Chocolate Mango Verrine - Vegan and Common Allergen Free


A verrine is an appetizer or dessert made of components layered in a small glass.

The word, which translates to "protective glass" in French, refers to a trend that began in France a decade ago and has spread to the United States and other corners of the culinary world.

Les verrines, as French chefs call them, are served in very small transparent glasses or bowls that highlight layers of color and texture.

You can use any ingredients you'd like to create a verrine.

We have made a Chocolate Mango Verrine using Mango Gelee, Vanilla Ganache, Chocolate Brittle, Chocolate Mousse, and Brownie.

As always, we have made it Vegan and Common Allergen Free so everyone can enjoy.
