Sake and Truffles


At Stick With Me Sweets, a tiny storefront in NYC’s Nolita neighborhood, Susanna Yoon, former Per Se chocolatier, marries chocolate and alcohol to exceptional effect. The bonbons are the most eye-catching, their vibrantly colored, hand-painted domes hiding a constantly rotating cast of flavors, like matcha green tea and bourbon maple pecan; the truffles, based on Valrhona ganache and dusted in bitter cocoa, are less sweet but just as compelling, available in soju, sake or Champagne versions.

While enrolled in New York University’s Food Studies program, she learned the secrets of affinage in the caves of Murray’s Cheese.
