WINE NOTES
Maury: Maury is an appellation in Southern France in the Roussillon region that is known for its sweet fortified, vin doux naturel, port-style wines, made primarily from the Grenache grape. Notice flavors of coffee, mocha, chestnut and tea.

Vietnamese Coffee: Made with a filter that sits on top of the cup. Typically a Dark French roast, sometimes with chicory (which was first added as an extender, but stayed in because of its complex bitter chocolate flavor), and sweetened condensed milk. Great hot or iced.
 

 

Chocolate Mousse Napoleon

 

  • 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
  • Powdered sugar
  • 2 cups Chocolate Mousse
  • Fresh berries for garnish
  • Template for powdered sugar design
  • Pastry bag with tip of choice

To prepare puff pastry: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll sheets to 1/4-inch thick and cut into 3x2-inch pieces. Place pastry pieces on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan, brush with egg wash, cover with a second piece of parchment and a sheet pan, to weigh the pieces down, and bake in oven until almost cooked through (about 80% done). Remove top sheet pan and top parchment, shake powdered sugar over puff pastry, and finish baking, uncovered. Remove pieces to a cooling rack. To make napoleons: Scoop mousse into pastry bag fitted with tip. Dab mousse on a dessert plate, top with cooled puff pastry and secure, Add 3 dollops of mousse, another pastry, another 3 dollops, then top with final pastry. Use your template to make a sugar design on top, garnish with fresh berries and store in fridge until ready to serve.
