Tips
For those looking to recreate such a masterpiece at home, ingredient substitution is key. Swap out regular flour for almond or coconut flour for a gluten-free option, replace dairy cream with coconut cream for a vegan alternative, and use dairy-free dark chocolate and vegan butter for a plant-based twist. Experiment with different combinations of fruits, such as raspberries or passion fruit, to add a tangy twist to the sweet flavors. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and let your creativity shine through by adding unique touches like pistachio crumble or a sprinkle of sea salt for a contrast of flavors. With the right ingredient substitutions, you can achieve a dessert that is not only visually stunning but also caters to dietary preferences and restrictions.
