Pistachio cake, raspberry purée domed inside a citrus mousse-y cream encapsulates this little bundle of joy that looks like a snowball. The citrus mousse is so light and fluffy that it’s kind of like eating snow, you have to keep tasting to make sure you didn’t miss any of its purity. Pistachio, raspberry and citrus are just a few of my favorite flavors. It’s as if Iacopo Falai were answering my prayers.
