½ cup whipping cream 2 tablespoon butter 9 ounce white chocolate baking squares (with cocoa butter), chopped 2 ¼ cup whipping cream
White Chocolate Leaves:
Use nontoxic fresh leaves such as bay, rose, lemon, or ivy. Melt 3 ounces white chocolate baking squares (3 ounces makes enough to coat 10 to 12 small leaves). Dip underside (vein side) of each leaf in the melted white chocolate, being careful not to coat the topside of the leaf. (Or use a small paintbrush to brush several coats of the melted white chocolate on the underside of each leaf.) Wipe off any white chocolate on the top side of the leaf. Place the leaves, white chocolate sides up, on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper or a curved surface, such as a rolling pin or measuring cup; chill or freeze until hardened. Before using, peel the leaf away from the white chocolate; discard leaf.
