Invited to dinner by two tenants who appreciated the time I put into making sure they got dibs on just the right suite for them, we feasted on lamb shanks with parsnips sprinkled with a gremolade that was just the right combination of a winter and spring dish! A bit of tasty young greens salad with a lovely dressing and a glass of light chardonnay started the meal, which I closed with my chocolate mousse-filled phyllo cups. Though milk chocolate in hue, the taste was definitely dark, rich chocolate lightened only by air. Ripe raspberries adding a nice acidic note as a foil, and I topped it all off with whipped cream barely sweetened with my lavender sugar. Tucked into a cup of crispy phyllo dusted with a sprinkling of sugar and finely chopped toasted hazelnuts between each paper-thin layers, I do believe it was a hit!

Sounds sinfully yummy, Marsha! What is this lavender sugar you speak of?
