Tips
To make this dessert more accessible or accommodate dietary restrictions, there are a few ingredients substitutions you can make. Instead of using a vanilla sponge cake, you can use gluten-free or vegan alternatives such as almond flour or coconut flour. For the matcha-infused cream, you can use coconut cream or cashew cream for a dairy-free option. Instead of crushed pistachios, you can substitute with crushed almonds or walnuts, and opt for edible flowers instead of rose petals. Finally, for the raspberry coulis, you can use other berries like strawberries or blackberries for a different flavor profile. These simple substitutions can make the dessert inclusive to a wider range of people while still maintaining its unique and artistic presentation.
