Chocolate Salt

[jvalentino]

Hi All,

I'd like to make some chocolate salt and here's what I did-

4-5 parts kosher salt

1 part sugar

1 part cocoa powder (I only had unsweetened)

sprinke water

Mix all dry ingrdients together and sprinke w/ very little water to moisten. Mix til crumbly.

It is in a low oven right now to dry. The other thing I was thinking was maybe to spritz w/ oil (I'm trying to get everything to stick to the salt)

Any other ideas on how to create this?

Thanks,

Jeff

The only thing I can think of, is to try to make a simple syrup, perhaps with cocoa in it to flavor, and then strain it. Or maybe a chocolate liqueur instead of the cocoa. Or maybe just a chocolate liqueur on its own, if that flavor will work. Then try mixing it into the salt.

This is an intriguing idea. How to you plan to use it?

I made it that way with a splash of chocolate liquor and some Maury mas amiel.

I then put the slurry in a metal dish on top of the kitchen boiler for a month.

Then ground it in a coffee blender.

Served a sprinkle on top of a quenelle of Idea's in Food white chocolate & Greek Yoghurt Ice cream. The salt brought the sweetness of the ice cream down.

I saw this blogpost- http://saltandchocolategirl.blogspot.com/ and being a flavored salt fan decided to try and make some.

Other than lots of sweet salty combos the 2 other things that popped in my head were- topped on guacamole (probably because of mole sauce) and on top of a piece of buttered baguette.
