I have shared with you plenty of salty verrines, what about one sweet for a change?
Have you ever heard of the pink biscuits of Reims? Originally coming from the Reims area, these biscuits are one of the most famous specialities of Reims after the Champagne.
The pink biscuits of Reims have been created at the end of the seventeenth century. They were originally white. But they have been then pink tinted in order to minimize the black color given by the vanilla pod.
These pink biscuits may be eaten alone as a snack or soak in some Champagne or Red wine. They are also often used to decorate charlotte.
Today I used them to make a trifle. Their pink color contrasts with the white of the cottage cheese and mascarpone. You can also add some raspberries in the mascapone mix to add some freshness to this recipe!
