Tom Aikens' remarkable salted fudge recipe is made with French fleur de sel, 'flower of salt', whose minerals give the salt a grey appearance and beautiful flavour. Sea salt flakes are an acceptable alternative if you can't find fleur de sel and the cocoa dusting is enough to satisfy any chocoholic.
