Thomas Keller at 3am
You heard right 3am was our dessert time! This was because we choose to make a pretty involved French Laundry classic of slow cooked meringue with fluffy chocolate moose inside, surrounded by elegant creme anglaise, and topped with shaved chocolate and hand pressed mint oil.
Cooking highlights: This dessert is involved with tons of steps: whisking, stirring, boiling, freezing, ice plunging, stuffing, etc. It an interesting and fun dish to prepare, because of all the different textures, colors, and flavors you get to generate. It is a great dish to make on a Sunday afternoon when you have a few hours to dedicate to it… probably not the right thing to do in the middle of the night, but hey we are nuts for food.
Eating highlights: Picture a soft marshmallow like cream surrounded by delightful sweetness with a chocolate surprise inside, and looks to match. In other words about 1/4 a cup of sugar and lots of lovely fat… can you say late-night sugar high!
