Last week, I was in charge of dessert at a dinner very special in which I tasted the beef tongue for the first time. The host had ordered a crumble and I wanted to find an original idea. I was looking for an alliance of fruit INNNOVA, but it quickly makes the rounds of possible. So I try to spice up the dessert with a sauce.

And there, I can tell you that I am rather proud of my idea. In a burst of sudden inspiration, I created a Mojito Sauce! Rum, sugar, lime, mint…and… Sparkling Sugar!!! The rendering is perfect, the taste of Mojito's there and it crackles, it's magic! Getting Started in molecular cooking, I am a bit emotional… I bought sparkling sugar (or “popping candy”), some time ago to La Pâtisserie des Rêves by Philippe Conticini but you can also find it on the Internet. And I finally improvised a mango-raspberry crumble to accompany my sauce.
