Who said that a dessert has to be full of fat and sugar to be good?

I Colori del Sottobosco, on the other hand, is a light dessert born from the contrast between the crumbly wholemeal shortcrust pastry shell made with egg whites only and the softness of the white chocolate cream, strictly eggless and made with rice milk. To balance the sweet taste of these ingredients, we added a layer of berry compote and fresh berries, including yellow raspberries, less common but equally tasty, for a bit of movement.

All we can do is wish you a good appetite with this explosion of colors and flavors.
