Many of my friends believe that since I myself am a pastry chef, I only eat my own desserts. But this is not the case. I'm constantly trying new things that someone else has done. And recently I was able to taste a dessert that really surprised me.
First of all, I was surprised by its cost. I must say that I regularly try many different desserts and have already got used to the fact that in many places they are quite expensive. But this time I tried the most expensive dessert I have ever encountered.
I calculated that it costs more than 3 simple business lunches. Drum roll, dessert price 770 rubles. But it is also surprising that this is not the most expensive dessert in this place.
The signature dessert in this steakhouse costs almost a thousand rubles (870 rubles, to be exact). For this money, you can go to dinner for almost a week, and here only one dessert costs so much. But the cheesecake won't surprise me, so I took the Mandarin dessert. Let's take a look at it.
In reality, the dessert is almost indistinguishable from a real tangerine. Many viewers from my TikTok channel, where I showed how I cut it, did not understand that it was dessert. By the way, follow me on TikTok, I often post there what happens behind the scenes of filming recipes.It's time to see what's inside the dessert.
The "rind" of this dessert is a thin layer of chocolate tinted orange. Inside there are creamy mousse and kumquat jelly (these are such small "oranges"). Dessert is served on a chocolate chip crumb substrate. Time to try.
When I broke a piece, I worried that I would not like it and the money was wasted. But I was worried in vain.
The dessert is amazing. Delicate mousse with a delicate tangerine flavor and sweet and sour kumquat jelly go well together. Chocolate sandy backing and crispy chocolate set off the tenderness of the mousse. It's time to summarize.
If you don't think about the price, then this is an amazing dessert. But as a pastry chef, I can imagine how it's made. If we take into account only the cost of food, then the price of the dessert is clearly overstated, but the cost is also influenced by rent, salary and other factors.
Therefore, it is expensive or cheap, the buyer's wallet decides. I would love to buy this dessert again.
What do you think, how much should the dessert cost?
