White Chocolate Summer
Here is a super-simple recipe to impress over summer! I was wandering around a home retailer recently and spotted a really eye-catching plate ... So I bought one and drove home immediately, aiming straight for the kitchen.
The tuile disks are made in the exact same way as the Peach Melba basket:
100g Plain Flour
100g Melted Unsalted Butter
100g Icing Sugar
2 Egg Whites
Combine, chill right down, bake. Simple. If you leave out the egg whites and add 50g of Golden Syrup, you happen to make a brandy snap ... But that's by the by. It's also not the correct way of making brandy snaps, but it is an easy way!
For the White Chocolate Cream:
White Chocolate
Double Cream
Vanilla Essence
Quantity is down to you. Ratio is also down to you. Melt the chocolate over a bain-marrie. In a bowl, whip the cream to ribbon stage, then fold in the chocolate. After the cream and the chocolate are fully combined, then you can whip the cream to whichever stage you need. Add the vanilla to taste.
Have fun stacking the dessert! I used a piping bag, but it is not necessary. I also used pomegranates, but that also isn't necessary. You can use any fruit.
Top with a mint leaf. Not necessary, but looks and tastes great! Can you see a pattern here? Make it your own.
