This crossword uses clues about ingredients, origins, and preparation methods to test knowledge of desserts from around the world. Students must identify treats from descriptions like 'Italian frozen dessert, smoother than ice cream' (GELATO) or 'fried Spanish dough rolled in cinnamon sugar' (CHURRO).
