Pumpkin Pie Revisited
-
Timeless Classics
I wanted to elevate the beloved classic with refined textures, balanced spices, and contemporary presentation. This reinterpretation solves the challenge of offering seasonal comfort in a format that aligns with upscale patisserie standards, while still evoking the warmth and nostalgia of the original. The addition of Gold Callebaut chocolate in the pumpkin ganache brings a caramelized richness and depth of flavor that transforms this creation into a truly indulgent experience.
