Description
A dessert that takes inspiration from a bouquet of flowers. The base is a buttery shortbread crust, adorned with a velvety rose-infused cream. Delicate petals of dried lavender and rosebuds are scattered over the cream, infusing the dessert with a subtle floral note. Fresh raspberries and blueberries bring bursts of vibrant color, while crushed pistachios provide a delightful crunch. The final touch is a dusting of edible gold flakes, adding a touch of luxury and elegance to the presentation. The dessert is served on a white porcelain plate, garnished with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of green.
Tips
For those looking to substitute ingredients in this floral-inspired dessert, there are a few options available. Instead of using butter in the shortbread crust, coconut oil or margarine can be used as vegan alternatives. For individuals who may not enjoy the taste of rose, a different floral extract, such as orange blossom or lavender, can be used in the cream. Dried edible flowers like chamomile or hibiscus can also be used in place of lavender and rosebuds for a unique twist.
