Dessert Trio

For my Advanced Plated Dessert class we were inspired this week by a Japanese plate design. A few months back one of my students showed me a book completely in Japanese, but also completely stunning. One of the plates I kept in the back of my mind was the one pictured below. My class did this design complete justice and even bumped it up in my opinion~ We focused on a pear trio and used wild yeasted Lambic beer, pandan and Beehive cheese panna cotta to make it our own:

Pear Trio with Candied Nut, Squash Jam and Panna Cotta Mousse

Fig and Pear with Panna Cotta, Gingersnap and Balsamic

Pear Trio, Butternut-Coconut Jam, Honeycomb, Panna Cotta and Shortbread
