Then, garnish it as desired.Take the pavé out of the plastic and place it on a dish for serving.For a sophisticated touch, you may decorate the pavé with extra sliced fruits, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder.Present and Savor:Apply a sharp knife to the cooled pavé and cut it into thick slices.Enjoy the decadent blend of rich chocolate mousse and luscious, fresh fruit as you cut into individual servings and place them on dessert plates.Desserts don’t begin to describe the Special Fruit Pavé; this work of culinary art is sure to wow and amaze guests at any event.
