I hosted a dinner party two days ago and served the Concord; frozen chocolate partait. This was a hit among my "foodie" friends. This dessert was so very light and creamy. We picked up the Concord as soon as Adore opened with the intention of having breakfast. We ended up with two tarts to share; the Apricot and the Rhubard, which were both scrumptious.
Yesterday, Sandi and I picked up an order for our friend Milena who lives in Glendale, and since we were there, we tried some of the "eye-catching" and unusual desserts. One was a beautiful cake that was encased with folds of crêpes. It is like a sponge cake with raspberries. This incredible dessert was first created by Patrick's father in France. Many bakeries tried to duplicate it when it came out, but none came close to the original. It was so delicious that the French retail company Carrefour, offered to buy the rights to the recipe, but Patrick's father graciously declined. We both loved this very light cake. It was beautiful, and we enjoyed savoring each bite.
The second pastry we got was pretty new. They didn't have a name yet. I had a name for it but could only share it with Patrick and Kaity. You can use your imagination. It's a lovely buttery crust with chocolate ganache. Inside the chocolate are chunks of pears. This is topped with a caramel mousse with caramel inside. This, too, was outstanding because it was not too sweet. It was perfect!
Adore Dessert Café is located at 901 N Catalina Ave. #100 in Redondo Beach, California. They are open Wednesday to Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM.
