Theo Mistral by Theo Randall at InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong has announced the first ever collaboration with non-profit organisation Smile With Us HK to launch a special edition dessert platter—‘Piatto Di Dolci’—for charity between 1 December 2018 and 30 March 2019. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to J Life Foundation Limited to help underprivileged as well as low-income families and children.

British celebrity chef Theo Randall, the mastermind behind Theo Mistral by Theo Randall, and Laurinda Ho, the founder of Smile With Us HK, spent approximately three weeks working together to co-create the dessert of meringue with raspberries and mascarpone cream, the highlight of the special edition dessert platter. It is rooted in British classic dessert ‘Eton Mess’ yet infused with Italian flavour, featuring a crispy meringue as the base, topped with Italian mascarpone cream and raspberries then garnished with caramelised almonds.

The charity has been working to raise awareness and to support projects to foster a more caring community in Hong Kong. Each order of the special edition dessert platter will raise funds for providing support—from tangible goods and food to education—for the city's underprivileged families. 

The special edition dessert platter ‘Piatto Di Dolci’, priced at HK$188, features four sweet creations: meringue with raspberries and mascarpone cream; soft chocolate cake; Amalfi lemon tart; and panna cotta. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to J Life Foundation Limited. This special edition dessert platter is available from 1 December 2018 to 30 March 2019.
