Difficult
The game-like format of this shareable dessert encourages guests to relax and engage with each other. Chef Igor's modern chocolate cake pairs well-balanced flavours and multiple textures with a whimsical approach to format. Cacao Barry's Alunga and Evocao couvertures act as counternotes to the fruit and nut flavours. * Chef Igor's chocolate spheres were designed especially for the competition. We recommend using half-sphere moulds in different sizes or experimenting with different shapes.
