Created by Michel Eyckerman

The Belcolade Origins Blanc Papua New Guinea 36% Cacao-Trace chocolate goes well with warm flavors like caramel, vanilla, and nut. Therefore I have created this dome with flavors that go well with the chocolate and decorations that are inspired by the traditional tribe accessories the local people use to dress up. The top cup on the dome is filled with liquid caramel that can be poured over the dessert.
