Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, an almond, fresh apricot slices, and a few crushed hazelnuts.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n 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\u00b0F for 40 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.<\/p>\n
\n Allow the roasted apricots to cool, remove the rosemary, and gently mix to create a rich and aromatic compote.<\/p>\n
\n 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.<\/p>\n
\n 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.<\/p>\n
\n Layer the cookies with a layer of chantilly cream. Add the apricot compote on top, then finish with another layer of chantilly.<\/p>\n
\n 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.<\/p>\nUnmolding and Decorating<\/h3>\n
