LADY KISSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 360 degrees F.
• To make the orange waffle, begin by mixing the icing sugar with the butter. Then mix in the orange juice and egg white. Finally, add the flour and mix. Keep it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Spoon the batter to create some circles on a silpat or parchment lined backing sheet and dust with grated orange peel.
• Bake for 4 minutes. Create quickly the desired forms to the waffle.
• Break the chocolate and warm up in a saucepan to approximately 100 degrees F. Beat in the egg yolk and the icing sugar. Remove the mixture from the heat and cool it while beating. Combine the melted chocolate and chocolate spread with the whipped cream. Pour the cream into the egg yolk mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• To serve the mouse, dip a spoon in a bowl of tepid water and spoon out the desired amount of mousse and create some quenelles to put on the orange waffle.
• Garnish with some fresh berries and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

BACI DI DAMA

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse together the flour, confectioners' sugar, ground hazelnuts, baking powder and salt until completely combined. Add the cold butter all at once, and continue to pulse until it comes together.
• Place the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten to about 1 inch, then wrap well and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Pinch off teaspoon-sized pieces of dough and roll into small balls, then transfer to the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the cookie sheets halfway through, until dry to the touch, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool undisturbed (the cookies are fragile) on the cookie sheets on a rack.
• Once cool, spread the chocolate hazelnut spread on the bottoms of the cookies and sandwich them together. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
