Prepare the Base

Slice the baguette or crostini into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Arrange them on a baking sheet.

Make Dark Chocolate Ganache

In a small saucepan, heat 100ml of heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add 200g of dark chocolate, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Let it cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine 150g of mascarpone cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add Fresh Berries

Top the ganache with a mix of fresh berries. You can choose strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries for color and flavor.

6

Garnish

Sprinkle chopped nuts over the berries for added crunch. Finish with a mint leaf on top for decoration.
