Tips
For those who need to substitute ingredients due to dietary restrictions or preferences, there are several options available. To replace the shortbread crust, a gluten-free alternative such as almond flour or gluten-free graham crackers can be used. For the caramel mousse, coconut cream or avocado can provide a creamy texture while maintaining a rich flavor. Instead of lemon curd, grapefruit or passionfruit puree can offer a similar tangy taste. The rose petals can be substituted with edible flowers such as lavender or hibiscus. Almond slivers can be swapped with chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option. Lastly, the raspberry coulis can be substituted with strawberry or blackberry puree. With a little creativity and ingredient substitution, this dessert can be enjoyed by everyone.
