Planet Plantation
This dessert literally looks like a mini-plantation, including edible earth. Taste-wise, it combines intense chocolate taste with the refreshing acidity of passion fruit and yuzu. The combination of textures is also very interesting, with smooth creamy textures contrasting beautifully with crunchy roasted cocoa beans. When serving, the herb planted in the middle should be 'watered' with the apple-cucumber-lime juice to make the story complete.
