A round row of madeleines as a dog collar with a golden chocolate name tag.
A festive dessert shaped like a dog collar: a round row of madeleines with a white chocolate 'name tag' and edible gold details. This refers to Bardot's auctioned dog collars and her love for animals.
Ingredients
- 16 madeleines (store-bought or homemade)
- 100 g white chocolate
- 1 tbsp edible gold powder or gold sugar pearls
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 handful fresh strawberries
- 1 handful blueberries
Method
- Melt the white chocolate au bain-marie and pour onto baking paper to form a rectangular tag (8x3 cm). Let harden.
- Dust the chocolate tag with edible gold powder or gold pearls as the 'name tag'.
- Wash and halve the strawberries. Wash the blueberries.
- Arrange the madeleines in a closed circle on a large round plate to form a collar.
- Place the chocolate name tag as the clasp at the bottom of the circle.
- Garnish the circle with strawberries and blueberries between the madeleines.
- Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice to make a thin glaze and drizzle over the madeleines for a festive shine.
Serving notes
- Serve on a large round plate so the collar shape is clearly visible.
- Place the chocolate tag prominently, optionally with a name written in edible pen.
- Sprinkle extra gold pearls for a luxurious effect.
