By Chef Allan Cartignies
To inspire professionals and delight the palates of gourmets, the École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie (ENSP) – an international reference in the sweet arts, from pastry to ice cream, and part of École Ducasse – presents an original recipe: a strawberry, mint and yuzu sundae.
More than just a sundae, this signature recipe, developed in the laboratories of the ENSP, is a true celebration of indulgence and naturalness: raw ingredients are given pride of place, steering clear of the synthetic flavourings and artificial colourings too often used in summer desserts.
Designed as a sensory journey combining an explosion of flavours with an instant cooling effect, this creation taps into the growing trend for healthy desserts without compromising on indulgence.
