INCLUSIONS

Recent consumer trends show that consumers are eager to discover unique texture combinations giving an element of surprise to their desserts.

This effect is usually achieved with the addition of inclusions to the creations. Inclusions add a little kick, different texture, dimension, and an extra crunch to chef creations. Today, chefs

are combining contrasting textures, like blending a crispy or crunchy component with a soft, fluffy crumb structure to make an otherwise ordinary creation extraordinary.
