These are taken from a Nigel Slater recipe that I found on The Guardians 20 Best Chocolate Recipes list. I’ve ever so slightly amended the idea myself – however, as this is such a versatile recipe, you can add or take out a variety of ingredients to suit your own personal taste. These are incredibly simple to create, and make such a beautiful and delicate offering that just bursts with flavour. They can be used to surprise friends with, or enjoy as a complete self indulgence… The choice is yours.
Ingredients:
200g good quality dark chocolate
A handful of chopped hazelnuts
Sea salt flakes
Edible rose petals (can be purchased at any good baking shop)
A large handful of pistachios
Method:
Melt the dark chocolate over a gentle heat, until completely runny.
Spoon into generously sized discs on a non-stick surface.
Roughly crush your pistachios, leaving some slightly larger pieces – I used a good old rolling pin to give them a bash. Sprinkle onto the discs.
Follow up by adding a small sprinkle of sea salt and a pinch of chopped hazelnuts to each disc.
Finally, decorate with your edible rose petals.
Transfer to the fridge for an hour or two and enjoy. Told you it was simple…
Looks so delicious & elegant!
