09: Other Desserts |

Print this Recipe Imagination is the basic ingredient for all desserts. The same eggs, flour, butter, cream, chocolate and sugar can be used to make hundreds of kinds of cookies, candies or cake--or something no one has ever dreamed of. Cheesecakes, pies and cakes have been around since ancient times, but "squares," "parfaits" and crescent cups are all newcomers to the dessert table, inspired both by innovations in technology and by imagination. Organize all of your own recipes with the Cook'n Recipe Software. Watch and see how easy it is! It's hard to conceive of a kitchen without a refrigerator and freezer, but not long ago refrigeration was a new technology. Ruby Razz Crunch, a 1956 Bake-Off® recipe, was inspired in part by the new refrigerators in middle-class homes, and it combines the then newly available frozen fruits with the idea of freezing whipped cream for a topping. It's also hard to remember a time without boxed mixes or refrigerated dough, but 1968's Cookie Cheesecake Squares depends on those once-new products. Peaches and Cream Crescent Dessert, from the 1978 contest, would have taken a whole day with rolling pins and pastry boards before refrigerated crescent dinner rolls became available. In 1990, Praline Pecan Cheesecake was inspired in part by the explosion in availability and variety of products such as candy bars and ice cream topping, which contribute to a decadent cake fit for a king. Who knows what the desserts of the future will be like, influenced by new inventions and combinations of ingredients? We have yet to imagine. Whatever evolves, these desserts will depend on the inspiration of creative cooks, for technology is all but useless without imagination to put it to work.
