I've been playing with truffle variations using the Tartine recipes as the base. This is one of my favorites. The caramel cuts through the chocolate for a salt and fennel pollen kick at the end. —ginnygetsfloury

  • Fennel Pollen Salted Caramel
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. Fennel Pollen Salted Caramel
  2. In a sauce pan, heat the sugar over medium until it begins to caramelize stirring occasionally.
  3. When the sugar becomes caramel colored and is all dissolved, slowly pour in the cream. Be careful because it will boil and sometimes splatter. Continue stirring until it has been fully incorporated. If the caramel seizes up a little, continue to stir over the heat until it is liquid again.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, salt and fennel pollen.

Should I use 1/2 cup or 1/2 pound of chocolate? I love anything to do with fennel pollen!
