The start of Autumn! (desserts at CODA)

I have neglected the site for a whole month and I would like to make up for it. Life just doesn't have enough hours in a day to do everything. However, warming up this cool weather, I have for you a few desserts!



"Rocky Road" Chocolate bar

The last flavour of chocolate bars for the summer is the "rocky road". Which one did you guys enjoy? Anyhow, this chocolate bar contains Valrhona chocolate creme, marshmallows, chocolate hazelnut mousse, roasted almonds and almond infused ice cream. It's delicious!! the marshmallow is such a treat with a light orange blossom scent and the texture of the dish as a whole is amazing!


HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY to all you love birds out there!! This hot oozy chocolate was served with raspberry foam and vanilla ice cream garnished with fresh raspberries and rose petals. 

To make it less lovey dovey...


Chocolate fondant with vanilla bean ice cream and crispy caramel rice

Welcome to the first Autumn dish to be presented on the menu! Hot oozy chocolate teamed up with freshly churned vanilla bean ice cream and the caramel rice. The rice is a cereal you make refer to as "rice bubbles" but they're round =P All a dessert ever should be is on this plate! For me anyway! hehe YUM!!!


Mixed berry souffle with fresh berry salad and yoghurt sorbet

I slaved away cooking the berries, blitzing it to a puree and passing it through a fine sieve in order to get the beautiful smooth tasting souffle!! Please come and enjoy the last bites of summer!!! The berries are coated in a light vanilla sugar syrup and the whole dish is a refreshing one!!! 



Pistachio Honey Nougat

Nougat is so YUM YUM YUMMY!!! I love the nutty taste and the texture of this nougat. It sold so well, I made another softer nougat the next day but this time added dried cherries to the mix.

I would also like to congratulate a couple who shared a very special moment in their lives with us at CODA. Carrie had asked Brendan to marry her on the 29th February 2012. May you guys grow old together happy forever!! haha so, we are happy to cater to your special day with little details. =)

Again, thank you for taking the time to read Dying4desserts, there is just so little time to try and fit it all in when everything is happening in the world. I'm in the process of drafting Dying4desserts in Vietnam part 1. haha hopefully that will be posted up real soon!!! 

Take care

Xx
