Crème Fraîche Ice Cream | Pastry | Elderberry | Tree Syrups

A fun and enticing transition course right before dessert. House Crème Fraîche made with the incredible dairy from Bright & tangy Ice Cream sat next to the rich pastry crumble, garnished with some popping elderberry from our friends . The real magic hides beneath with the tree syrups. A combination of maple, birch, and spruce tip syrup add complexity, astringency, and a slight resinous flavour to the dish. Truly delicious.
