Ginger Holly
The Ginger Holly plant is toxic, but not if you recreate the shape of the plant and berries in a fantastic dessert as done by Spanish chef Jordi Farres! With ingredients such as ginger, speculaas and Callebaut's Finest Belgian Chocolate recipes N°811 and W2, this dessert is not only perfectly safe but also extremely delicious.
