Ingredients

Method
  • 1 free-range egg, separated
  • a handful of violets, carefully washed and dried
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 200 g dried black figs
  • 2 x 100 g slabs of good-quality dark chocolate, melted
  • 250 g mascarpone

Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.

Dip the violets into the egg white to coat, then scatter liberally with caster sugar. Place on wax paper or a silicon mat to set.

Dip the edges of the figs into the melted chocolate and arrange on a silicon mat to set.

In shallow bowls, top spoonfuls of mascarpone with the sugared violets and figs and serve with rose-petal jam and kumquats.

Cook’s note: Rose-petal jam is available from specialty stores.
