  • Fennel seeds (saunf) coarsely ground 1/2 teaspoon

  • Crushed black peppercorns 1/2 teaspoon

  • For Rose mascarpone cream

  • Mascarpone cheese 1 cup

  • Icing sugar 4 tablespoons

  • Rose extract a few drops

  • Dried rose petals 2 teaspoons

  • Whipped cream 1/2 cup

  • For Butter roasted almonds

  • Butter 1 teaspoon

  • Almonds 1/4 cup

Method

Step 1

To make roasted almonds, heat butter in a non-stick pan. Add almonds and roast on low heat for 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2

To make fennel tuile, Preheat oven at 180°C. Mix together icing sugar, refined flour, butter, fennel seeds and crushed black peppercorns in a bowl. Add 25 ml water and mix well into a smooth batter.

Step 3

Place a silicon mat on a baking tray and pour the batter using a tablespoon so that we get same sized tuiles. Leave sufficient distance between each. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes or till the edges turn golden.

Step 4

Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool for 1 minute. Carefully lift the biscuits and roll them on the handle of a wooden spoon, one at a time, to get a cylindrical shape. Remove them gently after they are cooled. Repeat the same process with rest of the batter.

Step 5

To make rose mascarpone cream, mix mascarpone cheese, icing sugar, whipped cream, candied rose petals, rose extract, dried rose petals and mix well. Fill the mixture into a piping bag.

Step 6

Crush roasted almonds in a garlic chopper and put in a bowl.

Step 7

Pipe the filling into the tuile biscuits from both sides and coat the edges with crushed roasted almonds.

Step 8

Arrange them on a serving plate and serve immediately.
