Rum and fruit baba

Rum and fruit baba

Level:
Medium
*Suggestions/tips: In this case we’ve replaced the classic Chantilly cream with a Zephyr™ white chocolate whipped cream. The chocolate gives the cream more stability as well as its characteristic milky flavour without increasing the sweetness, thanks to the low sugar content of this particular chocolate.
