New Desserts at Hyatt Trinidad: 5 Sweet Escapes Unveiled!

On March 15, I had the delightful opportunity to taste 5 new additions to the dessert menu at Hyatt Trinidad, and let me tell you, it was a journey of sweet discoveries that left me utterly enchanted. Today, I’m excited to share my indulgent adventure with you and to dive deeper into each creation.

First up – the Pina Colada Gateaux. This was, for me, the most sophisticated offering of the afternoon. Rich coconut flavours mingling with sharp bursts of fresh mint and Malibu-infused pineapple, all nestled within a light coconut “snow” and encased in tempered chocolate bark. It’s a tropical paradise on a plate, perfect for those seeking new and exotic experiences.

As we move on to the Brookie a la Mode, prepare to be transported to a chocolate lover’s heaven. Imagine sinking your teeth into warm chocolate chip cookie dough, topped with a decadent brownie. Caramel sauce and a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream add the final flavour flourishes. It’s a symphony of sweet indulgence that’s sure to impress even the most discerning dessert connoisseurs.

Now, let’s delve into the whimsical world of the Strawberry Shortcake. This isn’t your average shortcake – oh no. It’s a playful remix of childhood nostalgia, with vibrant flavors and textures that dance on your palate. Picture macerated berries, vanilla and strawberry cremeux all nestled atop a soaked shortcake and sprinkled with white chocolate cereal crumbles. Add a dollop of vanilla ice cream on the side and you have a delightful fusion of old-school charm and modern flair that’s bound to dazzle your taste buds.

And then there’s the Espresso Tiramisu – a true powerhouse of flavor. Coffee lovers, rejoice! This dessert boasts intense coffee flavors, smooth mascarpone, and a rich chocolate espresso sauce that adds a vibrant contrast to every bite. It’s a sophisticated treat that’s perfect for rounding off any meal with a touch of indulgence. Spoiler alert: This narrowly edged out the Brookie a la Mode as my personal favourite!

Last in the new additions to the Hyatt Trinidad dessert menu (but certainly not least), we have the Mango Cheesecake. This is a vegan and gluten-free delight that’s as refreshing as it is indulgent. A light and airy custard “cheesecake” accompanied by a luscious and intense mango and mint coulis with crispy sable breton.

Chef Avanelle James truly outdid herself with these creations, and the portion sizes are so generous – perfect for sharing or treating yourself to something extra special.

For those of you eager to impress your friends and family with these divine creations, look no further than the Waterfront restaurant at Hyatt Trinidad. Treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience and embark on a sweet journey that’s bound to leave a lasting impression.

Trust me, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget!
