Sichuan Pepper Raspberry

Combination of Chinese spices and raspberry. Rich and savory pistachio cream paired with Sichuan pepper raspberry mousse and raspberry glaze. The gentle numbing spice balances the berry’s tartness; the glossy raspberry glaze amplifies bright fruit flavour, while the sable biscuit base adds crisp texture, creating a progressive taste journey of tart, subtle spice and nutty sweetness.
