Dessert

For my dessert I had the Vanilla and orange cheesecake with DoubleTree cookie base, now this had the potential to be a really nice dessert but it didn't help that I was already full from the starter and the main. I was a bit dubious at first to try this as I wasn't sure how vanilla and orange were going to work together. The initial taste was nice but after a while it left a sour aftertaste in your mouth. I also didn't like the texture of it, most cheesecakes I have tried have been thick and creamy so that is what I am used to, however this was light and fluffy like a mousse so it didn't quite work with the crumble base. The cheesecake to cookie base ratio wasn't good either, the cheesecake part was too thick and there wasn't enough cookie base to help compliment it. The potential of this dessert was definitely there, unfortunately it just didn't work for me and my taste buds. As they say one mans trash is another mans treasure (I think that's how it goes..).

My boyfriend opted for something different and decided to have the Lemon tart with forest fruits, this was also another one that had such great potential to be a really nice dessert but I wasn't keen on it. It was just too sour, and I guess you could say that was expected as it's made from lemons however I felt that it could have been tastier if it was sweeter, but that may be my sweet tooth talking. It did come with a forest fruit compote on the side which I guess could have been used to conteract the sourness but there wasn't enough there for the size of the dessert.
