Dessert is a fun ending to many meals. How about a dessert flip! And there is research to back up this choice.
With the continued push to eat more plant foods, why not add them to dessert! Sensory research conducted at the University of California-Davis and the Culinary Institute of America evaluated dessert choices of 118 college students. They wanted to see if increased amounts of plant food garnishes, such as fruit and nuts, would entice diners to make the flip. Instead of the conventional 80% cake and 20% fruit and nuts combination, more participants chose a dessert of 80% fruit and nuts with 20% cake.
Making the dessert flip can also reduce the cost per serving while increasing fruits and nuts. It is as simple as cutting a smaller piece of cake and adding fruit to dress it up.
