Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Add orange zest or espresso powder for a deeper finish.
- Use strawberries or cherries instead of raspberries.
Refrigerate covered for up to 3 days. Rewarm gently so the center softens without drying.
