Ingredients

Vin Berries

1 bottle pinot noir

1 half cinnamon stick

1 clove

4 peppercorns

Hazelnut Crunch Topping

½ orange dried zest

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup toasted hazelnut

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon espresso beans

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Cream

2/3 cup heavy cream

6 ½ Tablespoons yogurt

6 ½ Tablespoons mascarpone cheese

1 Tablespoon superfine sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cardamom

½ star anise, ground

Directions

Wine Reduction

1Make a reduction on the stove. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer to reduce pinot until it reaches a syrupy consistency. Strain and cool.

Cream

1Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk to soft peaks. Take care not to over whip... (It shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds.) Pop in refrigerator if it needs to thicken.

Hazelnut Crunch Topping

1Use a mortar and pestle to crush the orange zest with the salt. Add the hazelnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and espresso, and continue to crush until it is sandy. Stir in sesame seeds.
