As a culinary student, I am often asked to come up with concepts for potential dishes or desserts and then put them into production. For my advanced contemporary pastry class, I had to dream up a dessert utilizing methods that we had learned in class. Being a bacon lover, I attempt to incorporate it into as many dishes as possible which resulted in this:
Chocolate sponge cake with caramel mousse topped with bacon crumbles and a caramel drizzle. This may sound like a very odd combination, but it has a similar flavor to chocolate covered caramels sprinkled with sea salt with an additional smoky depth added by the bacon crumbles and the salty/sweet combination worked out well thank goodness.
