Night Sky Pie

         Lying on the lawn and facing the clear night sky, I see countless stars twinkling. I am at the Dolomites. It is hard to imagine that in the middle of nowhere, there is this boutique hotel offering a soothing place for relaxation and meditation. Now I am here. I start to create a pie recipe in my head. I am calling it “Night Sky Pie of Dolomites”. There is dark chocolate, coffee powder, and nata de coco. A layer of dark chocolate will be the base of the pie and an extra thin layer of coffee powder will be spread on top of it, representing the dark sky. Small pieces of nata de coco will be placed sporadically on the pie, symbolizing the twinkling stars. The bitterness of dark chocolate and the sweet taste of nata de coca will neutralize each other, creating a balanced flavor. This pie is a symbol of tranquility in the dark night.
