  • Remove the slice from the freezer 10 minutes before decorating the top with the rose petals and then cutting it into small squares.
  • Do not let the slice sit at room temperature for too long or it may melt. Store any leftovers in the freezer.

Notes

You could decorate the top of the slice with dried rose petals, crumbled freeze-dried berries, cacao nibs or chopped walnuts.
