The best part about our video recipe series this month?

Obviously the recipe, but also baking in Panibois. Yes, we may be biased, but if you've tried wooden baking molds before, you'll see how convenient they truly are. Aside from little to no clean-up, Panibois baking molds are perfect for presentation, or adding that additional artisan touch. We will also customize your mold in-house offering high quality logo engravings. Do you sell product at your local farmers market and want to stand out? Serving your goods in a custom engraved 100% biodegradable baking mold is a good way to do just that.

Not only does Panibois offer a simple clean-up and baking experience, you can also go from prep, to the freezer, to the oven without exchanging molds or touching your items again. 

The recipe in itself offers a very light substitution for those heavy sweet desserts we have grown accustomed too. Although offering some sweetness, the pistachio and almond balance out this dessert ever so delicately. Not only is the presentation beautiful but you are able to customize the strawberry topping however you seem fit. Play around with it, and make it yours!
