Serving Size

First of all, you must always keep in mind that dessert in any form is served at the end of a meal. Obvious, of course, but what is often forgotten or not considered is that the person who is about to have dessert may not have much room left. It should leave a pleasurable feeling afterward, not a feeling of discomfort. Keep this in mind if you are in the type of establishment that serves a pre-dessert, dessert, and mignardises. That is three more courses for someone who has had at least two courses before that.
