As you know by now, I love mini desserts. I find that being able to enjoy intense flavors in 1-2 bites, is perfect! Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it takes more than 1 mini. And it’s even better when you need a fork or a napkin! One of my go to treats has always been chocolate fondue, and now (since I have no intention of buying a fondue set), I use chocolate mousse to dip.
Picture this, you go to an event with no place to sit, and giant plates and forks set out for dessert. You have to slice a piece of cake onto your plate, well that doesn’t always go so well, especially when the guy behind you is making you feel rushed! Am I right? This is literally what happened to me years ago, and seriously now there is no turning back to full size desserts!
It is a perfect pairing with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and even my mini crusts!
