SERIOUSLY praying to dessert god that my blood test will come back all clear!
So our final dessert destination for this year's Good Food Month was Bishop Sessa, where we also visited in 2013. This year their SugarHit offering is chocolate and wattle seed parfait, salted honey ice cream and candied popcorn. And to mix things up (becoming a new favourite DDT tradition!) we also selected 4 out of the 5 dessert items (goats curd cheese cake didn't really appeal...) plus 2 cheeses and we braced ourselves for one last sugar high of the month!
When everything arrived at the same time, it was chaos once again - yours truly demanding photography prior to consumption, while others scramble to fit everything on the table that is simply too small for our appetites.
The cheeses were gorgeous - that delicious, mouldy, pungent Fourme d'Ambert bleu, and the Italian washed rind - smooth and creamy. Eat. Every. Day.

| Start with a drink - appetising Amaretto sour getting our tastebuds ready for the sweets |
 |
| Blood orange parfait - refreshing and tangy |
 |
| Peanut butter bavarois with caramel jelly, banana, and white chocolate biscuit - You'll love it like I did if you like eating peanut butter out of a jar; chilled chocolate and hazelnut torte with lavender ice cream and poached pear - decadent, rich, one small mouthful is enough. Good thing we shared. |
 |
| The official SugarHit (ok, Let's Do Dessert") item - smooth and delicious, excellent with caramel popcorn! |
 |
| Roast pumpkin and chilli sorbet with olive oil and pistachio cake - sorbet with a nice kick at the very end |
My personal favourites were the peanut butter bavarois (anything peanut butter for me, thanks!) and the roast pumpkin and chilli sorbet, both of which sweet-savoury, different but well balanced (in my mind). Not saying the other desserts were forgettable, but we just had to pick favourites, didn't we!
That wraps up our jolly October 2014 ... next, the end of year DDT HOMEBAKE! Who's ready to come to TEA? ;)
