“Everybody should believe in something. I believe I will have another piece of chocolate.”

And another, and another. Until…I guess until I die. Don’t judge me.

Chocolate is good for you. For me. For all of us.

So, let’s make the best Chocolate Mousse Towers.

SHOPPING LIST

Before you start making this fabulous Chocolate Mousse Towers please be sure that

you have the following ingredients.

-Chocolate (white and dark)

-heavy cream

-fresh raspberries

-fresh blueberries

Now if you have all above in your kitchen you are ready to start this baking show.

BAKING TIME

The first thing we are going to make is the White Chocolate Raspberry Cream

Ingredients:

3/4 cup heavy cream

2  and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips

6 oz or 170 gr fresh Raspberries

Puree raspberries using food processor.

Pour the raspberry mixture through a fine sieve to get rid of seeds. Set aside.

Chocolate Mousse Towers from the best food blog 5starcookies-Remove the seeds

Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.

So, you just made your White Chocolate Raspberry Cream.

MAKING CHOCOLATE DISK

Now, let’s make the chocolate disk.

For this you will need only one ingredient – DARK CHOCOLATE!

I used Lindt chocolate.

100 gr Dark Link (70% cocoa)

Cut the chocolate into small pieces.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl set in a saucepan half-filled with hot water.

Cut 2 stripes of parchment paper. The size is 14 inch long and 3 inch wide.

Very quickly spread the chocolate on the paper stripes.

Let cool until on the point of setting. (You will know. It is still soft but not melting)

Using the cookie cutter cut into the shape you like.

When the chocolate is firm, very carefully peel the paper away from the disk.

Now, you can store in the fridge. (up to one week).

ASSEMBLE THE CHOCOLATE TOWERS

Prepare about 1/2 cup of blueberries for decoration.

Fill the pastry bag with White Chocolate Raspberry Cream.

Use 1M or 2D frosting tip.

Pipe out a small rouse on chocolate disk,

Arrange a few blueberries around the rose.

Set the chocolate disk on top and press down gently.

Pipe another rose and add blueberries.

Cover with 3rd chocolate disk.

Basil Pesto – The best King in your kitchen

Hello my dear readers!

Today my post is about the king in OUR life.

The BASIL

If you never pay attention to the basil, shame on you. You are totally ignorant.

basil pesto from the best food blog 5starcookies and cookie - Your Basil Pesto
basil pesto from the best food blog 5starcookies and cookie – Your Basil Pesto

So, what should you know about our king?

For the start the word “basil” derives from the Greek work “basileus” which means “KING”.

If that is not enough some people called basil the “royal herb”.

What else should you know? Maybe the country of origin?

INDIA!

It is believed that basil has origins in India.

Since now you know the basic of the basil we can start our cooking show.

Let’s make the basil pesto.

BASIC BASIL KNOWLEDGE

1.Wash your basil with cold water. Never use warm water because it will wilt them.

2. Dry the basil well using a kitchen towel.

3. Chop the basil and garlic before you put them into food processor.

Are you ready for the next step?

basil pesto from the best food blog 5starcookies and cookie - Add to pasta
basil pesto from the best food blog 5starcookies and cookie – Add to pasta

Storage

1.In a Jar in the fridge – Fill a jar to the top. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and seal closed to keep pesto green.

You can keep it in the fridge for about 2 weeks if you continue to cover the top with olive oil.

2. Ice cube tray – place basil pesto into ice cube tray and freeze. Then use frozen pesto cubes and store in plastic freezer bags.

You can keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

I hope you enjoy this post and you are inspired to make it yourself.

Special Comment

Be aware that this pesto is full of the garlic. And I mean FULL!!!

I use sometimes 15 cloves of garlic in this recipe. (yes, I know but I believe garlic is good for you…)

And I also don’t use Parmesan cheese or pine nuts.

I like simple combo of the garlic, the olive oil and the king basil.

If you are still questioning my recipe please DON’T!

Healthy is good for you. Your body and your soul will say:THANK YOU!
