Anticipation makes life easier, especially when the table is full. As with most desserts, plan to put them back into the fridge before serving. In this way, the layers regain their hold and their melt-in-the-mouth texture. As a result, slicing remains clean and pleasant.

A rich dessert calls for an appropriate beverage. Toasted tea, mild coffee or chilled Muscat work well. In addition, a few round, tangy fruits add freshness. Sober tableware will enhance the revisited tablet.

Don’t forget guests who are sensitive to nuts. Pistachios are omnipresent, from the cookie to the cream. On the other hand, this consistency is appreciated for its aromatic intensity. Check the allergen information before you buy.

If everything isn’t served that evening, opt for small gourmet plates. Add a dash of cocoa sauce or citrus jam. Then add a topping of crushed pistachios to bring out the crunch. The pleasure remains intact, even the next day.

Follow food safety rules for entremets. Once reheated, do not refreeze. Keep cool and finish quickly. That way, you retain texture and flavor.
