After the glaze sets for 2 minutes, use a spoon to slowly drip the extra honey over the top edges for a thick, golden effect. Press the crushed pistachios around the bottom edge of each dome and garnish with gold dust and thyme before thawing in the fridge for 3 hours.

Orange Blossom Honey Meringue Cake

 

Ingredients

4 large egg whites, room temperature

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1 cup superfine sugar

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp orange blossom water

1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese, softened

1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled

3 tbsp orange blossom honey

1 tsp orange zest

1/4 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 cup orange blossom honey

1 tbsp fresh orange juice

1/2 tsp orange blossom water

1 pinch saffron threads, crushed

1/2 cup toasted pistachios, roughly chopped

1/4 cup dried edible rose petals

1/2 cup fresh orange segments, membranes removed

1 tsp edible gold luster dust

Directions

Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet

with parchment paper. Draw two 7-inch circles on the

parchment, then flip it over.

In a clean glass bowl, beat egg whites and cream of

tartar until soft peaks form.

Gradually add superfine sugar, one tablespoon at a time,

whisking on high speed until the meringue is stiff, glossy,

and holds its shape.

Gently fold in the cornstarch, orange blossom water, and

vanilla bean paste.

Divide the meringue between the two circles on the

parchment, smoothing the tops into thick, even discs.

Bake for 60–75 minutes, then turn off the oven and let

the meringue layers cool completely inside with the door

slightly ajar to prevent cracking.

For the honey-saffron syrup, simmer the honey, orange

juice, orange blossom water, and crushed saffron in a

small saucepan for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool and

thicken.

Prepare the orange blossom silk cream by whisking the

mascarpone, heavy cream, 3 tbsp honey, orange zest,

and cardamom until thick and billowy.

To assemble, place one meringue layer on a serving plate

and spread half of the orange blossom silk cream over

the top.

Scatter half of the chopped pistachios and orange

segments over the cream, then drizzle with a tablespoon

of the honey-saffron syrup.

Top with the second meringue layer and the remaining

cream.

Garnish the top with the remaining orange segments,

pistachios, and dried rose petals.

Finish with a generous drizzle of the remaining syrup and

a dusting of gold luster dust.

Blackberry & Sage White Chocolate Mousse

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

4 large fresh sage leaves

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

6 oz high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped

1/2 cup heavy cream (to melt with chocolate)

1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled (for whipping)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 pinch sea salt

1/2 cup fresh blackberries

1/4 cup toasted pistachios, finely crushed

6 small fresh sage leaves

1 tbsp wildflower honey

1 pinch lemon zest

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups blackberries,

granulated sugar, lemon juice, and the 4 large sage

leaves.

Simmer over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes,

mashing the berries with a spoon, until the mixture has

thickened into a syrupy consistency.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Press

the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to

remove the seeds and sage leaves. Let the blackberry-

sage reduction cool completely.

Place the chopped white chocolate in a medium heat-

proof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy

cream until it just begins to simmer.

Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit

for 2 minutes. Whisk gently until the chocolate is

completely melted and smooth. Let cool to room

temperature.

In a large chilled bowl, beat the remaining 1 1/2 cups of

cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and a pinch of

salt until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the cooled white chocolate ganache into the

whipped cream using a rubber spatula until no streaks

remain.

To assemble, spoon a layer of the white chocolate

mousse into six individual serving glasses or ramekins.

Drizzle a spoonful of the blackberry-sage reduction over

the mousse, then top with another layer of mousse. Use a

toothpick to gently swirl the top layer for a marbled

effect.

Refrigerate the mousse for at least 3 hours, or until firmly

set.

Before serving, garnish each glass with fresh

blackberries, a small sage leaf, and a sprinkle of crushed

pistachios.

Finish with a light drizzle of wildflower honey and a

touch of lemon zest for brightness.
