TRUFFLE
A decadent blend of Colombian milk chocolate and black truffle, this dessert features a praline chocolate cake layered with muscovado-mascarpone cream and caramelized crepe, finished with a drizzle of black truffle oil. It’s the perfect indulgence for those with a refined taste.
OLIVE
This intriguing dessert pairs Dominican dark chocolate with olive oil, showcasing a dark chocolate créme adorned with a cacao cookie, sugar-glazed olives, and refreshing green apple sorbet. It’s an ideal choice for those who enjoy a sweet flavor with a zesty twist in every bite.

This collaboration allows us to explore new dimensions of flavor and artistry. With Ether by our side, we’re creating something truly magical—desserts that are not just indulgent but also a celebration of the art of gastronomy.”
More Than Just Desserts – A Celebration of Craftsmanship
This collaboration is a tribute to the art of dessert-making. Each creation honors the ingredients and techniques involved, transforming every bite into an indulgent and artistic experience.
