Citrus-infused Salted Caramel Delight: A Decadent Twist on Dessert

Description

A unique dessert variation that combines the indulgence of salted caramel with the freshness of citrus. This dessert starts with a buttery shortbread crust, filled with a creamy salted caramel mousse. The mousse is infused with hints of citrus zest and topped with a caramelized orange slice for a bold burst of flavor. The dessert is served with a dollop of tangy lemon curd and a sprinkle of sea salt for added complexity. Sinfully decadent and refreshingly bright, this dessert is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Tips

If you don't have citrus zest on hand, you can substitute it with lemon or orange extract for a similar burst of flavor. Additionally, if you're not a fan of sea salt, you can replace it with a pinch of fleur de sel or even omit it altogether for a sweeter taste. Lastly, for a nuttier twist, you can swap out the shortbread crust for a crust made with crushed almonds or pecans. These ingredient substitutions can give your dessert a unique twist while still maintaining its deliciousness.
