Cheater Smoked Sweet Salt

The most sophisticated desserts combine a little salty component with the sweet. Try this crystallized yin/yang blend sprinkled on chocolate sauce, caramel, smoky s’mores, or a simple piece of chocolate for a subtle bang of unexpected flavor. A blend of coarse sugar crystals, like Demerara, with kosher salt delivers a chic look and immediate impact.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons coarse sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon bottled smoke

Preparation

  1. COMBINE all the ingredients in a small dish.
