Daniela’s Dessert

Dessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food but sometimes of a strongly flavored one, such as some cheeses. The word comes from the Old French desservir, “to clear the table.” Common desserts include cakes, cookies, fruits, pastries, ice cream and candies.

Pate a choux (Puff pastry)
Chou (x) pastry, paste, or dough (French pate a choux) is a light pastry dough used to make profiteroles, éclairs, French crullers, beignets, and gougers. It contains only butter, water, flour and eggs. Its raising agent is the high moisture content, which creates steam during baking, puffing out the pastry

Tirami su
The Italian Dessert!! Tirami su is one of the most famous Italian dessert concoctions. Some have opined that its name, which translates as ‘pick me up” or ‘carry me up”, refers to the caffeinated lift it gave to the courtesans of Treviso (the town near Venice where the dish is said to have been created). Others prefer to think the name reflects the fact that it is so delicious it will “carry you up” to heaven.

Chocolate Mousse
One of the most famous and classic dessert out there! I think the best Chocolate Mousse is made with dark Chocolate (Semisweet 62% or even Bittersweet 70%) And that’s what we are using Bittersweet! The Bittersweet flavor is just great with the consistent of the mousse.
