Ingredients
– Apricots: 14 pieces
– Rosemary: 2 sprigs
– Vanilla sugar: 2 packets
– Honey: 2 tablespoons
– Dry Amaretti cookies: 120 grams
– Heavy cream: 10 cl
– Mascarpone cheese: 150 grams
– Almonds: 4 pieces
– Vanilla powder: 1 pinch
– Hazelnuts: 10 grams
Preparation
Total Time: 5 hours 10 minutes
– Prep Time: 30 minutes
– Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Steps:
1. Roasting the Apricots
Halve 12 apricots and remove the pits. Arrange them in a baking dish, sprinkle with one packet of vanilla sugar, drizzle honey over them, and add a sprig of rosemary. Roast at 350°F for 40 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
2. Preparing the Compote
Allow the roasted apricots to cool, remove the rosemary, and gently mix to create a rich and aromatic compote.
3. Preparing the Cookies
Slice the amaretti cookies. Place them at the bottom and along the sides of small glass dishes or verrines, pressing them lightly to form a base.
4. Whipping up Mascarpone Chantilly
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with mascarpone, a packet of vanilla sugar, and a pinch of vanilla powder until it forms a firm and smooth chantilly.
5. Assembling the Charlotte
Layer the cookies with a layer of chantilly cream. Add the apricot compote on top, then finish with another layer of chantilly.
6. Chilling
Cover the verrines with plastic wrap and gently press down with the palm of your hand to ensure the chantilly fills the spaces between the cookies. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Unmolding and Decorating
Carefully unmold by inverting onto a plate, using a knife blade to help release it if necessary. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, an almond, fresh apricot slices, and a few crushed hazelnuts.
