Mexican Feast for Two

Taco shells (sweet short paste), black beans (almond clusters), sour cream (whipped cream), salsa (strawberries), lettuce (mint leaves), & cheese (mango). Served with frozen strawberry margaritas (strawberry granita).


Spot the difference? The glasses were rimmed with medium sugar.

Tropical Duo

FRONT: Coconut & ginger sorbet in a cocoa-flavoured coconut tuille cup, with the inside brushed with white chocolate.
BACK: Créme caramel with a pineapple ring. Grill mark + green sugar pieces = pineapple-y look...?


No contrast in height or colour :(

Where's the coffee?

Chocolate mousse (cubes; hidden not shown) in a chocolate cup, topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. Served with a brandy roll.


There's nothing "coffee" about this dessert but it says "Café"...

Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and pieces of ladyfinger are hidden inside the chocolate sphere. Served with warm créme anglaise.

* inspired by this beautiful recipe that I found online...
merci beaucoup :)

Vacherin, Reconstructed.

This is the reconstructed version of Vacherin I made a little while ago. Chocolate ice cream pyramid is masked with whipped cream, topped with two meringue hearts, sprinkled with chocolate shavings.
