What influences the way in which we enjoy food?
What makes a süße sweet snack unforgettable?
It’s more than just the flavour! The answer lies in the way we perceive experiences and store them in our memory. After all, what we remember is not just the flavour, but the feeling we associated with it. And this feeling comes about when we’re confronted with the unexpected.
Temperature, looks, consistency, the sound when you take a bite – all of these combine to create an overall impression. A dessert that appeals to all the senses will be experienced more intensively – and lingers longer in the mind.
Winning combinations – and why they work
- Raspberry-Lime-Slices: fruit and cream. Freshness combines with softness. Berries and citrus fruits add lightness, while cream and quark bring balance.
- Walnut Crunch Triangles: crunchy and tender. A crunchy topping or a crisp base contrast with soft fillings, creating excitement and a special mouthfeel.
- Tiramisu-Cake: the classic dessert, revisited. Tried-and-trusted tiramisu with a twist – creates a sense of familiarity yet intrigue at the same time.
- Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake: The sweet and salty combination adds depth to your desserts and makes them decidedly moreish.
Practical tip: how to turn your desserts into small everyday treats
There are many ways in which small treats can be integrated into daily business – whether at breakfast, at a conference, as a dessert or in a care institution. Examples:
- Brownie - Winter Mass recipe: a jar to-go, filled with a tasty combination of ingredients
- Sweet and fruity power pack recipe: A sweet touch on a tray – perhaps as a surprise
- "Tropic Twist" Mango Cake recipe: Pieces of cake with a seasonal topping to add appeal to a buffet
