Menu Description:
“WHITE HIBISCUS.” “Biscuit Cuiller,” Hibiscus Jelly, White Chocolate “Bavarois” and Kendall Farms’ Crème Fraîche Sherbet
Or
“GLACE À LA VANILLE.” Banana Bread and Roasted Banana Jam
Like with the cheese course, the dessert course offers a choice between two options. If you are looking for a traditionally indulgent duo – go for the banana bread with vanilla ice cream. It’s everything an indulgence should be: warm banana bread soaked with cool vanilla ice cream and hot roasted banana jam. A side of banana flavored wafer curls brings some texture and childhood memories to the table.
If you are looking for a more refreshing and adventurous dessert, go for the “White Hibiscus.” The main affair consists two cakes layered with hibiscus jelly. One is topped with crème fraîche sherbet. A foam of sweet hibiscus adds a bit of pop while minty dollops of crème fraîche dot the plate. A curl of white chocolate with hibiscus provides a dramatic visual.
