Tips

To make this dessert masterpiece more accessible and suitable for dietary restrictions, there are several ingredient substitutions you can try. For a dairy-free option, replace the chocolate ganache with a vegan chocolate mousse made from coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate. Instead of the chocolate sponge cake, opt for a gluten-free sponge made with almond flour or rice flour. If you have nut allergies, skip the praline and instead use crushed cookies or toasted seeds for the crunchy base. For added flavor, replace the mirror glaze with a fruit glaze made from fresh fruit puree and gelatin. With these ingredient swaps, you can enjoy a customized version of this indulgent dessert while still accommodating your dietary needs.
