It is said that everyone has another stomach for dessert. Even after a full meal, everyone seems to have another stomach for dessert as soon as dessert appears after the meal. That's the power of sweets! This article introduces the special desserts from all over the world. Let us follow these traditional desserts with high appearance and good taste and take a trip around the world.


1. Cannoli, Sicily, Italy


Palermo, the city of Sicily at the southern tip of Italy, is not only the capital of Sicily, but also the birthplace of the classic Italian dessert Cannoli. The world-famous Cannoli is not only an Italian dessert, but also one of the most important food cultures in Sicily. There are different theories about its birth. It is speculated that it appeared when the Arabs occupied Sicily. It is usually one of the desserts that must be eaten at carnivals. Over time, it has gradually developed into an ordinary dessert in daily life.


The outer skin of Cannoli is fried with oiled crepes to create a crunchy texture, which is called "Scorza" in Italian. Roll it into a tube and wrap it with Sheep Ricotta, chocolate or pistachios.


2. Trifle, UK


Trifle, a traditional dessert found everywhere in the UK. Layers of custard, fruit-soaked sponge cake, fresh fruit or jam, and finished with a heavy squeeze of white whipped cream. Just staring at it will make you drool and want to eat one of Britain's most wicked desserts. What's more deadly is that once you take a bite, you can't stop. The name Trifle, at first glance, thought it was a truffle-related ingredient, but the word actually comes from the Old French "Trufle", which means trivial, trivial things.


The term Trifle first appeared in a British cookbook in 1585 in The Good Huswifes Jewell, in which author Thomas Dawson called it Trifle with a cream with sugar, ginger and rosewater. At this time, Trifle was only one of the ingredients for making cream mixed with fruit (Fool, Old English spelling Foole), and did not yet have its own independent dessert character. It wasn't until the eighteenth century that foodie Hannah Glasse began to establish a clear recipe for Trifle in recipe books - adding a layer of jelly, it slowly approached the Trifle dessert we see in modern times. Now Trifle has evolved into a variety of different flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, and even the ingredients can be replaced at will. The most attractive part of Trifle is not only that it is so delicious that you cannot stop eating it, but also that it is so varied that you can challenge different tastes every day!


3. Apfelstrudel, Austria


Apfelstrudel, which is similar to apple pie, originated in Hungary and is popular in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic, and has even become one of the iconic desserts in Austria. Why are the Austrians so crazy about it? Apfelstrudel was first recorded in a cookbook around the 17th century, and it happens to be kept in the Vienna City Library now.


Under the various changes in history, some people speculate that Apfelstrudel is a food culture left by the Turks, because this thin layer of meringue is similar to the practice of traditional Turkish desserts, such as Baklava.
