Salt has an amazing way of bringing the sweetness and flavour of a dish out and this is no exception. If you can resist even contemplating consuming it all by yourself then we should not be friends…
Make this to impress your friends, its devilish, simple and most of all is killer on Vanilla bean ice cream!
