Sea buckthorn entremets

Pastry recipe

Inspired by Les vergers Boiron’s brand new 100% Sea Buckthorn puree, Babis Polykateros, an experienced, well travelled Greek pastry chef has created his latest signature super cake!
In a bid to harness the virtues of a fruit that is renowned for its exceptional nutritional value since the times of Alexander the Great, Babis Polykateros experimented with the combination of 100% Sea Bucktorn puree, oatmeal and white chocolate.
The result has compensated him for the efforts with a surprisingly seducing taste. This is one of those rare cases when what is healthy is also absolutely delicious!
Try it for a journey to the amazing world of an ancient and rich in vitamins and precious antioxidants fruit, wonderfully combined with a slightly crunchy oatmeal biscuit and a delightful white chocolate mousse.
