Traditionally, the word “quenelle” refers to a small, oval-shaped dumpling of poached fish or meat, but today, chefs form everything from ice cream to mashed potatoes into this distinctive dumpling shape. In the Devil’s Food Cake Verrines, quenelles made of chocolate mousse add an extra touch of elegance to the dessert.

To create a quenelle, you’ll need two spoons of the same size. The size of the spoon will determine the size of your quenelle.
