1. Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Tart
If there’s a combination that works, it’s dark chocolate and caramel. You’ll find them beautifully combined in this chic pie. The sweet shortcrust cocoa pastry is filled with gooey caramel, and topped with a generous ganache and a pinch of fleur de sel. The texture is just perfect. Slice it and give in to the call of this pie.
2. Chocolate-Coconut Thumbprint Cookies
Coconut lovers, get triple the delight with these sweet little treats! First, the coconut oil in the dough acts on the crumbly texture and flavour of the cookies. Second, coconut also makes an appearance in the milk chocolate-flavoured ganache. Third, grated, sweetened coconut is mixed into the coating. These are bites of absolute happiness with a wonderfully soft centre.
3. Scones with White Chocolate and Grapefruit Spread
Among the lesser-known marriages that are worth the detour, there’s white chocolate and grapefruit. The sweet milkiness of the former blends beautifully with the bitterness and freshness of the latter. And that’s not even considering the crumbly texture of the scones that creates a wonderful contrast with the velvetiness of the spread, which surprisingly includes only two ingredients. This unusual blend of flavours is ideal for breaking your usual breakfast routine.
4. Mint-Chocolate Profiteroles
Mint and chocolate, a match made in heaven, come together in this classic dessert: profiteroles. In this case, the chocolate choux pastry is filled with a delightful mint whipped cream. A warm dark chocolate sauce coats the dessert. It’s too easy to devour more than just one of these tasty little pastries!
