Adelberto Diaz is a pastry artist and he goes to almost crazy lengths when he’s designing his special Halloween desserts. Each of these personal cheesecakes is a little fantasia—a gold-dusted chocolate skull with spidery chocolate legs and marbled black icing, an arched-back cat against a moon of white chocolate. Diaz even gives them titles, like the artworks they are: “Black Spider” is chocolate cheesecake with hazelnut chocolate mousse and caramel; “Pumpkin Nights” is all pumpkin—cheesecake, mousse and caramel. Order ahead.
