Love Boat Dream?

[Punchie]

This might be a dumb question, but do they still have this dessert onboard? The last cruise we went on in 2005, I don't remember it being on the menu, but they brought one out to me upon request. It's one of my favorite desserts. :)

Not only do they still have the Love Boat Dream, but it is available EVERY night. It is on the left side of the desert menu.

The last cruise I was on they still had it, that was last Aug

Yes, they have it, but it seems to have changed a bit over the years... I'm sure someone here can quantify what's been changed? :)

Here's what it looked like last week on the CB.

 

DH said it was delicious!

Whisk the egg whites until very still, and then add the superfine sugar and flavoured sugar.

 

Gently fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture. Pour into a heart shaped mold and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to set.

Oh yea, it sure has changed. Nothing like it used to be. In fact, I always loved it the 'old way' but now, I don't even waste my time, it is just not a yummy as before. :( Their other desserts have gotten better, but the Love Boat Dream sure went down hill. IMHO!

[Love Boat Dream]

Did somebody call me????

:D

 

Yes, it is still available. I agree that it has changed, but it is still yummy!

I had it once on my last cruise on the Emerald and it was better than when I had it on my first Princess cruise on the Golden years ago.

[Coolmama_1]

It may have changed but it is still my favorite!

[shepcookie]

I think it is slightly different than on my first cruise, but it's one of my favorites at well. It's even better with a dip of vanilla ice cream!

They no longer have the original which was a Godiva chocolate made for Princess. After they did away with it, there were requests to have it back. Instead of the original Godiva version which by the way was absolutely scrumptious, they now make their own version. The one on the "always availiable" menu is a chocolate mousse concoction with Godiva liquer which is OK, but nothing special like the original was. They did away with the original about the same time they did the free cappucino.

[Punchie]

Yay! I'm glad it's still on the menu. I hope the new version can live up to my memories. :) October needs to get a move on!

 

Posting the recipe for it is just bad....bad....

There you go and there you are... still delicious, but not as good as the original!

Just had it on the Island Princess. The first thing I noticed is it is now on a "brownie" crust instead of the kind of crunchy crust it used to have. Although still good, it is also not nearly as rich. The old one just oozed rich ... eating the whole thing could be hard. The new version seems lighter and not so dense.

 

I still enjoyed it and it gave a good chocolate taste. Just not as decadent as it once was (i.e. what the recipe that was posted indicates).

Over the years I've had about 5 variations of the original, but yes, the original was the best one. Haven't bothered the last several cruises.
