Petit Fours

Desserts and Treats

These elegant Petit Fours are bite-sized treats that start with a simple frozen pound cake, transformed into something truly special. Dressed in a smooth vanilla and white chocolate glaze, each delicate square is topped with a sprinkle of Hawaiian Volcano Guava Smoked or Alaea Sea Salt, adding a touch of smoky, salty contrast to the sweet, tender cake. Perfect for parties or special occasions, these beautifully decorated mini cakes are a delightful mix of flavors and textures, offering a gourmet twist on a classic dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 1 frozen pound cake (such as Pepperidge Farm)
  • 6 cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • Hawaiian Volcano Guava Smoked or Alaea Sea Salt

Instructions:

  1. Trim the brown crusts off the pound cake and cut it into 1-inch cubes, or use cookie cutters to create fun shapes like hearts.
  2. Place the cake pieces 1 inch apart on a rack set over a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
  3. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a saucepan. Place a larger glass bowl over the saucepan to create a double boiler.
  4. In the bowl, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add the white chocolate chips and stir with a spatula until completely melted and incorporated.
  6. Spoon the icing over the cake pieces to cover all but one side.
  7. Let the icing dry for 5 minutes, then sprinkle a few flakes of Hawaiian Volcano Guava Smoked or Alaea Sea Salt on top of each petit four.
