Layered Fruit Concoction


Layer Fruit Concoction, originally uploaded by aznkey.

Inspired by Pierre Herme's layered dessert in a cup.
From the top down
mango
whipped cream
jack fruit
________ everything from here on was under a coconut milk
mochi
pastry cream
strawberries
jack fruit

Taste: Starting from the top, the mangos and jack fruit paired very nicely with the whipped cream. The next layer of chewy mochi gave the dessert an interesting texture. The placement of the strawberries under the mochi turned out to be a very good idea. After going through the top layers the dessert was getting a little too sweet. Having the tart strawberries next refreshed the palette for the remaining portion of the dessert.

Notes: First time making mochi, it was a little too chewy. Needs more water.
Adjusted recipe
7 tbs mochi powder
6-7 tbs water
1.5 tbs sugar
