Turtle Cheesecake at The Source

The Source by Wolfgang Puck?has welcomed a new pastry chef, Duane Copeland, to the Penn Quarter eatery. Copeland was previously the pastry chef at L? Auberge Provencale in White Post, VA. His dessert menu at The Source features new and thoughtful creations that pay homage in clever ways to the restaurant?s Asian focus.

Though you might not give carrot cake a second glance on a menu, the 15-layer carrot cake at The Source is a study in what carrot cake ought to be, and the ginger ice cream has a little bite to cut the sweetness of the cake. Copeland?s turtle cheesecake was another favorite and a good option for those of you who want dessert but barely have room for it (read: it?s light, fluffy and delicious). For something a little out of the ordinary, the azuki streusel tart was a sort of deconstructed dessert?salsify chips with a sake ice cream, popped corn kernels and tiny cubes of coconut gelee. If you think you don?t like sake, you might reconsider that after trying Copeland?s sake ice cream. Other desserts currently on the new menu include a yuzu-lime tart, a jasmine rice pudding and a chocolate ganache torte.

While you?re there, be sure to also check out The Source?s new spring cocktails. The Pandora?s Box with St. Germain liqueur and an elderflower syrup will satisfy those of you who enjoy a flowery, fragrant drink. If you?re going for something a little less delicate, try the refreshing Pepino?s Revenge with silver tequila, lime, basil and Japanese cucumber or the Monroe?s Passion with passion fruit rum, ginger, orange and cranberry and a little bit of a chili syrup that will leave your mouth with a pleasant tingle.
