After a long exhausting day of traveling, I decided to end
my night on a good note by making a pit stop at my favorite patisserie, Jean Philippe Patisserie at the Aria Resort Las Vegas. Although this patisserie displays the artistic mastery
of world pastry champion Jean Philippe through the creation of his pastries,
cakes, baguettes, gelato, and chocolate candies, I personally feel that the highlight
of this establishment is their freshly made warm crepes. After trying to resist the temptation of
buying one of everything at this shop, I decided to settle one of their famous
chocolate crepes. Now I must say that this chocolate crepe is a very luscious
treat. From the first moment you sink your teeth into this warm crepe, your taste
buds are greeted by an intense chocolate tang. Complimented with the chewiness
of the crepe, and the cold sweetness of the whipped topping, you will find this
dessert to be at its finest. Now the crepe itself is quite chewy
and almost essentially tasteless, with just a small hint of vanilla. The crepe
serves primarily as a base for this dessert, while the chocolate sauce, brownie
pieces, and chocolate flakes truly adds the kick that this dessert needs. But with
the artful combination of all these elements, this dessert is on the
threshold to perfection.
