When creating a new dessert, Michaël Perrichon, Executive Pastry Chef at the Mandarin Oriental Geneva, takes three factors into account: creativity, seasonality and good quality ingredients. And he has an infallible trick to find out if diners enjoy his dessert: checking to see if plates come back clean and empty.
One of the successful desserts served at the luxurious hotel is this finger mango, a refreshing and tropical proposal that also includes lychee, hazelnut biscuit and chocolate mango. These are the keys to its preparation.
