Black Sesame Gâteau Basque

Our Black-Sesame Gâteau Basque features lush, sweet-salty Japanese black-sesame paste, complemented by our naturally nutty-tasting Costa Esmeraldas, Ecuador chocolate. Lisa and her team craft silky Costa Esmeraldas chocolate pastry cream, and emulsify it with roasty Kuki black-sesame paste from Yokkaichi City, Japan, creating a velvety filling. They bake the smooth filling into a tender chocolate crust — and the resulting crumbly-creamy textures and savory-sweet aromas make for a unique, decadent dessert.Choose a Single Gâteau or a Gâteau DuoOrder a single Black-Sesame Gâteau, presented in a beribboned box; or choose a Gâteau Duo, which features one Black-Sesame Gâteau, and one Chocolate Gâteau (made with our fudgy 70% Camino Verde, Ecuador chocolate).
