Ingredients
- 10 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup raspberry puree
- 1 tsp lavender buds, dried
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large egg whites
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler and set aside to cool slightly. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Add raspberry puree into the whipped cream and fold gently. Crush dried lavender buds and mix with granulated sugar. In a separate clean bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into cooled chocolate gently. Divide the mixture into three portions: two thirds into whipped cream and raspberry mixture, and one third into lavender infused sugar. Swirl the layers in individual serving glasses to create a marble effect. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Chef’s Insight
To enhance the aroma, steep the lavender buds in warm milk instead of infusing sugar.
Notes
For a stronger lavender flavor, use culinary-grade lavender buds.
