A Dessert lover’s heaven!
Ever heard the expression “be sure and save room for dessert”? I’ve got a better idea. Order dessert first and GUARANTEE you’ll have enough room! At least this would be my strategy for Don Manuel’s. While the entrees and appetizers are delicious, the desserts are beyond compare! Reading the name “olive oil cake” I was wondering hmm,… what will this taste like and who ever heard of a cake made with olive oil? What a pleasant surprise. It was the most incredible concoction. So incredible I have to describe it here for you. A moist rectangle of pale green cake sitting on the plate surrounded by a group of welcome friends such as raspberry puree tumbling down the center of the cake, fluffy pillows of coconut pineapple ice cream resting on the sides, chocolate shavings, a square of chocolate brownie and the most incredibly dense chocolate mousse quenelle to round out this decadent experience. Enough for two to share, but how silly is that? More than enough for one to overdose on! I must go back for more. Next time the tres leches cake, so stay tuned!
