For $9, you get this little palm-sized — actually smaller — cloud-shaped entremet of white chocolate mousse, strawberry basil filling, and a shortbread base. The mousse was actually pretty good: delicate and airy, and not overly sweet, and really light on the palate. The filling however was rather plain jane. It makes for a decent strawberry jam, but I didn’t get any hint of the basil and, to be frank, it was so ordinary I don’t really have much to say. The shortbread base was also (how do I say this in English) lou hong/limp/stale, nothing like the buttery crumbly cookie I had in mind, and exceedingly underwhelming. Compared to its lookalike (also pioneer of this cloud entremet), Antoinette’s Fluffy, this is a couple of bucks cheaper but several grades down on the satisfaction scale. And if you think about it, it’s not exactly cheap either: $9 can score me a really complex and delicious entremet, so... 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
