killamch89 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Intense heat up front, then soothing sweetness to follow - does that contrast thrill or overwhelm you? I’ve had jalapeño-pineapple empanadas chased by coconut-lime sorbet, and the temperature-temperature play was mind-blowing. Does a palate “reset” dessert enhance the overall meal, or split the experience too sharply? What spicy-to-cool pairings have you tried that hit the perfect balance?
