This here, it’s about them savory sweet desserts. Now, I ain’t no fancy cook, but I sure do know a thing or two about good food. These new-fangled desserts, they got all sorts of things mixed up. Sweet and salty, like them kettle corn. I used to think desserts were only sweet, you know, like cakes and pies. But nowadays? Well, they’re putting everything in ’em.
I seen it all now. They got bacon in cookies, cheese in cakes, and even vegetables in ice cream. It’s a wild world out there in the food land. I remember back in the day, a dessert was a dessert. It was sweet, and you ate it after supper. But these savory sweet desserts, you can eat ’em anytime. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, whenever you got a hankering. That’s what they say, anyways.
Now, I ain’t tried all of ’em, mind you. Some of them sound a little too strange for my liking. But I did try a piece of that there bacon maple cake. And I gotta say, it weren’t half bad. It was sweet and salty all at once. Kinda like life, I reckon. You got your good times and your bad times, all mixed up together.
These savory sweet desserts, they’re supposed to be good for you, too. Less sugar, they say. Well, sugar ain’t the devil like some folks make it out to be. A little sweetness never hurt nobody. But I suppose too much of anything ain’t good. Even them healthy things, like broccoli. You eat too much broccoli, you’ll be tootin’ all night long!
Here’s a list of some of them fancy desserts I heard about:
- Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies: They say the bacon makes ’em crispy.
- Avocado Ice Cream: Green as grass, that one is. I don’t know if it taste like ice cream.
- Sweet Potato Brownies: They put sweet taters in the brownies!
- Rosemary Olive Oil Cake: That sounds like something you’d put on your salad, not in your cake.
- Black Bean Brownies: I don’t think I can eat this. The color is a little strange.
They say these savory sweet desserts are all the rage now. Everyone’s making ’em. Even them fancy restaurants. They got chefs with tall hats making these things. I saw it on the TV. They make it look so easy. But I bet it ain’t as easy as they make it look.
I remember making those macaroon cookies. They never looked good. And souffles, oh, they always fall down flat as a pancake. It ain’t easy.
I stick to my simple desserts, mostly. A good old apple pie, that’s hard to beat. Or a nice peach cobbler. But I ain’t afraid to try new things. Maybe one of these days I’ll try another one of them savory sweet desserts. Just gotta work up the nerve, I reckon.
These new desserts, they like to mix things up. Sweet and savory, they call it. Like that cheese with the honey. Or that salt on the caramel. It’s like they can’t make up their minds. But I guess that’s what makes ’em special, right? They’re different.
And these savory sweet desserts, they ain’t just for fancy folks, neither. Anyone can make ’em. You just gotta have the right ingredients, and a little bit of know-how. And maybe a little bit of courage, too. ‘Cause some of them combinations, they can be a little bit scary.
But that’s what life’s all about, ain’t it? Trying new things. Stepping outside your comfort zone. Even if it’s just trying a new kind of dessert. You never know, you might just like it. You can eat savory sweet desserts every day.
So next time you’re feeling adventurous, why not give one of these savory sweet desserts a try? You might be surprised at what you discover. And if you don’t like it, well, there’s always that good old apple pie waiting for you. Or them chocolate chip cookies. Those are always a good choice. And you can always just put a little salt on ’em, if you want to be fancy.
It’s kinda like when I make a pie, and I put a little salt in the crust. Just a pinch. It brings out the sweetness, you see. It’s a little trick I learned from my mama. She always said, “A little salt makes everything taste better.” And she was right. You can find a lot of recipes about savory sweet desserts.
So maybe that’s the secret to these savory sweet desserts. Maybe it’s just that little bit of savory that makes the sweet taste even sweeter. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Maybe it’s the sweet that makes the savory taste better. I don’t know. I ain’t no food scientist. I just know what tastes good. And sometimes, the most unexpected things taste the best.
