Kitchen notes

Contains milk/dairy from cream and butter; pistachio topping adds tree nuts. Check chocolate packaging for other allergens including soy or nuts. Use correctly identified food-grade dried Orange Blossoms (Citrus aurantium as labelled on the ingredient product), not pesticide-treated ornamental blossoms. Fresh-cream confection should be refrigerated; the archived recipe gives no tested yield, shelf life or storage duration. No therapeutic claims are made.
