    Treat to Try: MJOMII’s Classic Ispahans are Made Special for Valentine’s Day

    Just before Christmas, artisan dessert house MJOMII released their version of the Ispahan, in a large 7″ cake size, and also brought back their popular mini-size. I was lucky enough to order the mini-size as the large one sold out quickly. Fortunately, they have brought both back for Valentine’s Day and have added edible rose petals on top as a special touch for the holiday.

    Drawing inspiration from the creation by French pastry chef Pierre Hermé, MJOMII celebrates similar flavors of rose, raspberry, and vanilla in their Ispahans. Their mini-size is slightly larger than their signature macaron. Filled with a smooth vanilla/rose buttercream and stacked with fresh raspberries in between the macarons, the Ispahans have a delicious flavor. The raspberry shells’ slightly chewy texture is easy to bite into and the dessert easily disappears in four bites (or less). It’s a shame when it is all gone, but you are left with memories of such delight. Luckily they are sold as a twin-pack. Or, you could go all in and enjoy the larger cake version.

    The Valentine’s Day edition of both versions will have edible rose petals adorning the top.

    The 7″ cake size is filled with lychee slices in addition to the vanilla/rose buttercream and will have over 40 fresh raspberries inside.
