Fall Desserts Part 1

The Tropical: Starting at the bottom; a coconut macaroon cake which I am told is delicious, then diced tropical fruit which includes papya, pineapple and strawberries. A passion glaze is then drizzled on top of the fruit. On the left of the cake is a scoop of coconut ice cream and to the right is a tropical chiboust (a meringue that has been folded into a thick custard and then set with gelatin.) To finish it off we have 2 pineapple chips as a garnish.
The Chocolate: Chocolate sauce is drawn onto the plate ancoring the hot chocolate tart. Hot fudge spills out of the tart as you dig in. On top of the tart we have a mint marshmellow which slightly melts by the time it gets to the guest, so that you have oowy, gooey goodness. And yes that is the proper technical term. A thin plaque of manjari chocolate (64% madagascarian chocolate) holds the mint ice cream and manjari ribbons garnish this dessert. This dessert is probably our most popular.
