Homage to Nana vol.2









Fluff we used to call it, aeroplane jelly - fruit liquor set with gelatin cooled and whipped. There was a lot of stigma around the said dessert, I never really got into it, conveniently before this course arrived I had had sufficient an any more would have been supurfulous.

In this case I used chardonnay, concord grapes and sugar simmered for about 5 minutes, blitzed, passed, chilled over ice, poured into shot glasses, the remainder I whipped up and spooned on top and let set in the fridge! Choice fluff aye!

They all made their way into the blender and turned into cookie crumbs. then into the Hobart with some softened butter, sugar flour a cup of water and became the base to some pretty snazzy chestnut chocolate ricotta and honey cheesecakes. the actual recipe for the base will always remain a mystery but i quickly jotted down the cheese part down for future reference, enter iota carrageenan , aka irish moss. This enabled me to set the che
