[1st contest] Vegan Raspberry-White Chocolate Petit Gateau [Advanced]

Updated: Apr 28, 2021

#Dairy-free #Vegan #Vegetarian

Summer to me is best represented by fresh berries. Raspberries are one of my favorites. As a pastry chef, I love the combination of raspberry with white chocolate. The tartness of the raspberry blended with sweet white chocolate is perfection in one bite. Bon appetit!


I'm a professionally trained pastry chef and a visual storyteller. My passion is beautiful cuisine translated through my food photography. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. My husband and I live in Virginia and enjoy cooking and gardening. Nature inspires my creativity.

★ TIP ★

There are several steps to this recipe, but taken one at a time, makes it much easier. This is how I approach the recipe: Make the raspberry confit, raspberry glaze, and vegan sables first (Day 1). Make the vegan raspberry-white chocolate mousse on Day 2. Then on Day 3, all that is left to do is glazing.


Pro Tip: Adding raspberry powder to your dessert adds extra flavor without added moisture or calories. If you prefer not to glaze, you could dust the mousse with raspberry powder.
