Chocolatiers
by Celia Cheng
SHELL
chocolate mousse
CHERRY
french cherry marinated in brady & ganache
PIANO
soft butterscotch caramel
The Shell, a light and fluffy chocolate mousse made from fresh cream, available in both milk and dark chocolate couverture, is my favorite chocolate in town. The Cherry is well composed as the brandy-marinated French cherry perfectly complements the dark chocolate ganache to create a smoothness that whispers tranquility. I am not generally a fan of caramel, but the Piano’s butterscotch caramel has a wonderfully soft and light consistency and is not overly sweet, convincing me how delicious good caramel can be. All three of these are delightful and sinful at the same time.
