If you haven’t yet tried pairing the umami saltiness of miso paste with chocolate, you’re in for a treat. The fermented bean often used in Asian cooking adds a flavour to cacao or dark chocolate that creates an almost salted caramel – like flavour. Coupled with the fact that miso is of course entirely more healthy than salted caramel, it’s a win-win combination. This recipe utilises plenty of superfoods to create a delicious yet very healthy dessert, breakfast or afternoon treat. Whip this up whilst the heatwave is still here in the UK and only cooling foods seem like a good idea….
