Kun je een dessert met kreeft maken?
Ja, kreeft kan absoluut worden gebruikt in desserts - vooral in de betere keuken, waar hartige ingrediënten vaak worden gecombineerd met zoete elementen.
In this Michelin recipe from Restaurant MOTA, the lobster is infused in chocolate, while also being incorporated in the sauce using lobster stock. Using a lobster tail mold just enhances the concept of the lobster.
The result is an award-winning dessert with depth & umami — something you’ve probably never tasted before!
Wat is een quenelle in dessertplateaus?
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!
Is dit een no-bake dessert?
Ja, het is volledig no-bake.
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.
