Première Lettre
A special Christmas cake delicately wrapped in Swiss natural cheese “Tête de Moine.”
At its heart lie a cheese-chocolate terrine and dried fruits—figs, cranberries, and prunes—gently simmered in red wine, harmonizing with a rich chocolate mousse for a symphony of flavors. The base, crafted from fragrant hazelnut praline and gluten-free cocoa sponge sans farine, offers a delightful contrast in texture with the moist mousse. The cake is crowned with festive decorations: a raspberry tuile shaped like a quill, letter-shaped chocolate, and shimmering gold and silver dragées, creating an elegant and truly Christmas-like presentation.
Pair it with wine or brandy to savor its refined depth of flavor. Perfect for gifting with heartfelt sentiments, this sweet and indulgent creation promises a luxurious Christmas moment with someone special.
