Patissier’s Homemade Deserts
This white pudding is made using eggs with a pale yolk. The sauce is made from aronia, a Nordic berry harvested at Rusutsu Farm. This healthy fruit is full of anthocyanin, which is believed to be good for the eyes.

It is a after dinner desert, but please be careful after as the aronia fruit may get stuck in your teeth.
