9 Desserts In Malta That Are Almost Too Pretty To Eat
Desserts spelt backwards is stressed. Well, that’s just a coincidence, because stressed is the last thing you’ll be after munching on that satisfying last course.
We love desserts, and Malta’s creative pastry chefs deserve a big fast kiss on the cheek for making desserts that are too almost pretty to eat. Almost.
1. This tart from Risette, Valletta
Smoked chestnut and coconut sorbet tart with warm cinnamon madeleines. Doesn’t it look like a staircase to heaven…?
2. White chocolate fondant from The Lord Nelson, Mosta
This fondant consists of mulberry, brittle and cornflakes ice cream. And it looks like dream.
3. The homemade desserts from Palazzo Preca, Valletta
Like this delicious white choc creme brûlée for example. Magnifique!
