ginger desserts part 3

ginger gino

gino was invented in the 80-90s, in a legendary restaurant in stockholm. famous for its drunk actors and writers having a blast.

the original recipe lacks ginger. so does the genuine brulée tart's. non the less these desserts with ginger reaches another level.
another ingredient i love in gino and is not in the pa&co recipe is cherries, a lot of them. nectarines are alright too. i don't remember if i like gino more with or without white chocolate. i think some people would say that's the most important ingredient in the dish. i'm not really sweet on white chocolate but i can tell it is alright in this, for you that are unsure about the white chocolate.

2 bananas
2 kiwi fruits
1 liter of strawberries
