Inspirations :

I was inspired by the simplicity of the french cream tart. There are only three components so it is crucial that the techniques are executed properly and I wanted all of the ingredients to be good quality with amazing flavor. I chose to use Madirofolo chocolate and remain true to its origin and also use Madagascar vanilla. Having these specific regional flavors in such a simple creation really allows the consumer to connect.
