Method
 

Preparation of sable disks
  1. Mix the flour, cold butter, powdered sugar, yolk, cold water, and pinch of salt to form a smooth dough.
  2. Roll the mixture into a log and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Once chilled, roll out to a thin 2mm thickness and cut out 16 elegant discs.
  4. Bake at 170°C for 8-10 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they turn a beautiful golden shade.
Preparation of mascarpone cream
  1. In a bowl, whip together the mascarpone, fresh cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until you achieve a soft yet stable consistency.
Assembly
  1. Fill a pastry bag with the whipped mascarpone cream.
  2. On each cooled base disk, create a thick ring of cream and place one syrup cherry in the center.
  3. Top with another disk, hugging the cherry with the cream.
  4. Coat the edge of the top disc with more cream and gently press the pistachio grain into it.
  5. Swirl cream on top and decorate with a raspberry, edible flowers, and a mint leaf.
  6. Allow to chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

For the fluffiest whipped cream, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping. Keep desserts away from strong odors in the fridge.
