Swoasty Recipes

The swoasty trend gives sweetness a toasted or caramelised twist: think toasted marshmallow, torched meringue or moreish blonde chocolate. Many creamy desserts benefit from the subtle bitterness a burnished top brings, such as burnt Basque cheesecake, crème brûlée, and pastéis de nata (Portuguese custard tarts). Brown butter – melted until the milk solids become nutty amber nuggets – is an easy way to add swoasty flair; try it in a malted chocolate marble cake.
