Introducing the Dipped Whisk
Spring has arrived, and with it comes a fresh, exciting dessert from renowned pastry chef Dominique Ansel. Known for his innovative approach to sweets, Ansel has taken the classic ice cream cone and transformed it into something extraordinary: the Dipped Whisk.
This delightful creation features two sugar cone cups filled with layers of Talenti gelato, sandwiched together to form a spherical shape. The pièce de résistance? It’s perched atop a golden whisk dipped in vanilla Chantilly whipped cream, making it not just a treat but an experience.
A Unique Eating Experience
The Dipped Whisk is designed for enjoyment in a way that feels both playful and indulgent. Customers are invited to eat the treat directly off the whisk, reminiscent of licking the bowl after whipping up a delicious dessert.
Ansel describes the experience as “exciting,” highlighting the contrasting textures of the crunchy cone and the creamy gelato. This innovative approach to dessert is a testament to Ansel’s belief that ice cream should be more than just a scoop in a cup or cone; it should be an adventure for the senses.
Limited-Time Offer at Dominique Ansel Bakery
For those eager to try the Dipped Whisk, Ansel will be offering 100 of these confections for free at his bakery in Soho from March 28 to March 30. The treats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that fans of Ansel’s creations can experience this unique dessert firsthand.
This limited-time offer not only showcases Ansel’s creativity but also his commitment to engaging with his community and sharing his passion for baking.
The Legacy of the Cronut and Future Ventures
Since the debut of the Cronut in 2013, which took the world by storm, Ansel has continued to push the boundaries of pastry.
His creations have become cultural phenomena, with fans eagerly anticipating each new flavor. As he prepares to open a new French-Asian bakery, Papa d’Amour, near Union Square, Ansel is excited to explore new culinary territories. This new venture will celebrate his children’s heritage and introduce a menu filled with Asian-inspired baked goods, including milk breads and egg tarts.
Innovation in Every Bite
