Pyramid Salt Recipes
Makes 12 brownies!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted almond butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp Sassi Salts Natural Pyramid Salt Flakes
- 1 tsp baking soda
Caramel
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tsp Sassi Salts Natural Pyramid Salt Flakes
Method:
- Make caramel by bringing the coconut milk and coconut sugar to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium low, stirring occasionally, continue to simmer for about 30 minutes, or until mixture becomes thick and syrupy.
- Remove from heat and vigorously stir in vanilla and coconut oil.
- Transfer to glass jar or container and put in freezer for about an hour, or until mixture thickens.
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Mix together almond butter, eggs and vanilla extract and set aside.
- Mix together cocoa powder, coconut sugar, Sassi Salts Natural Salt Flakes, baking soda and then add to wet, stirring until well incorporated. (You may have to use your hands for this – it gets quite thick, more like a sugar cookie dough than traditional brownie dough.)
- Press the mixture fully into the bottom of a lined 8″ x 8″ pan, then remove caramel from freezer and spread a thick layer over the brownie batter, stopping about 1″ from each of the edges.
- Lift one half of the brownie batter and fold it in half, (so you’re essentially sandwiching the caramel between the two brownie halves). Press edges shut. The brownie will now take up only half the pan – it will spread out as it bakes.
- Sprinkle the Sassi Salts Natural Pyramid Salt Flakes evenly over the top, then pop into the oven for 35 minutes.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel over top after removing from the oven, or do it as you serve, topping individual brownies. If you store brownies after drizzling the caramel, it hardens slightly into a lovely, gooey, caramel-ly topping.

makes 4 serves!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoon)
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 cups raw Arborio rice
- 7 cups chicken (or vegetable) broth
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 300gm baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- ½ tsp fresh thyme leaves
- ½ cups fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 ½ tsp Sassi Salts Mushroom Pyramid Salt Flakes
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Method:
- Heat a medium stockpot over medium heat and add olive oil and 1 tbsp butter.
- Add onion and 1 tsp garlic and cook until soft and translucent.
- Add rice and stir to coat the rice thoroughly with the oil and butter.
- Add 1 cup of broth, simmering and stirring constantly until absorbed. When rice absorbs the liquid, stir in additional broth 1 cup at a time. The broth should simmer gently. If it boils too hard or the rice is sticking to the pan, reduce the heat slightly. Continue stirring and adding broth in 1-cup increments until all the broth is used. The rice is done when it is soft and creamy, and no longer has a hard bite.
- In a separate little skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium high heat. Add the remaining garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes
- Add sliced mushrooms and saute for a further 5-10 minutes until they’re browned
- Remove from heat, stir in the spinach until wilted, and transfer to the risotto pan
- Add Parmesan cheese and stir until cheese is melted and risotto is creamy.
- Stir in fresh basil and thyme leaves until wilted.
- Season with Sassi Salts Mushroom Pyramid Salt Flakes and cracked pepper to taste!
