MIAMI, FLORIDA – August 14, 2012-- With the Miami HEAT’s recent NBA championship win making
summer in Miami hotter than ever, The Ritz-Carlton,
South Beach is offering a way to cool down and enjoy a taste of their hometown
team’s sweet victory with a limited-edition, ‘You Can’t Beat the HEAT’ dessert
to benefit the Mourning Family Foundation. The gourmet-style treat is
offered as a special menu addition exclusively at the oceanfront hotel’s two
restaurants, DiLido Beach Club and Bistro One LR, through December 31, 2012.
The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach Executive Pastry
Chef Jason Morale carefully designed the decadent creation to best represent
the HEAT’s star status and the residual excitement that continues to emanate
throughout the city following their triumph. Presented in two pieces, the
dessert duo features an orange-colored, mango flavored basketball on top of a
thick layer of fudge cake surrounded by gold dusted mint chocolate crunchy,
bite-sized pieces with a hint of mint. Accompanying the basketball is a martini
glass filled with a flaming coconut crème brûlée, inspired by the HEAT’s team
mascot Burnie, an anthropomorphic
fireball.
The Mourning Family Foundation was
established in 1997 by former HEAT basketball player and Olympic gold medalist
turned philanthropist Alonzo Mourning, to aid in the development of children and families
living in at-risk situations and provide support and services that enhance the
lives of youth of promise. The cost of each ‘You Can’t Beat the HEAT’ dessert
is $12 and all of the proceeds raised will go towards two of the foundation’s
special children’s programs.
They will benefit the Overtown Youth
Center, designed to inspire, empower, and enrich the lives of underprivileged
children while teaching them to become positive contributing citizens; andHoney
Shine, a mentoring program founded by Tracy Wilson Mourning, to encourage the
balance of mind, body and soul in girls and women by providing nurturing
experiences that enlighten their paths and empower their future.
