Cacao-Fruit Gâteau Basque

Cacao-Fruit Gâteau Basque - Main image
$46.92 $68 In stock

Our Cacao-Fruit Gâteau Basque highlights the sweet, tangy pulp of Ecuadorian cacao fruit, which we gently cook down to make a delicate jam, then layer with silky vanilla pastry cream crafted with vanilla beans from Hawai’i. 

We bake the smooth fillings into a vanilla butter crust; and the beautiful contrast of crumbly and creamy layers makes for an unforgettable pastry experience, enhanced by tropical aromas of fresh cacao fruit and real vanilla bean.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Harper N. ★★★★★

I was surprised by how complex the flavor is — the cacao fruit jam adds a tangy brightness that perfectly cuts the richness of the pastry cream. Every bite feels balanced and carefully layered.

James P. ★★★★★

The cacao fruit jam is genuinely tangy, not just sweet like I expected from a chocolate-adjacent dessert. The vanilla pastry cream underneath is silky enough that it almost melts into the crust. I've already ordered a second one.

Riley O. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a cacao dessert that isn't chocolatey, but the tangy jam against the vanilla pastry cream totally won me over. The crust stayed crisp even after two days in the fridge, which honestly surprised me.
