Trio for square bowls

Recommended Posts

I am getting some new bowls like the ones in the link below. They are in the seventh photo down called square porcelain bowls. They will be 3" 2" and 1" across and will sit on a long narrow tray. I would like to do a chocolate trio in them and thought of something like a pot de creme in the 2" and chocolate granita in the 1" but I am having some problem coming up with something for the 3". I had thought of making a bomb with some mousse, broken pieces of dacquoise and nuts covered in a thin chocolate shell but I am not too sure it would look ok in the square bowl. The way they get smaller at the bottom makes for a challenge trying to do cake or anything that would be cut, because it wouldn't be able to sit in the bottom. Something scooped might work, but I have no idea what. I would like to have something with some texture or crunch to contrast with the other two bowls. Any ideas?

A chocolate Creme Brulee?

Chocolate lace cookies?

You could spoon a chocolate mousse into the small cup in 2 layers with the nuts and crumbled dacquoise in the middle, then pour ganache over the whole thing. No cutting.

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
