This recipe re-emphasizes the contrasting flavor combination of raspberry and chocolate visually by playing with texture and shape. We delicately balance a meticulous truffle sphere atop a rustic cookie shard next to a raspberry quarter. Texturally, you’ll find smooth ganache, crumbly cookie, and juicy raspberry.
It’s basically a dessert buffet in a bite. We couldn’t decide what we wanted here… a cookie, a mousse, some fruit or decadent chocolate… so we put them all in one bite! You’re welcome.
