Hvad er en quenelle i dessertanretning?
A quenelle is an elegant oval scoop, typically used for serving ice cream, mousse, or cream.
It’s formed with one or two spoons – or a specially designed quenelle spoon – to create a smooth, symmetrical shape.
In this recipe, almond ice cream is served as a quenelle to elevate the visual appeal and match the fine-dining presentation. It’s a skill that requires practice and the correct quenelle spoon to master!
Er det en dessert, der ikke skal bages?
Ja, den kan ikke bages.
The yogurt parfait sets in the freezer, the ice cream is churned separately, and the chocolate shell is added while the parfait is still frozen.
Simply dip the tail of the lobster mold directly into the tempered chocolate. It’s perfect for chefs who want to avoid oven prep but still create a fantastic, restaurant-level dessert.
