Shiny Disco Balls
Shimmery white chocolate truffles that emulate the flavor and sensation of Rose Champagne. As the Electricdust™ coating starts tingling, the cocoa butter coats you tongue and creates an effervescence, akin to drinking Champagne. The perfect pairing with a glass of cold Rose’ bubbly.
1 cup white chocolate melting wafers + 3 tablespoons heavy cream + 3 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter works also) + 1 tablespoon Rosewater + 1 tablespoon Rose’ Champagne (can be omitted for N/A truffles) + 1 teaspoon ground cardamom + 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + Electricdust™
In a medium microwave-safe bowl heat the white chocolate, coconut oil, and cream in 30-second intervals until melted, mixing in between, about 1 to 2 minutes. + Add rosewater, Champagne, cardamom, and salt and stir well. + Refrigerate for 2 hours until firm. + Scoop with teaspoon or candy scoop and roll into balls. + Sprinkle Electricdust™ or roll ball on a plate covered in Electricdust™. + Serve with a glass of chilled Rose’ Champagne
Electricdusted Nuts
Is it a party without warm spiced nuts? I’m pretty sure it’s not. This exotic spiced-blend will electrify your guests and get their palates buzzing for cocktails and appetizers. It also packages well to send for a virtual- happy hours.
1 cup mixed nuts (unsalted) + 2 tbsp Ponzu Sauce (soy or tamari work well too) + 2 tbsp honey (or agave if you prefer) + 1 tbsp sesame oil + ½ tsp Chinese five spice + ¼ tsp salt +1 teaspoon Electricdust
In a saucepan over medium heat bring ponzu sauce, sesame oil, honey, 5-spice and salt. Add nuts and stir until they are well coated. Spread the mixed nuts onto a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer. Using the parchment paper or a silpat helps keep the nuts from over-toasting and it makes clean-up really easy.
Toast the nuts in your oven until the aroma of delicious hot nuts is wafting through your home. They will be a deep mahogany brown, about 15 minutes. Make sure to stir them every 5 minutes to prevent burning. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Electricdust. Put them in a pretty platter or bowl and watch them be the life of the party. Keeps for about a week on the counter or longer when stored in a tightly sealed container in the freezer.
