Sugar Rush: Black & White at Otto
Olive oil gelato, while justly delicious, seems to be the only thing everyone talks about with regards to dessert at Otto. Let us not forget that there remains a plethora of sublime flavors deserving equal attention: salty caramel, hazelnut stracciatella and balsamic strawberry, just to name a few. And how can we neglect other desserts, like the brioche sandwiches, coppettas and my current favorite, the black and white. This aptly named creation features alternating layers of milk chocolate chip and creme fraiche gelato, with crackly shards of hazelnut brittle. Warm chocolate sauce and a generous turn of plush caramel crema make it perhaps a touch too indulgent—but then again, is indulgence not the purpose of dessert?
