Editor's Note: Since it's the last Wednesday in October, this will conclude our black and orange recipe feature. Thank you Kerry for creating each one!
I find that it pays off to seriously invest your time in a main course, but when it comes to appetizers, and especially to dessert, I say buy fabulous ingredients and arrange them simply and thoughtfully, but without much fuss. Here, I use dark chocolate, pumpkin gelato, and fresh mint to create a sweet, after-dinner pumpkin patch with flavors for children and grown-ups alike, with a touch of whimsy and certainly some elegance.
