Frequently asked questions

What are most desserts based on?

Most desserts are based on eggs, sugar, butter, milk or cream and one addition — chocolate, fruit, vanilla or coffee.

How do you make a no-bake dessert?

Creamy layered desserts, mousse, panna cotta, tiramisu and desserts with biscuits are made without an oven. They only need a few hours in the fridge.

Can I reduce the sugar?

In most desserts you can reduce the amount of sugar by 10 to 20% without much effect on the texture. With baked sweets be more careful, because sugar also affects how the dough rises.
