We have collected the most popular nine desserts from around the world. Be careful it causes appetite!
"Tiramisu"
The exquisite “Tiramisu” has held the palm among Italian desserts for the fifth century. The airy cake was first prepared at the end of the 17th century for the Tuscan Duke Cosimo de' Medici, who was known as a great lover of sweets. And today, many restaurants and cafes around the world offer this truly best dessert, for the preparation of which mascarpone cheese, Savoyardi cookies and Marsala wine are necessarily used.
Sacher cake
Sachertorte joins the list of the best desserts in the world and is the national pride of the Austrians. Its true taste can only be experienced at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna. The cake bears the name of its creator Franz Sacher, who served as the head of confectioners at the court of Austrian Chancellor Prince Clemens Metternich.
Strudel
The first known recipe for strudel (milk-cream) dates back to 1696 and was published in a cookbook by an unknown author published in Vienna. This is an Austrian flour dish in the form of a roll of stretched dough with various fillings (most often apple).
Dessert "Pavlova"
The Green Continent also has something to be proud of. Anna Pavlova is the most famous and best dessert in Australia. The fluffy meringue cake got its name not because the great ballerina loved to eat it. During Mrs. Pavlova's tour of Australia in 1929, she performed in Perth. A few years later, the owner of the hotel where the ballerina stayed asked her pastry chef to create an original new dessert. After much experimentation, the pastry chef conjured up a cake with whipped cream, meringue and fruit. Seeing this sweet miracle, the woman impulsively exclaimed: “Oh, this is like light, like... Pavlova!” Initially, the famous dancer's edible meat was prepared with kiwi and passion fruit. Over time, exotic fruits were replaced by strawberries.
Guinness cake
The Irish have their own idea of celebrating Christmas or St. Patrick's Day. And alcohol plays an important role there, even in desserts. And the combination of chocolate and beer in a cake will be simply unsurpassed.
Mochi
Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake made from sticky rice. This holiday dish comes in dozens of variations. For example, daifuku, mochi with a sweet bean filling, is very popular in Japan. “Yukimi daifuku” - mochi with ice cream balls inside - received worldwide recognition. It’s not very easy to prepare them at home, but if you have a chance to order them in a restaurant, then it’s definitely worth a try.
Cheesecake
Cheesecake is a dessert of European and American cuisine that contains cheese (most often ricotta or mascarpone), cookies and fruit. The first cheesecakes appeared in Ancient Greece. In the 6th-7th centuries, this delicacy was called “placenta” and was served to athletes at the Olympic Games to maintain physical strength. But the recipe for a classic cheesecake came to us from New York. Restaurateur Arnold Reuben was the first to use cream cheese rather than cottage cheese in a recipe, hence the name that has survived to this day.
Gelato
A popular frozen dessert (Italian ice cream) made from fresh cow's milk, cream and sugar, with the addition of berries, nuts, chocolate and fresh fruit. Gelato differs from regular ice cream in its low milk fat content: gelato contains several times less milk fat than regular ice cream (4-6% in gelato). At the same time, gelato contains more sugar. This ice cream is creamy, soft and dense in texture, it melts slowly due to its low air content (about 25%, while traditional ice cream contains just over 52% air).
