Fro Roll Review: Dark Chocolate Volcano And Strawberry Ice-Cream Pot At Potong Pasir
Fro Roll serves flower pots and volcanoes for dessert Update: Fro Roll is now permanently ceased trading. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been in awe of nature because of how beautiful yet scary it can be at the same time. One of the items on my bucket list was to see an active volcano and I managed to visit Mount …
Though we couldn’t go all the way up, taking in the gorgeous view of the volcano from Probolinggo was a monumental and breathtaking moment. While it is no lava-spewing volcano, it is the first chocolate volcano in Singapore, and something I couldn’t miss. Dark Chocolate Volcanoes With Molten Lava Cake Inside - Fro Roll Desserts at Fro Roll Upon debut the menu, the image of their Volcanic Avalanche ($15.80) instantly caught our attention.
Served on a stone plate, the dessert consists of two components: the volcano shell and a molten lava cake. The perimeter of the volcano was littered with croutons, granola, Oreo crumbs, and chunks of brownies. The main highlight would be the liquid nitrogen, which was carefully poured into the chocolate shell with the help of a staff member.
It was made out of a thin layer of dark chocolate so we managed to break it easily. We eagerly prepared our phones to capture the moment of the lava cake breaking before we sunk our spoons into it.
The molten lava cake was moist and the chocolate core was very rich and thick. The vanilla ice-cream rolls were very refreshing and delightful amidst all the chocolatey components.
Moving on to the next dessert, we had their Berry Rosy Flower Pot ($15.80) . Paired with Oreo crumbs, the combination of textures was very delightful. The next layer consisted of house-made strawberry compote, whipped cream, and a lime ice-cream roll.
It took me by surprise as the tart ice-cream cut through the heavy layers of sweetness, making the dessert less jelak and more delectable as a whole. At the base, they included chunks of cheesecake and their signature strawberry ice-cream rolls. It was only at the end that we realised the presentation of this dessert differed slightly from its description in the menu.
It stated that the base was supposed to be vanilla pound cake instead of cheesecake chunks. The description as well mentioned a panna cotta, but we didn’t see any of that in the dessert.
