The Sweetest End


Chocolate macaron with chocolate ganache, espresso gelato, and port soaked cherries. The macaron itself would have been a huge treat- the good ones are practically impossibly to find outside of Paris (sometimes even inside Paris). Crispy exterior set off by a moist, chewy interior that sticks and simultaneously melts to the roof of your mouth... all made even more insane by the rich creaminess of the ganache and the milky bitter gelato- set off by the sweet tartness of cherry. We ate this like greedy children attacking a box of chocolate- no mercy, no survivors... the pretty macaron was crushed and the gelato smeared into submission 1.5 seconds after this photo was taken... and we savored every bite :)
