Blueberry Beignets with Creme anglaise and Almond Ice Cream! Steakhouses always have good desserts and true to tradition is Parlor Steakhouse. Located on the Upper East Side, this is a small, quiet, and romantic restaurant. When I saw Blueberry Beignets on the dessert menu, I simply couldn’t pass it up! I love blueberries and I had just seen beignets on the Food Network, so this was a combination that was meant to be! There were only four small beignets lightly dusted with powdered sugar and covered with slivered almonds. On the side was a delicious Creme anglaise for dipping and a small scoop of almond ice cream. The beignets were almost like little ravolis instead of pillows that you normally see. I liked how small they were because it allowed the blueberry filling to be very distinctive. The slivered almonds added a really nice crunch against the soft texture of the beignet. Creme anglaise, a light custard usually for pouring or dipping, was the perfect consistency and only added to the sweetness of the dessert! I love dips! Dips are fun and give the eater a chance to interact with their treat! The almond ice cream was very flavorful and nicely reflected a handful of almonds. It also cleansed my palate in between beignet bites! This dessert was creative and had so many components that it kept my taste buds interested. This was a perfect ending to a big meal! xoxo Blondie
