What herbs to use to flavor ... a dessert?
The mint : it's the most famous herb in terms of dessert. It is found in syrup, it also marries wonderfully with chocolate preparations or berries. The mint is also very decorative, on our ice cream or our mousses (chocolate), it brings a touch that will make all the difference. Recipe ideas: salad red fruits strewn with mint fresh, applesauce with mint fresh.
The basil : this grass is one of the most fragile, its leaf is quickly damaged by contact with heat, so it must be incorporated at the last moment in our desserts. A second gourmet option is to use the basil to perfume our marinades or we can infuse leaves of basil in cold milk. This herb is very fragrant, it is enough to raise the taste of any fruit. Recipe ideas: lemon sorbet basil, salad red fruits at basil, pancake batter with basil.
Rosemary: it has a warm flavor that tends to raise slightly acidic fruits such as citrus, grapefruit, oranges ... rosemary enhances the taste of its fruits. So we do not hesitate to test. Recipe ideas: Homemade sorbet flavored with rosemary or homemade Italian ice cream.
Thyme: it marries wonderfully with summer fruits, especially with apricots, peaches, mangoes ... We also like thyme with a little caramel sauce, it has the ability to accentuate the taste of many flavors . Recipe ideas: sprinkle fresh thyme on a homemade caramel or it is incorporated into a recipe of salad of mango / pineapple fruit, a delight!
Coriander: it is the ally of exotic fruits, so do not hesitate to shear in many recipes of salad fruits made from exotic fruits. Recipe ideas: it is used in all our recipes based on coconut milk.
Dill: this herb has the ability to bring aniseed taste to all our desserts. However, we advise you to use it in dairy-based recipes. Recipe ideas: Dill pudding.
