Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This dessert consists of an ice and syrup base, and is usually flavored with fruits, coffee, or wine.

Answer: Granita

The granita, originating from France and Italy, is made by boiling sugar, water, and flavourings of choice to form a syrup. This is then frozen until crystals are formed. To serve, the granita is scraped with a fork, or other utensil, and placed in glasses or bowls.

2. This cake, made with very little if any flour at all, is often made up of several layers and filling.

Answer: Torte

3. This dessert, like a crepe, can be filled with sweet ingredients to make it a dessert, or meat to make it part of a lunch or dinner.

Answer: Blintz

The blintz is very similar to the crepe, but the difference is in the amount of butter. The extra butter in the blintz makes it very thin and delicate. When making the dessert, the blintz is filled with cottage or ricotta cheese, and fruit, and then saut�ed until golden brown.

4. This tube shaped pastry is deep fried before a rich filling is inserted into it.

Answer: Cannoli

The Cannoli, an Italian dessert, is very pleasing to the eye. The tube shaped pastry shell, (or in some cases horn-shaped shell) is filled with a sweetened cream, ricotta, or whipped cream, and bits of chocolate, nuts, or candied citrus fruit.

5. This dessert takes its name from the French word for "froth" or "foam." It also shares its name with a hair styling product.

Answer: Mousse

Mousse can either be sweet and cold, when a dessert, or hot and spicy, when made with meat, vegetables, fish, or other such ingredients. As a dessert, mousse is stiffened and fluffed by the addition of whipped cream or egg whites, and often flavoured with fruit or chocolate. Mousse is also used to complete other desserts, such as pies.

6. This dessert is made from pureed fruit and whipped cream.

Answer: Fool

8. This dessert, made with fruit and coconut, is sometimes served as a salad, and shares its name with an alcoholic drink.

Answer: Ambrosia

In Greek mythology, ambrosia means "immortality", and was said to have been the food of the gods on Mt.Olympus. As a dessert, ambrosia is made with chilled fruit (usually oranges and bananas, and mixed with coconut. As a drink, it is made with cognac, brandy, ice and either cointreau or raspberry syrup.

9. This dessert shares its French name with the mold in which it is baked.

Answer: Dariole

The dariole is a small cylinder mold. The dessert itself is made by lining the mold with puff pastry and filing it with an almond cream. These days, dariole can also be made with vegetable custard to create a savory dish.

10. This upside down French dessert, primarily made of apples and a pastry crust, was invented by two sisters.

Answer: Tarte Tatin

The Tarte Tatin is made by filling a shallow dish with butter, sugar, apples, and finally a pastry crust. When the dish is inverted onto a dish, the sugar and butter, which were on the bottom, create a caramel topping. The French call this dish "tarte des demoiselles Tatin", meaning "the tart of two unmarried women named Tatin." This name refers to the two sisters who lived in the Loire Valley and made their living from this dessert.
