cool desserts

here's two ideas i picked up today.

BERRIES with WHITE CHOCOLATE SAUCE

first, to prepare the white chocolate sauce.
1. you'll need 250ml of cream and roughly 250g of white chocolate (1:1 ratio), and also some vanilla sticks.
2. warm the cream together with the vanilla in a pot. put the white chocolate in a bowl and pour the heated cream with the vanilla over it. stir the contents of the bowl till homogeneous (minus the vanilla, that is) as the chocolate will melt.
3. after this, pour the contents back into the pot and warm slightly. be careful not to overheat of the chocolate might 'split'.
4. arrange the berries (raspberry, blueberry, straberry...anything!) on a plate.
5. pour the white chocolate sauce on the berries.
6. serve immediately

second, just a simple concept. you may consider preparing mousse with a jelly base. that'll give the dessert a whole new dimension. i shall try to work out the recipe for lemon mousse.
