Discover white chocolate desert roses, a crunchy and easy-to-prepare treat. A decadent variation that combines the crunch of cereal with the sweetness of white chocolate.
Ingredients
- 200 g white chocolate
- 100 g cornflakes
- 30 g butter
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- 1Melt the white chocolate and butter in a double boiler over low heat. Add the pinch of salt. (White chocolate is delicate; melt it gently to prevent it from becoming grainy.)
- 2Once melted and smooth, gently fold the mixture into the cornflakes with a spatula until they are thoroughly coated. (Use unsweetened cornflakes to avoid making the dessert overly sweet.)
- 3Use a spoon to form small clusters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Try to create rounded shapes to mimic \"desert roses.\"
- 4Place the desert roses in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until they are firm.
Tips
- Serve with fresh raspberries to add a touch of acidity.
- White chocolate does not like humidity; store them in a cool, dry place.
- Pair these sweets with matcha tea to balance the sugar with a slight bitterness.
Substitutions
- cornflakes → spelt flakes or puffed rice — These offer different textures and flavors.
- pecans → almonds, hazelnuts, or cashews — To vary the crunch.
