Olive Oil and Salt Dessert

So I have another vice.

While driving home from Omaha, I was listening to The Splendid Table, and a guest recommended putting sea salt on desserts. One particular image she conjured up was of a chocolate torte with sea salt sprinkled over it. Yum!

She even recommended using olive oil in chocolate cake and drizzling it on vanilla ice cream. (I wasn't so sure about olive oil on ice cream.)

So what did I do?

I made homemade vanilla bean ice cream. Then I made a chocolate cake with olive oil. Then I put them together, drizzled more olive oil over the top, sprinkled it with sea salt, and ate.

End result?

Well...I better start working out more. It was fabulous!
