I love discovering new places to eat on Instagram. I came across a few pictures of a smoking dessert presented in a fancy dome contraption and it caught my attention. I came to find that these desserts made by Chef Jean-Philippe are only found in San Diego in the neighborhood of Little Italy. This unique dessert spot is called iDessert.
Once my boys and I stepped into iDessert, our eyes were in for a treat. The displays and the colors were inviting and definitely encouraged us to come in and try the desserts. The desserts are custom made via interactive iPads found at the front of the store. The staff was great in explaining the process.
To build your iDessert:
4) The cream goes next. You can choose from vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, dairy free vanilla, coffee, and other seasonal choices.
5) Then, you will have the option to add a layer of a flavored cake, a sauce, some fruits and/or a crunch. There are endless possibilities here. The choices on the iPad can become overwhelming but just follow your tummy's desire, you can't go wrong.
6) The last step is to decide whether you wish to have the full iDessert experience by placing your dessert in a Vegas Bowl! This will have your dessert come out in an awesome presentation smoking with dry ice!

My boys chose a chocolate crust, chocolate gelato, chocolate cream, chocolate cake, chocolate cause, with Oreo crumbles.
I chose the Winter Special which had a cinnamon crust, vanilla gelato, vanilla cream, vanilla cake, caramel sauce, and warm cinnamon apples. The warm apples and the cold gelato was delish!
