Foodie Friday ~ Citrus, Dark Chocolate, Macadamia Nut Pizza
Welcome Foodie Friday Blog Hoppers!
Citrus, Dark Chocolate, Macadamia Nut Pizza
Location: Palo, Disney Wonder
Cost: Included with Palo Brunch
The legendary Berry Basil Pizza may need to move over on my favorite foods list or at least scoot over for a tie.
Last cruise, Chef Stephane introduced me to a lovely new dessert.
(Side note: Wait, all of my favorite foods fall under the umbrella of dessert? How did I not notice this?)
The warm, citrus-y, spicy aroma rose off of the plate. Intriguing, layered, complicated, I hesitated before pulling off a slice. I picked at the pistachios, the candied orange rinds and the peppers sprinkled liberally among the molten chocolate chips.
Separately each topping tasted amazing. I took a few minutes before picking at the macadamia nuts lost it's delicious appeal (and I realized I happened to be in a nice restaurant and wasn't five.) I decided to risk a bite of the seemingly disjointed toppings.
WOW.
The crisp tender crust, sweetened slightly by a dusting of powdered sugar, lightly salted pistachios and macadamia nuts, fiery, spicy, sharp pepper and bitter chewy candied orange peels and all perfectly proportioned. I must have looked confused, because Ben asked me if I liked it.
I really didn't know.
It still is the most interesting thing I've ever eaten in my life.
And I ate the whole thing before I decided whether I like it. I don't. I love it.

"Creamy, salty-sweet, an oaky nuttiness... You detect that?"
"Oh, I'm detecting nuttiness..."
