At the conclusion of a delicious and well-balanced meal, sometimes dessert can sound a little too sweet. So instead, consider a dessert that lends itself more closely to a savory type of sweetness. From cheese plates to corn fritters, there are plenty of unique ways to please your palate at the end of a dinner out in Jackson Hole.
1. Cheese Plate
Indulge in a beautifully arranged assortment of artisanal cheeses, carefully selected for their richness and complexity at Local Restaurant & Bar. For the dessert cheese plate, diners choose a selection of three or six cheeses, each of which offers a unique flavor profile. As accompaniments, candied hazelnuts add textural contract, while apricot chutney lends a balance of fruity tanginess.
2. Corn Fritters
The corn fritter dessert at Roadhouse Pub & Eatery is a celebration of creativity—combining scratch-made fritters with sweet corn ice cream and caramel popcorn. The focal point of this dessert—the fritters—are texturally pleasing on the palate, as a slightly crispy outer crust protects a fluffy, tender interior. Accentuated carefully, the sweet and creamy ice cream perfectly complements the savory notes of the corn fritters while the popcorn further diversifies the textures and harmony of this dessert.
3. Pistachio Cake
Fluffy, moist and decadent, like the rest of the menu at Coelette, their pistachio cake is expertly crafted and skillfully balanced. The dessert is enhanced by a delicate touch of fennel sugar, to achieves an aromatic twist. Meanwhile, empress plum lends a tangy contrast to the rich pistachio cake, elevating the overall flavor profile. Finally, Italian meringue tops the nutty cake with silky smooth perfection.
4. Coconut Sticky Rice
No meal at Teton Thai would be complete without a finale that includes their coconut sticky rice with mango (mango available seasonally). Combining the rich creaminess of coconut-infused sticky rice with the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes, this dessert is a delightful fusion of flavors. After all, the sticky rice is delicately seasoned with a hint of salt, elevating the flavors and creating a satisfying balance between sweet and savory. Each spoonful will transport you to the vibrant streets of Thailand.
5. Sudachi Sundae
Indulge in a one-of-a-kind dessert experience with Sudachi’s sundae. A generous portion of black sesame ice cream is crowned with a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce and delicate sesame brittle, both of which provide an extra layer of complexity.
