Tips

For those with dietary restrictions or preferences, there are several ingredient substitutions that can be made to accommodate different needs. To make this dessert dairy-free, a non-dairy milk such as almond milk can be used in place of regular milk in the mousse and cream. For a vegan version, a dairy-free dark chocolate can be used and the cream can be made with coconut cream instead of heavy cream. To make it gluten-free, ensure that the chocolate and hazelnuts are certified gluten-free, and replace any cookies or wafers used in the dessert with a gluten-free alternative. These substitutions allow everyone to enjoy this delectable dessert while meeting their dietary needs.
