SWEET OBSESSION
Last night my wife and I ventured off to the Arbutus area in Vancouver, BC for some dessert. I being a sweet tooth have been eyeing this place for a long time and we finally had the chance and time to drop by and indulge in a few of their confectionaries.
With an abundant selection of cakes and pastries, this place is truly a must try and s definitely a spot to come back to whenever you’re in town. I however have the privilege of coming back here whenever I can for whatever occasion as I live in Vancouver! Yey!
Sweet Obsession boasts of using only the finest ingredients including real butter, cream and pure Belgian Chocolate, and absolutely no artificial anything!
What can be better than peanut butter and chocolate combo? I’ll tell you – The Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse! Yes I said Mousse!
I have never been a fan of Mousse, whether it be sweet or savory. I have just had my fair share of whipping cream, melted chocolate etc…, combining all those ingredients and piping hundreds of them into a fancy little cup, back in my culinary school days. Plus, I just did not like smooth creamy texture in my mouth.
This however, a little bit more body in it, yet very light. It had more texture like a that of a light cheese cake which I really enjoyed.
The Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse – Peanut butter and white chocolate on a base of chocolate chiffon cake.
My wife had the Chocolate Hazelnut Zuccotto. Absolutely delectable!
Chocolate Hazelnut Zuccotto – A dome of chocolate chiffon cake filled with chocolate mousse and hazelnut mousse, covered in chocolate ganache.
For a non-sweet tooth, she was very impressed and enjoyed the experience even more with her decaf coffee.
I just love discovering new places (new to us that is) in and around my city!
I’m stoked to try the rest of their stuff in the near future.
