3 Decadent Sweet and Salty Desserts to Make with Magnum
Flaky salt on chocolate chip cookies. A drizzle of honey on aged cheese. Thick ribbons of warm salted caramel folded into dark chocolate. If the thought of these makes your mouth water, you already understand the appeal of the salty-sweet flavor profile.
Equal parts comforting and sophisticated, salty-sweet desserts strike the perfect balance between richness and restraint.
Now, we’re showing you how to bring that balance home. All you need? Your favorite Magnum bar and a few well-chosen extras. From a decadent chocolate-caramel fondue to playful sundae cups and crunchy ice cream sandwiches, these sweet-and-salty desserts are designed to impress—with Magnum at the center, delivering indulgence without demanding extra effort.
Why Sweet and Salty Desserts Are So Addictive
Sweet and salty desserts work because they play with contrast. Salt sharpens sweetness, strengthens flavor, and keeps indulgent desserts from feeling heavy. It makes rich chocolate taste more intense and caramel more complex. That push and pull of flavors keeps each bite interesting and entices you to go back for more.
This balance has made salty-sweet desserts a standout trend in gourmet dining and at-home entertaining. Hosts are leaning into layered textures and using salt not just as seasoning, but as a flavor enhancer.
3 Sweet and Salty Desserts to Make with Magnum
Chocolate Caramel Fondue with Magnum Bars
This chocolate caramel fondue is the ultimate interactive dessert: luxurious, effortless, and ma de for sharing. Rich without being overwhelming, it’s carefully balanced with just enough salt to give every bite the perfect amount of indulgence.
To make it, gently melt chopped Magnum Double Chocolate Ice Cream Bars (thick chocolate shell and all) with warm caramel sauce until smooth and glossy. The bar’s dark chocolate coating will deepen the flavor, while its creamy center will lend a subtle silkiness. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt to heighten the sweetness, taste as you go to find that perfect balance. Pour the fondue into a warmed bowl or fondue pot.
Serve immediately with sliced fruit, buttery shortbread, or additional Magnum bars for dipping and swirling.
Chocolate Sea Salt Sundae Cups
Elegant enough for a dinner party, but easy to assemble before serving, these sundae cups prove that sweet-and-salty desserts can be both effortless and refined.
To make these, start with generous chunks of your favorite Magnum Ice Cream bars in small glass cups, finished with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Layer with warm caramel drizzle and lightly crushed roasted nuts for added depth and texture. Consider using MINI Double Caramel for a delicious gooey sauce or MINI Almond for a refined crunch — each one bringing its own signature indulgence.
Magnum Mini Sandwich Bites
Looking for a bite-sized dessert that disappears fast? These mini sandwiches are playful, tactile, and irresistibly moreish.
Slice Magnum Milk Chocolate Ice Cream Bar into small squares. Spread a small dollop of nut butter (peanut or almond would be great) on two salted crackers. Then, sandwich the ice cream between the crackers, pressing gently. Freeze briefly to set, then serve cold. They're perfect for grazing tables, dessert boards, or solo weeknight treats.
FAQs
