Chef's suggestion

Vary the tastes and flavours of your desserts with the seasons. For the Honey and Cinnamon Madeleine cake, replace the cinnamon with raspberry pieces scattered on the cake before baking. For the Alunga™ cream, you can replace the passion fruit puree with pulped raspberries. Enjoy this perfect marriage between fruit and Alunga™ milk chocolate couverture.
