Tonight was more saucy dessert work. Cherry-infused vanilla pudding served with a cherry or blackberry compote and finished with a layer of Chantilly cream.

a simple vanilla custard with fresh berries. My next 3 creations: 1) Blackberry Natillas Silky vanilla-bean custard infused with Licor 43 and orange blossom honey, topped with blackberry compote, candied lemon peel, cinnamon, and a touch of sea salt. Menu mood: Bright, elegant, citrus-forward.
