Ube fraisier
Neatly aligned strawberries, a silky ube cream, a soft sponge: the ube fraisier is the ultimate spring entremets.
The freshness of strawberries, the softness of purple.
The strawberry-season entremets
The fraisier celebrates the arrival of strawberries in spring, in an elegant assembly.
A soaked sponge, a silky cream, here scented with ube, fresh strawberries carefully arranged: every slice reveals the layers and the colours. The purple of ube and the red of strawberries make a dessert as beautiful as it is spring-like.
The fraisier is made when strawberries are at their best, in spring: choose fragrant ones.

The fraisier rewards precision.
Arrange the halved strawberries tightly against the ring, cut side out, for a clean look. A very cold buttercream custard holds the assembly. Enough resting time in the fridge is essential before unmoulding.
Choose strawberries of even size for a perfectly aligned edge.
