Vanilla gelato with homemade blueberry sauce, homemade chocolate sauce, homemade whipped cream
This was part of a grand meal I made for Wife's birthday this weekend. We had shrimp cocktail, beef tenderloin and mashed potatoes and the dessert. This was a classic Julia Child style meal where making the three sauces (the beef stock reduction for the tenderloin, the berry sauce and the chocolate sauce) plus the whipped cream took more time by a factor of 7 than the whole rest of the meal.
Unfortunately, as is so often the case with our aged digestive tracks, by the time we were done with the main meal , we had no room for dessert.
So this is what we had for dinner. We loved it but decided this is maybe a once a year thing to do!

That looks like an incredible dessert! And I greatly applaud your decision. If we're not going to purge like the Romans (did they actually do that?), then breaking it into many meals is a good solution.
happy birthday mom! I hope you were able to find an acceptable vanilla ice cream as a vehicle worthy of those sauces.
