Sugar Rush: Otto's Pumpkin Copetta
Your daily dose of something sweet.
Our ten days of Pumpkin Sugar Rushes are over, but that doesn't mean I have any intention of stopping my consumption of pumpkin desserts. After all, the season doesn't last forever! Whether it be the pumpkin cocktail over at PDT, or Tafu's Wabi-Sabi tea-infused pumpkin cupcakes, there is absolutely no shortage of pumpkin sweets in our city. The newest dessert to join the seasonally inclined roll of Otto gelatos is the pumpkin copetta. Generous scoops of positively silky and delicately spiced gelato, concocted from sweet Cheese Pumpkins, are piled above nutty almond crumble. It then gets topped with whole buttered pecans, cherries for a puckery tart, and a plush finish of mascarpone crema. Not pumpkin-related, but also of note is that our chilly weather has finally ushered back in the warm mugs of Gianduja Chocolate (buttery shortbread included!) onto the menu at Otto. Almost makes you wish it was winter all year long…
