If I were to say that I do not look forward to new dessert places in the city, then I would be lying.
\nI regularly keep a close eye on the sweetest of treats this city has to offer. When a little birdie whispered that Caf\u00e9 Mangii<\/strong> would be launching their new dessert menu, I couldn\u2019t contain my excitement. I jumped in at the opportunity to brunch at their Powai outlet for a bloggers\u2019 table event.
\nWe braced ourselves for a sugar induced binge as we were being presented with not one or two but 8 sugary treats.
\nI felt like a kid in a candy store about to embark on a sugar rush. The extensive new desserts menu is curated especially for those blessed with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

\nApple Crumble:<\/strong>
\nIntricate layers of Caramelised Apple, almond crumble and dry fruits served in a champagne flute topped with Dried Apple. This gorgeous glass of goodness had a lovely twist to it. The Apple was caramelized and not flamb\u00e9 using alcohol. Though the narrow glass looked impressive it was difficult to reach the bottom of the glass. I was left with no choice but to mess up this striking new dessert \ud83d\ude1b
\nAs recited by the Chef, the dried apple used here is dehydrated in the oven for 18 hours.<\/p>\n

\nNext up was this beautiful piece of art, Rose shaped Tiramisu<\/strong>: Italian custard encased in chocolate coated pot\/shell with mascarpone cheese resembling petals, gets a 100 on 100 for presentation.
\nWhile only my camera could savor this beauty as Kahlua (coffee flavored liquor) was one of its ingredients, I wish this was made sans the liquor. Sigh!
\nMy disappointment didn\u2019t last long as I was soon to be presented with a Cheesecake!
\nWhile I am a total sucker for chocolate desserts, my love for cheesecake is no secret. Mumbai has a dearth of good cheesecake places & I was counting on Caf\u00e9 Mangii to fill the void.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nSilky smooth C<\/b>heesecake<\/strong> with a base of digestive biscuits and a split proportion of yogurt and Philadelphia cheese was light and soft as a cushion. I could devour two of these and not feel an ounce of guilt. This place forces itself into my list of best cheesecakes in town!<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nFollowing the mind boggling cheesecake was the much awaited 34 layers chocolate cake- first of its kind in town. The cake did not live up to its hype. It was cloyingly sweet and overly moist.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Mocha fudge treat<\/strong>
\nMocha fudge cake with coffee creameux and mocha cream is a bitter-sweet treat for all the coffee lovers out there.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nEsterhazy<\/strong>
\nSlices of almond cake are coated with chocolate cream and a side of chocolate sauce and orange marmalade. This would make a great high tea dessert while gossiping with your girls and a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nNutella surprise crunch<\/strong>: Attention vegetarian pals, this one\u2019s for you!
\nEggless cake coated with chocolate and topped with a twirl of hazelnut creameux and caramelized hazelnut. It was decadently creamy punctuated with the nuttiness of Hazelnut.
\nWith my sugar levels nearing the dangerous level, I hoped to skip the last sweet offering.
\nWas it possible that TWS passes on a dessert?
\nAs they say \u201csave the best for last\u201d.<\/p>\n
