Delicious new desserts


Pineapple & Passion GREGORY BAUMGARTNER, 71ABOVE After fine-tuning his technique at Bourbon Steak, E.P. & L.P. and Spring, Baumgartner found himself in one of the most elevated kitchens in the city— literally. As pastry chef at 71Above in the US Bank Tower, he homes in on classic desserts and transforms them into spectacular dishes. His Pineapple & Passion is inspired by a treat his mother used to make—a Cool Whip–topped dessert bar made with pineapple and a cheesecake crust—that Baumgartner has crafted into a tropical beauty employing passion fruit cake and marshmallow, pineapple foam, tarragon moss, lime caviar, frozen cream and a brown butter crust.  633 W 5th St, 71st floor (213-712-2683, 71above.com)


Charcoal Ice Cream Cone


with Veggie Sprinkles MARGARITA KALLAS-LEE, SCRATCH|BAR & KITCHEN Can dessert be good for you? Kallas-Lee thinks so. The pastry chef, who foraged in the woods with her family while growing up, specializes in sweets that are practically remedies. Case in point: her Charcoal Ice Cream Cone with Veggie Sprinkles, a dessert born from her grandmother’s habit of giving Kallas-Lee activated charcoal whenever she was sick. Both the ice cream and cone feature the ingredient, while the sprinkles are made from curatives like turmeric, matcha and spirulina. Keep an eye out for more of her original creations later this year, when she’ll have a stand-alone ice cream shop at the Montecito Inn in Santa Barbara.  16101 Ventura Blvd #255 (818-646-6085, scratchbarla.com)
