History, tradition and origin

Desserts set with eggs or cream are found in every European kitchen. Custard under a burnt sugar crust is claimed by France, England and Spain. Cream set with gelatine comes from Piedmont in northern Italy. The layered dessert of coffee-soaked sponge and mascarpone is a creation of the Veneto in the 1960s or 1970s. Fried pastry tubes filled with ricotta come from Sicily.

Food economy and industry

These desserts are made from a few dairy ingredients, so they are low in cost and high in margin for restaurants. They depend on fresh cream, eggs and cheeses such as mascarpone and ricotta. Ricotta is made from whey left over from cheese making, turning a by-product into an ingredient.
