To make this dessert, you will need:
For the white chocolate namelaka
– 6 ounces white chocolate
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp gelatin powder
– 2 tbsp cold water
For the black chocolate namelaka
– 6 ounces dark chocolate
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp gelatin powder
– 2 tbsp cold water
– 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
– 1-2 drops green food coloring (optional)
Directions:
1. Begin by making the white chocolate namelaka. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
4. Pour the cream mixture over the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
6. While the white chocolate namelaka is cooling, repeat the same steps above to make the black chocolate namelaka, but add the peppermint extract and green food coloring (if using) to the cream mixture before pouring it over the melted chocolate.
7. Once both the white and black chocolate namelaka have cooled to room temperature, whip each mixture separately using an electric mixer until it becomes light and airy.
8. Layer the white and black chocolate namelaka in a glass or dessert dish, alternating between each layer until the dish is full.
9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
10. Serve chilled and enjoy the smooth and refreshing combination of white and black chocolate namelaka with mint.
