Traditionally, the word “quenelle” refers to a small, oval-shaped dumpling of poached fish or meat, but today, chefs form everything from ice cream to mashed potatoes into this distinctive dumpling shape. In theDevil’s Food Cake Verrines, quenelles made of chocolate mousse add an extra touch of elegance to the dessert.

To create a quenelle, you’ll need two spoons of the same size. The size of the spoon will determine the size of your quenelle.

    I like serving them with whipped cream and home-made caramel sauce for desserts.
