Answer Key
Mostly As: You should have a box of chocolates, a chocolate bar, or hot cocoa! For you, it isn’t dessert unless it involves chocolate! Something rich and creamy like hot cocoa, or something sharp and bitter like a bar of dark chocolate would suit you best. No need for fancy pastries—pure chocolate is best!
Mostly Bs: You should have sticky date pudding or date candies! In the desert, dates are often used as a natural sweetener and are an ideal ingredient for candies or puddings!
Mostly Cs: You should have crepes, strudel, or luqaimat! Bready, sweet, and warm, these pastry treats from France, Germany, and UAE (respectively) can satisfy almost any sweet tooth!
Mostly Ds: You should have fried plantains or mamey sapote! These Mexican fruits have a unique creamy sweetness that’s impossible to resist.
Mostly Es: You should have sweet potato cake with fresh persimmon and green tea! The richness of the sweet potato will perfectly balance the tangy persimmon, and green tea will finish it off with a mellow earthy vibe. This Japanese-inspired dessert will be sure to satisfy!
