III. CHEF’S GUIDE & CONCLUSION

• Sieve Quality: Red currant seeds are tiny; ensure you use your finest sito to maintain the “Ruby” clarity in the jelly.

• Financier Bite: The white chocolate in the sponge creates a denser, more luxurious mouthfeel than a standard biscuit.

• Conclusion: The Ruby Ivory is a sophisticated play on acidity and creaminess, making it a perfect signature dessert for the  menu.
