Fleur de Sel, Fleur Delicious!

You must, must, must rush to the nearest supermarket and try Haagen-Dazs‘ new Reserve flavor. Fleur de Sel Caramel is now my ice cream flavor du jour. The buzz lately has been all about Caramel Sea Salt, so Haagen-Dazs hopped on the band wagon and came up with this silky celebration of sea salt. It’s heaven in a pint! Allow me to whet your taste buds. Imagine this: Caramel ice cream, with ribbons of caramel and chocolate chunks. Yummy right? Then imagine mini and subtle explosions of saltiness in your mouth. Amazing! I’m not a caramel fan but the crisp saltiness of the sea salt neutralizes the sweetness of the caramel. Lami-a gyud!
Since we’re in the topic of Fleur de Sel, I asked Little Twincriquet to bring home Fleur de Sel Caramel Macaroons and other yummy flavors from Laduree or Pierre Herme. She is spending a few days in Paris after meeting her future(?) in-laws.

We must go back to Paris, Lala, if only for the macaroons and my obsession of the hour, Fleur de Sel everything!

i could so imagine how that works.
the flourless chocolate cake in fiamma has a very discreet
sprinkling of salt and it’s my fave dessert there.
