If a savory dessert sounds crazy to you, think about the tradition in some cultures to finish a meal with a salad or cheese course. I just morphed the salad/cheese course into a dessert that really and truly tastes like bowl of frozen tom ka gai soup! Also, many of my clients want to lose their sweet tooth yet still crave dessert, so I wanted to include a dessert for them.
