Happy Valentines Day! I have a special treat for you: Today's post is a lineup of the most delicious signature desserts from some of the BEST restaraunts in Mammoth Lakes. Feel free to try them all; you can always skii those calories off the next day ;-)

Lakefront Restaurant
Grand Marnier Sabayon en Glace. This very soft, gelato-like Italian dessert is made with egg yolks, sugar and sweet wine that is whipped and very delicate. 
Chef: Frederic Pierrel 

Nevados
Chocolate Tirimasu. This is slightly different take on your typical Tirimisu. The crisp lady fingers are covered in a rich espresso mascarpone and served in a chocolate cup. It's both beautiful and delicious.
Chef: Steve Mejia

Restaurant Skadi
A Tasting of Chocolate. A trio of chocolates include surprising flavor combinations like white chocolate and Chai pot au creme; a sweet twist on classic French-inspired indulgences such as terrine of three chocolates; and a bittesweet chocolate sorbet.
Chef: Ian Algeroen

The Rafters
Petit Chocolate Cake served with Berry Coulis. This is no ordinary chocolate cake. Starting with the finest quality chocolates, Chef Dympna adds touches of Kaluha and espresso to intensify the already rich chocolate flavors.
Pastry Chef:  Dympna Roman 

The Restaraunt at Convict Lake (Five miles outside of Mammoth Lakes)
Tableside Bananas Foster Flambé. This indulgent dessert starts with bananas carmelized in brown sugar and topped with 151 proof brandy. A touch of cinnamon is added "for sparkle," and it's brought right to your table and lit up. It's quite a spectacular experience! 
Chef: Darren Harding

OK, I have six signature desserts. I HAD to include the Whitebark Restaraunt's amazing chocolate chip cookies.

The Whitebark at the Westin-Monache
Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies. There's sometihing so comforting about freshly-baked, soft and gooey chocolate chip cookies. The chefs at the Whitebark back each small batch to order ensuring the freashest cookie experience. I personally love them with icecream!
Chef: Brandon Brocia
