Raspberry Chocolate Basil
 

Happy Friday guys! The recipe of the day is fruity, summery, sweet, very chocolatey and very simple – Basil Chocolate Ganache Cake with Fresh Raspberries. I’d say this is one of the most perfect summer desserts for me. And what really makes the difference here is the basil, this amazing herb makes the cake so aromatic and so flavoursome. And whats more, it goes perfectly with the milk chocolate and raspberries!
 
Bear in mind though, this dessert goes very quickly! Oh, and there’s no baking involved.

Tip: Why not try using some dark chocolate next time! It’ll taste different, but I’m sure it’ll be delicious too!
