Canal Introduces New "Small
Indulgence" Dessert Menu 2009
With Petite Portions and Prices
Scottsdale, AZ – Warmer days and healthier
lifestyles can make diners think twice about indulging
in a large decadent dessert. But we all like to end a
great meal on a sweet note. Now, Canal’s Pastry Chef
Jon Spahr has created a nearly guilt-free answer to the
“Did you save room for dessert?” dilemma. Spahr has
introduced a new “Small Indulgences” dessert menu at
Canal that features smaller sized treats with smaller
prices too. Spahr explains, “I created the Canal
dessert program to reinforce a more balanced dining
experience by removing the “did you save room for
dessert” predicament and encouraging guests to sample
items without a guilty calorie conscious.”
Spahr’s creations change with the season. And, when
guests have a hard time deciding which mouth-watering
dessert to try, the petite portions encourage a sample
selection without over-indulging. All six desserts will
be offered Monday-Sunday at Canal throughout the summer
season, for the price of $4.00 each or $10.00 for three.
The menu features:
-
Peanut
Butter Crème Brulee with caramelized banana and Dark
Chocolate Banana Truffle
-
Canal Ice
Cream Sandwich with soft chocolate cake cookies,
house-made Vanilla Bean Gelato, rolled in Heath Bar
crumbles and dipped in Chocolate Ganache
-
Caramel
Cheesecake with a Pecan Cookie Crust, served with
Chantilly Cream Strawberry Marmalade, and Caramel
sauce
-
Coconut
Cannolli's - crispy shells filled with coconut lime
infused mascarpone cheese, and passion fruit caramel
-
House-made Gelato and Sorbet
