I made this over the weekend for a party. Since this is the first time I made (read experimented) it I wanted my guest to try it prior to posting the recipe. I wanted to take a picture because it was so pretty but it was almost all gone in a matter of little time .
Here is the recipe if someone wants to try it:
3 cups of heavy cream
1 cup of half and half
1 tsp of orange extract and orange zest
1.5 cup of white chocolate chips
Fresh raspberries
Good Quality Swiss or other comparable white chocolate bar
Powdered Sugar
Agar Agar or Gelatin (3 small sheets of Agar Agar or 1 tbsp of gelatin)
1/2 cup of water to melt the Agar or Gelatin
In a saucepan add the heavy cream and half and half, bring it to a rolling boil and let it simmer for a while. In a seperate saucepan, melt the gelatin or agar agar in 1/2 cup of water until completely dissolved
Add the orange zest and extract to the milk mixture and also add the white chocolate. Stir until it's all combined. Then slowly pour in the gelatin or agar, agar. I like to strain mine through a mesh strainer to catch any unsavory lumps. Stir, taste the sugar and add some (white chocolate has sugar so taste prior to adding).
Pour in ramekins (I used disposable foil trays) and let it cool on the counter for a little bit. Then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Garnish with raspberries and dust the raspberries with some powdered sugar and grated white chocolate.
