Made with Amatika 46%

Original recipe by Patrice Demers, chef & owner Patrice Pâtissier

5 steps

Last year, in collaboration with pastry chef Anaïs Galpin, Patrice Pâtissier released our first vegan petit gâteau at the shop. This new version features the amazing AMATIKA 46% Chocolate. I’ve decided to pair it with almonds and haskap berries. If haskap berries are not available in your region, sour cherries or blackcurrants could be a great substitute
