Handcrafted dessert by Ancora Ambleside’s Pastry Chef Maika, showcases irresistible Kabocha Panna Cotta for $11 per person. This unique dessert is made with kabocha squash, crème Chantilly and caramelized yam, ticking off all the boxes for the perfect Thanksgiving dessert.

“Kabocha is a Japanese Pumpkin used in many savory and pastry food in Japan. Daigaku imo (caramelized sweet potato) is a homestyle side dish in Japan. Yams were first cultivated in Peru which ties this whole dish together. The crème Chantilly balance the thick consistency of the pumpkin and yam with a smooth aftertaste.” – Pastry Chef Maika
