In the final chapter, Fleming suggests how to combine and assemble desserts from the previous chapters to create the ultimate composed desserts.

Chilled Rhubarb Soup with Rose Parfait, Strawberry Sorbet, Candid Pistachios, Strawberries, and Rhubarb Chips

This dessert features a fruit, a vegetable, and a flower, all with a natural affinity for each other. The rhubarb soup is sweet and tangy, softened by a delicate and creamy rose parfait. The crunchy pistachio nuts fit right in with these sweet, distinctive flavors, and the more delicate crunch of the rhubarb chips is a nice tart contrast to the rich, nutty garnish. The warmth of the rhubarb, rose and pistachio flavors is in pleasing opposition to the cool temperatures of the soup, parfait and sorbet.

Components
Chilled Rhubarb Soup
Rose Parfaits
Candied Pistachios
Strawberry Sorbet
Rhubarb Chips
Fresh hulled strawberries, quartered

Directions
Ladle the soup into shallow bowls. Place a rose parfait in the center of each bowl and scatter strawberries around the parfait. Sprinkle with candied pistachios. Top each parfait with a small scoop of sorbet and finish with a rhubarb chip.
