Sweet seasonal verrine vibrations | Why decide between vanilla or chocolate when you can have both? Using what's available to us seasonally means you can walk away with two today and get a twist on the same things tomorrow. These little gems are: vanilla mousse, lemon and oplays crunch (white chocolate tasting of fresh milk and natural vanilla) or plum gel, chia chocolate mousse and almond. #milse #verrines
