Crystalized White Chocolate

I don’t know what that says about me that I end up making dessert that looks like gravelly soil, but here it is. It’s leftover caramelized white chocolate that I mixed with molten sugar and dusted with cocoa powder to produce these crunchy crumbs with a mix of cocoa and white chocolate taste. The stuff itself is rather sweet, so the big question was to find something that balances it out. I tried a low sugar cocoa cake brushed with a mix of whisky and orange bitters, a layer of Greek yogurt and a scoop of pistachio gelato on top. Pretty good, even if I could probably tweak the balance of the elements until the cows come home.
