How to make it
- Graham Crackers:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, honey, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of the water.
- Work the mixture until a stiff dough forms, adding more water as necessary 1 tsp at a time.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a plate as a guide, cut out six 5-inch circles. Fit the dough into six 3 3/4-inch tartlet pans and trim the edges with a sharp knife. Prick the bottoms of the tarts with a fork.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake the tartlet shells, until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the tartlet pans to a wine rack to cool. When cool, invert and remove the crusts from the pans.
- Combine the strawberries, Grand Marnier, and sugar in a medium bowl, tossing to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes.
- Let the ice cream melt in another medium bowl. Add the sour cream, orange juice, Cognac, brown sugar, orange zest, vanilla, and cinnamon and mix well. Add the strawberries and mix well.
- Place 1 tartlet shell on each of six dessert plates and fill with about 1/2 cup of the strawberry mixture. Drizzle with mint syrup and garnish with the mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
- Mint Syrup:
- Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Pour the syrup into a container and refrigerate until completely cold, about 1 hour.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the mint leaves and blanch for just 2 second. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool in a bowl or ice water. Pat dry.
- Place the cooled syrup and mint leaves in a blender or food processor, and puree. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and set aside until ready to use. (The syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. )
