Le Censier.
Named after the street where the Carl Marletti patisserie is located, this dessert may have been the best yet.
Side Note: I’m posting a lot of Marletti desserts as it’s my last day in the fifth where his shop is located. But I’m sure I’ll be making the trip across town to keep sampling his creations.
Le Censier is a dark chocolate mousse quenelle on top of a chocolate rice crispy biscuit. The garnish on top is a praline slate of goodness.
I wasn’t sure how to go about eating this one, so I grabbed a fork. After two mouth watering bites, the fork when down and I hand fed myself the most scrumptious chocolate treat ever. The dark chocolate mousse quenelle wasn’t overbearing. It seems as though it would be really rich and creamy but it wasn’t. This dark chocolate mousse is probably how God makes it in heaven. It was that delicious. Below this heavenly egg shape was a rice crispy biscuit that at first sight seems boring, but after taking a bite, then opening your mouth for more…you hear popping noises. That’s right. There are pop rocks in the rice crispy biscuit!!! Carl Marletti, you are a genius!
