Exotic plated dessert
- Level:
-
Medium
Inspiration: The 2019 JCM theme ‘Thriving Nature’. This dessert is a modernized log covered in shards of chocolate to give volume and the log part is a literal representation of nature. Whatever we are doing to our planet, nature will always revive itself, and in theory the basil represents the planet and the ‘thriving’ element of the theme.
