The savarin at Cafe Recherche might have been the booziest dessert that I’ve ever had. If you like liquor-infused desserts, then this is something you’re going to need to try. If you don’t, you might want to stay away.
The dessert features a rum-and-syrup-soaked cake that’s studded with raisins and filled with a layer of custard. It’s served in a dish filled with whipped cream.
It’s pretty good. I’ll admit that boozy desserts aren’t my favourite, so I’m probably not the target audience here. Still, I enjoyed it. The cream does a good job of cutting the liquor-soaked intensity, and the cake itself is quite good.
