookies are sold in grocery stores, convenience stores and as well in vending machines. Fresh cookies are commonly sold at bakeries and coffeehouses, such as Starbucks.
Pies and Cobblers:
In dessert, pies are baked goods made from pastry dough (to make a pie shell) and sweet filling containing different ingredients, like fruits, sugar, sweetened veggies, or nuts.
You can classify them by pie crust. If they are lined on the baking dish with opened filling on the top of the pastry dough, this is the filled pie. In top-crust pies, the pastry (or other ingredients) will cover the filling in the bottom.
On the other hand, if you see the pastry shell completely covering the filling with bottom and top crusts, this is a double-crust pie. In general, pies are those that come with a bottom crust. And this is the biggest difference between pies and cobblers.
Some people think cobbler is a fruity pie since they typically contain fruit filling with a battered cover on the top. They normally do not have any bottom crust. However, some cobblers are deep pies with both top and bottom crusts in the American South cuisine.
While dessert pie’s origin is unknown, cobblers are a typical American dessert that originated in the British American colonies. And some pies have a “pie” in their name; they are not a pie technically, like Boston cream pie. Actually, this is a cake.
In case you want to make some “true” pie and cobbler, here are 2 famous recipes that you can prepare at home without too much effort.
Gelatins:
A protein acquired by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments of pigs or cows with water is called Gelatin. Marshmallows, cakes, ice creams, yoghurts, candy corn, gummy bears, trifles, jelly babies, candies are some desserts that use Gelatin.
In addition, there is a product called “agar-agar” derived from a kind of seaweed, a vegetarian gelatin option.
There is extensive use of Gelatin in food and non-food products, and there are different kinds and grades of Gelatin. Worldwide, every year, the production of Gelatin is about 375,000 to 400,000 tons.
A liquid thickened with Gelatin or another thickening agent is used to prepare Jellied desserts. For example, yokan is a Japanese jellied dessert, Grass jelly and Annin tofu are Chinese jelly desserts.
There are many dessert recipes based on Gelatin in addition to fruit or whipped cream in English-speaking countries.
Chocolates and Candies:
Chocolates and candy involve the crystallization of sugar. The size of the sugar crystals determines the texture of the candy.
Rock candy has large sugar crystals and a crunchy texture, but fudge contains small sugar crystals, giving it a smooth taste. Candy and chocolate desserts include fudge, caramel, lollipops, taffy, marshmallows, fondant, pralines and cotton candy.
Pastries:
A dough of flour, water, and shortening sweetened or savoury is called a Pastry. Likewise, the baked products prepared from ingredients like flour, sugar, milk, butter, egg, water, baking powder, and shortening are named “Pastries.”
Pies, quiches, pasties are the usual pastry dishes. The primary phase of pastry and dessert preparation is the presentation.
Many people eat pastries such as breakfast food, with tea or coffee. For example, the shortbread with a high-fat and crispy texture or any light and flaky bread with an airy texture such as croissant are both considered pastries.
In addition, fruits, chocolate, nuts, and spices are popular pastry fillings.
Ice Cream:
Ice cream (named from earlier iced cream or cream ice) is a sweetened frozen food usually eaten as a snack or dessert. It is typically prepared from dairy products, like milk and cream, and frequently mixes together with fruits or other ingredients and flavors available in the market such as vanilla.
It is naturally sweetened by sucrose, corn syrup, cane sugar, beet sugar, and other sweeteners. Usually, flavorings and colorings are added in addition to stabilizers.
The combination of ingredients is stirred to incorporate air spaces and cooled under the freezing point of water to avoid detectable ice crystals from forming. The ice cream becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.
What is the oldest dessert in the world?
Ashure (Noah’s Pudding) is thought to be the oldest dessert in the world, first made by Noah after his fabled landfall at Mt Ararat. It is a delightful mix of dried fruit, nuts, grains and beans (yes, beans!) made in Turkey and all over the Middle East. Give it a try – you’ll be glad you did!
Who invented the first dessert?
Sweets were fed to the gods in ancient Mesopotamia and ancient India and other ancient civilizations. Dried fruit and honey were probably the first sweeteners used in most of the world, but the spread of sugarcane around the world was essential to the development of dessert.
What is the world’s best dessert?
1) Cream Brulee (FRANCE) –
You gotta give this exotic dessert item,at least a try for sure. It is the simplest to bake even by an amateur baker if he/she has an oven at home. Back in the 17th century, this dessert was introduced by Francois Massialot, a chef of a kitchen of a Duke of Orlean, who wrote about its recipe in a book.
A creamy pastry a thin, crisp caramel layer is what is referred to as cream brulee and which has stolen everyone’s heart.
2) Mochi ( JAPAN) –
As sweet as the name of this dessert seems Mochi is a traditional Japanese dessert which is prepared with sticky rice.
Pounded in a mortar, turned it to paste and made scones or pellets from it, resulting in making this dessert item which is the heart of every Japanese festival. To take the yumminess up by a level, a scoop of ice cream is served along with Mochi.
