Coconut Caramel Budino

Garnished with grilled mangoes and Morton® Kosher Salt caramel sauce.

Morton® Fine Sea Salt easily blends into the cream and coconut mixture used in the budino. Using a fine sea salt allows for accuracy and precision, which is important to balance the flavors in the dish nicely.

The flaky, flat texture of Morton® Kosher Salt enhances the sweet flavor in the caramel sauce.

Seasoning and finishing the dessert with Morton® Coarse Sea Salt adds a burst of flavor to the fruit in the dish.
