[Instructor] Saturn pattern dessert presentation.
Adding a personal touch to your desserts is really easy,
so there's no excuse not to.
To create a Saturn-like pattern
of sauce for a dessert plate,
first draw a circle with chocolate sauce.
Then squeeze a lighter colored sauce,
like creme anglaise, from a second bottle,
filling the chocolate circle completely.
Creme anglaise is a vanilla custard sauce.
Next, squeeze stripes across the creme anglaise
with the chocolate sauce, squeeze bottles
are an inexpensive tool often used
by restaurants to decorate plates with sauces.
Using a skewer, pull the chocolate stripes
down through the creme anglaise.
Now add your slice of cake to the plate.
There you have it, a lovely presentation
that will highlight any dessert.
