Which desserts are GFM (Gluten Free Modified)?

• A. Creme Brulee
• B. Sorbet
• C. Creme Brulee and Sorbet
• D. Gelato

Answer: (C)

This question tests which desserts are naturally gluten-free due to their ingredients and preparation, without relying on gluten-containing components or cross-contamination risk.

Creme brulee is a dairy-egg custard made from cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. It doesn’t include any gluten-containing ingredients, so it remains gluten-free when prepared with gluten-free flavorings and proper equipment. Sorbet consists of fruit, water, and sugar, also inherently gluten-free. When both are made and handled without gluten on shared equipment, they fit the Gluten Free Modified designation.

Gelato is typically gluten-free in its base form (milk, sugar, sometimes eggs), but it can include flavorings or inclusions that contain gluten, and cross-contact on equipment is a possibility. Because of that variability, it’s not guaranteed to be gluten-free without careful verification.

So, the best match for gluten-free modification is creme brulee and sorbet.
