Write about how spring inspired the recipe; The base layer of the recipe is filled with the spring seasonal fruit of this part of the world. I.e “Dates” We get a variety of dates that taste different. So, it inspired me to add as one of the prime ingredients in making this wonderful dessert. How you would describe the dessert in the menu; Energetic layer of dates with walnuts infused with Espresso and Peach Puree Agar jelly and topped with fresh Peaches. Who you would recommend the dessert to; This is recommended to all the coffee lovers as it has a coffee flavor in it and of course the Vegans will not miss this and the Halal foodies as well.
