Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tbsp white miso paste
6 oz 70% dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine sugar and water. Heat without stirring until amber.
2. Remove from heat, add butter and cream carefully, whisk until smooth.
3. Let cool slightly, then whisk in miso. Set aside.
4. Melt chocolate and butter together over low heat. Cool slightly.
5. Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until thick and pale.
6. Fold in flour and salt gently.
7. Pour into parchment-lined 9×13 metal pan. Dollop caramel on top and swirl with a knife.

9. Cool for 2 hours before cutting.
10. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
Notes
Don’t overbake. Center should jiggle slightly.
White miso is best—red miso may overpower.
Store in an airtight container at room temp up to 5 days.
