La Rocca Creative Kitchen (Midtown)

 

For such a popular bakery, I was surprised to see they were taking part in the BOGO promotions on Ubereats
Turtle Tarts ($5.95 for 2) and Super Caramel Crunch Mini ($6.50 for 2)
The turtle tart was made with a super decadent dark chocolate ganache and came with roasted pecans, milk chocolate swirl and a chocolate shortbread shell. It was very rich and indulgent, but it didn't really have a nutty flavour though except for the pecans on top to add texture - pretty good overall. 
The super caramel crunch mini was delicious! It came with two layers of pecan merigue (you could taste the nutty flavour) and was a lot denser than the typical fluffy meringue and then it was layered with caramel and whipped cream. It was on the sweet side, but it was so good! It's one of their signature cakes for a good reason. 

Pistachio strawberry pyramid $6.95 
As a pistachio dessert lover, I had to try this out when I saw it behind the counter. 
It had an excellent pistachio mousse with lots of pistachio flavour and strangely enough, it didn't have as strawberry flavour as I would have expected and instead, it was overpowered by pistachio (which is fine because I would much rather the pistachio flavour be the star). Pistachio and strawberry don't really seem like complimentary flavours though, but it was fun!
