for dessert.
Dessert use of garlic powder is narrow but works — an eighth teaspoon in 200g of dark-chocolate ganache at under 0.2% total weight lifts cacao bitterness without reading garlicky. Its dry form mixes cleanly into powdered sugar or dry cookie mixes. No enzymatic bite means no fighting with sugar. Substitutes here are few because most ingredients that match garlic powder's dry savory note are also aggressive with sugar. Keep doses under 0.3% of total weight.

adjustment for dessert
Fresh garlic at 1 clove per 1/8 teaspoon powder in dessert is roasted-only work — 35 minutes at 400°F converts raw sulfur to sweet paste that integrates with honey at 2:1 ratio. Raw clove fights sugar; powder disperses cleaner in ganache.
