A New Dimension of Taste: Chocolate and Strawberry

The combination of chocolate and strawberries is classic, yet Minimal takes this partnership to new heights with premium ingredients. Utilizing award-winning 'Arhuaco' chocolate from Colombia, known for its fruity notes reminiscent of grapes, along with Madagascar cacao that imparts a berry-like flavor, this millefeuille is anything but ordinary. The richness of these rare cacaos is perfectly complemented by delightful notes of Earl Grey, creating a dessert that is both indulgent and fragrant. Each bite of this millefeuille promises a heavenly experience, redefining the traditional chocolate-strawberry pairing into a perfect balance of flavors.

A Culinary Masterpiece with Layers of Flavor

The bottom layer features a generous slice of 'Arhuaco' chocolate, providing deep, rich satisfaction reminiscent of grape jam. On top of this, a creamy layer infused with bergamot-flavored Earl Grey adds a fragrant touch, enhancing the chocolate's richness. The ensuing layer of Madagascar chocolate cream brings its unique berry-like fruitiness, offering a light texture that harmoniously ties together the chocolate's diverse flavors and adds complexity.

This Millefeuille is more than just chocolate and strawberries; the crispy pastry layers create an engaging texture that surprises you with each bite, making it a treat that captivates till the very end.

Enhance Your Experience with Accompaniments

To complement the main millefeuille, Minimal offers delectable additions that further enhance the dessert. Bite into a chocolate ice cream made from exquisite green tea, which captures the refreshing essence of the season. This delightful green tea flavor, perfectly integrated with white chocolate, finds its perfect match in a crunchy whole grain crumble, adding a fascinating texture.

Additionally, enjoy the cacao pulp caramel that highlights the fresh, fruity sweetness of cacao, providing another layer of complexity. Lastly, a vibrant raspberry sauce offers a zesty contrast to the dish, ensuring a delightful evolution of flavors in every bite.
