Alastair Hendy's Rosemary and Sea Salt White Chocolate Shards

Imagine the delightful contrast of creamy white chocolate, perfectly complemented by the aromatic touch of rosemary and a sprinkle of sea salt. This recipe transforms simple ingredients into elegant shards that are not only a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes. Once set, these shards can be broken into pieces of your desired size, making them an irresistible addition to any dessert platter or a sweet snack to enjoy on their own.

1. 1

   Gently melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan containing a little simmering water.

2. 2

   Stir in the remaining ingredients.

3. 3

   Pour on to a tray lined with greaseproof paper (we used a swiss roll tin, 36cm x 25cm x 2cm).

4. 4

   Smooth the top and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.

5. 5

   Break into shards the size of your choice (you should get roughly 30, as a guide).
