Instructions

Crystallized Rosemary

  • Whisk up your egg white until it starts to become foamy.
    1 Large Egg White
  • Then, using a pastry brush, paint each rosemary sprig with egg white and sprinkle sugar on top.
    1-2 Rosemary Sprigs, 1 ½ tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • Lay each sprig on a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in a cool area for 8 hours. 

Rosemary & Orange Chocolate Filling

  • In order to make your chocolate & orange filling combine your cream, butter, rosemary and orange peel into a small saucepan. Heat the mixture on low until liquid is simmering, then remove the saucepan from heat. In order to properly infuse your cream, allow the mixture to sit in a fridge for 1-2 hours or even overnight! 
    ½ Cup Heavy Cream , ⅓ Cup Unsalted Butter , 3 Rosemary Sprigs , 1 Orange
  • Once your cream has been infused, bring it back to a simmer by heating on low. Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt slowly. Once melted, strain the infused cream into your chocolate and discard the rosemary and orange peel.
    ¾ Cup Dark Chocolate
  • Stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth and set aside. 
  • Place your egg, yolks, and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on medium until your mixture is light, pale and frothy.
    1 Egg , 3 Egg Yolks , ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • Slowly pour the egg mixture into the chocolate, while mixing, until combined.
