Blueberry Cream Puffs ~ (2) delicate pâte‑à‑choux puffs generously filled with a silky blueberry‑infused cream, finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Each bite balances airy pastry, bright berry flavor, and smooth creaminess.
Fried Ice Cream Truffles ~ (3) bite‑sized milk‑cereal white‑chocolate ganache truffles rolled in crushed Frosted Flakes. A playful twist on classic fried ice cream with nostalgic cereal‑milk sweetness.
Blood Orange Chocolate Tarts ~ (3) mini graham‑cracker tarts filled with a lush blood‑orange chocolate ganache. The citrus adds a vibrant, slightly tart lift to the rich chocolate, creating a bright, elegant finish in every small but decadent bite.
