Creativity, the chefs here are not lacking! We like to be audacious, even in desserts. In light years of classical chocolate mousse or apple pie of yesteryear, we offer you a list of 7 sweet treats discovered on the menu of restaurants of the province and all of which combine ingredients found infrequently in desserts .
1.Brownies with Chocolate and Bacon
Well, we recently saw the bacon infiltrate everywhere, even into desserts. Some have gone to the simplest by dipping the thin slice directly into the melted chocolate and others have chosen to opt for more subtlety by incorporating it into a dessert made from chocolate. It is at the pot bistro in Trois-Rivières that we can enjoy this brownies ... pig!

2. Sweet Potato Cheesecake
Yes, sweet potato is sweet, but it is rarely seen in dessert (although vegetables are increasingly popular in pastries). Never mind, one remains intrigued to taste this unusual marriage. You can do it at the Notkins restaurant on rue Bleury in Montreal. The cake is served with a chocolate crumble and wild blueberry jam promises!

3.Fried chocolate bar
We've all heard of it, but how many of us really dared to taste this totally decadent dessert? The Rideau Rouge restaurant in Quebec made it its signature dessert! A bar of chocolate mars coated with bread with sweet beer is fried in oil. We serve it all with ice cream and a strawberry coulis.

4.Club chocolate sandwich
Here, it is not so much the ingredients that make the originality of the dish, but the concept and presentation: eat a club sandwich dessert is a first! In addition, the latter is chocolate and is served with pineapple fries and a creamy melon mint salad. Try it all at the Chez l'épicier restaurant on rue Saint-Paul Est in Montreal.

5.Panna cotta with parsley
Cooked from cream, milk and sugar to which gelatin is added, this small dessert with a firm consistency is usually served with a coulis of red fruits, a perfume of citrus or caramel. At the restaurant La Légende de Québec, we chose to concoct it with parsley! Why not? While basil, mint and even rosemary are often found in several desserts, parsley is often set aside. We are curious to taste!

6. Chocolate Mousse with Mushroom Powder
Innovating at the Manitoba Restaurant in Montreal is the simplicity of chocolate mousse. This classic dessert is made with marshmallow marshmallow (a small black fruit), wild mushroom powder, chocolate roots and fried lichen. What to surprise the palate!

7. Parsnip and Cinnamon Cake
The cinnamon goes, but the parsnip in a dessert? This is quite innovative, because this root vegetable is really fragrant and powerful in taste. One is intrigued to taste it in sweet version. It is at Le Moine Échanson restaurant on St-Jean street in Quebec City that you can taste it.
