In reply to katherine. Hi Katherine! They are sprinkled on top of the marzipan just before serving. Definitely optional but it gives the top a nice punch of colour without having to use food colouring.

In reply to Donna. Hi Donna, The first time I made this recipe, I skipped the layer of marzipan on top and simply dusted with powdered sugar. Technically, fraisiers and framboisiers always have a thin layer of marzipan on top so I retested the recipe and opted for the more classic marzipan topping. I ground freeze-dried raspberries to sprinkle over top to give it the bright red colour on top! Hope this makes sense and sorry I skipped that step in the directions!

I just found this recipe, but I have a question. Two different pictures one shows that it looks like it has powdered sugar sprinkled on the top but the other one is red on top. Can you tell me what the red top is? Thank you. I look forward to trying this.

When do you use the freeze dried raspberries? You have them listed in the ingredients but I can’t seem to see when you use them in the method.

In reply to Cyndi. Hi Cyndi, You make the mousseline from pastry cream plus butter, so the vanilla bean pastry cream you make at the beginning of the recipe is used later in the steps to make the mousseline. I hope that helps! I apologize for the confusion!

When and where do you add the vanilla bean pastry cream?
