REVIEW: A dessertie’s dream

My oldest brother was in town recently unlike the first time….and we all went to Extraordinary Desserts near Balboa Park (Downtown). As long-winded as I sometimes get, this time I’m cutting to the chase to give you a pictorial depiction. BTW, everything was mmmm first-rate.

Truffe Framboise
Raspberry and kirsch soaked chocolate cake layers are surrounded by bittersweet Valrhona chocolate mousse, with fresh raspberries bursting inside and out.

This was labeled “Apple Croistini” but there weren’t any apples in it, only “Pineapples”.  LOL. So maybe it’s called “Pineapple Croistini”.
