Lola’s New Dessert Menu by Shelley Lance, Blog Editor
Finally had a chance to check out the muscat grape sorbet on Lola’s new dessert menu- made from the muscat grapes from the big old grapevine in my backyard (organic! hand picked!). It’s a lovely dessert- delightfully aromatic sorbet served with vanilla roasted grapes in a small pool of lemon-mint syrup (bottom left photo). Garrett just put 3 more desserts on Lola’s menu, so it was my duty to sample all of them. The rich chocolate truffle torte set atop fig puree is served with a drizzle of red wine caramel sauce and topped with a spiced milk chocolate mousse (in the upper right corner of the top photo). There’s also a warm pistachio cake- very sweet and moist- reminiscent of Middle Eastern desserts- that’s served with honey poached Bartlett pears- really delicious, maybe my favorite (top photo). The final new dessert is coffee ice cream served in a cute ceramic pot, topped with a sticky homemade marshmallow that’s been browned with a brulee torch, and served with little sesame coated chocolate chip cookies- a very sophiticated Lola-esque take on ice cream and cookies (photo bottom right). Next time you come to Lola, save room for dessert!
