Melon Mango Verrine
Have you heard of a verrine before?
A verrine is a small glass container with no base, that highlights layers. The ingredient are layered and can be sweet or savory, hot or cold, raw or cooked, custardy or whipped, creamy or liquidy. It can be an appetizer or dessert. The word, which translates to “protective glass” in French, refers to a trend that began in France a decade ago that has spread to the United States.
