Indulge in raw, vegan and gluten-free desserts during this Mumbai eatery

Triple Chocolate Ganache Cake, Ginger Lime Cheesecake, Matcha Green Tea Cake and Mandarin Dark Chocolate Parfait

Meet a Medjool date. This is no typical dry fruit. It is filled with a worldly flavours of truffle, eccentric regard from peanuts, and only a spirit of sea salt. It is like a candy bar though healthier, tastier and some-more filling. This date can be savoured in a Sea Salt Peanut Truffle Dates (Rs 690 for six), that is partial of a new dessert menu launched recently by a healthy break and dessert brand, Amai.

The menu is raw, vegan, gluten- and dairy-free, and doesn’t embody preservatives. In other words, it’s a menu for guilt-free indulgence.

Sea Salt Peanut Truffle Dates

Japanese inspiration
Amai (Japanese: sweet) was started by Aishwarya Nair Mathew (inset) in 2010. Inspired by a beliefs of Japanese macrobiotics, it offers healthful snacks and now, tender desserts. “I aim to showcase a best of healthy food, prepared and eaten in a healthy state. Wellness and combating food-related illness is a categorical reason behind this menu. The thought for eating tender is that heating food destroys a nutrients and healthy enzymes, that is diseased since enzymes boost digestion and quarrel ongoing disease,” says Mathew, also a corporate food and booze consultant for The Leela organisation of hotels.

“The abyss of essence in healthy mixture is some-more extended than what is in conventionally prepared foods. The thought is to feel satiated, light and enterprising after immoderate these decadent desserts though feeling like you’re eating healthy or tender or vegan,” says Mathew. We feel like that when munching on a chocolate lonesome dates. They are rational and delicious. At initial bite, we get a strike of slimey peanut butter, that balances a benevolence of a dates, with chocolates adding a crunchy honeyed aftertaste.

Chocolate is a star in a subsequent dual dessert tastings. The Triple Chocolate Ganache Cake (Rs 590 for two) is layered. Organic almonds, cashews and apricots make adult a granola bar-like base, providing break and benevolence to a tawny chocolate ganache. Here, coconut oil adds a opposite power to a dessert, that after a few bites does overcome a palate. We like it, though it competence be a put-off for those who aren’t fans of coconut.

Mandarin Dark Chocolate Parfait (Rs 550 for two) has a identical hardness and bottom (almonds and dates) though with stronger records of citrus. We would’ve favourite segments of fruit for a opposite textural component to a differently one-dimensional dessert.

Sweet treats
Mathew has used divert done from nuts such as cashew, almond and Brazil bulb to yield a best non-dairy forms of milk. This bulb divert stars in a Ginger Lime Cheesecake (Rs 590 for two), a custard-like dessert with strenuous flavours of ginger and citrus. It is a sweetest dessert of a lot, overdue to a use of maple syrup. But, we do skip a buttery biscuit bottom of a normal cheesecake.

The Matcha Green Tea Cake (Rs 590 for two), is light and airy, as promised, though we are let down by a powdery matcha essence that coats a mouth, and stays on a taste for long.

The thought of tender desserts is appealing, generally when we can indulge in them though worrying about immoderate damaging ingredients. But, given a high price, we are not certain if going tender would make for an affordable lifestyle addition.
