Dessert at Jax


Trio of creme brulee(from left to right): Vanilla bean, raspberry, and coffee.


Milk chocolate bread pudding with chocolate gelato, fresh berries, whipped cream, and a bourbon caramel.

After a large meal of roast chicken and mashed potatoes cooked by my very own mother we our family went out to get dessert at one of our long loved family favorites, Jax Fish House. The fish is very good but I really enjoy the desserts. We started with a trio of creme brulees: Vanilla, raspberry and coffee. The vanilla was very nice, it had a perfect crust of burnt sugar on top. The vanilla creme brulee had a very light vanilla flavor, I would have liked a bit more vanilla flavor. The coffee creme brulee was very strong. It had coffee beans baked into it and the whole custard was flavored with coffee. On the top was a chocolate covered coffee bean. Now I want to talk about the raspberry. This one was special. It was a plain creme brulee, with whole raspberries baked into it. In the process of baking the raspberries let out juices making the entire custard taste like fresh raspberries. The next dessert was a Milk chocolate bread pudding with chocolate gelato, fresh berries, whipped cream, and a bourbon caramel. The bread pudding had a great chocolate flavor and was piping hot so it was only logic to put some ice cream on it to control the temperature balance. Then the whipped cream added a very light refreshing flavor and texture to all that decadence. Over all great desserts!
