You'd think it's an ice cream but this cone really contains some Finest Belgian Dark Chocolate Recipe N° 811 combined with a chantilly based on the perfect marriage of coffee and mascarpone. Add some salted caramel Crispearls™ and decorate with Chocolate Stars for a dessert that both looks and tastes great. The liquid croissant side dish makes this dessert complete.
