We are doing plated desserts again. The first plated desserts unit wasn't my favorite unit and I'm not convinced that the second one is going to be an improvement, but I do really enjoy the food we make and it's certainly an important learning experience. This was really nice! It is a dome of mint parfait (a frozen dessert made of a frozen mixture of whipped cream and pate a bombe) filled with chocolate parfait and set atop a piece of flourless chocolate cake--it's actually built in a silicon dome mold, so the cake goes on last and, once it's frozen, it's flipped out. We sprayed it with chocolate (that's melted and thinned with extra cocoa butter) to give it some texture. Also on the plate is orange and mint salad, a chocolate cigarette, candied orange peel, chocolate sauce, and shortbread. I'm not sure why we used the shortbread with it as it was rather unnecessary, but it was good.
