Cream with dark chocolate

5 servings

60 minutes

Bitter chocolate cream is the embodiment of refined European taste. Its history is rooted in the traditions of the French pastry school, where the combination of tenderness and richness is valued. This cream has a velvety texture that blends the sweetness of a sugar-yolk base with the noble bitterness of dark chocolate. Butter gives it silkiness, while vanilla notes can add warmth to the flavor. It is ideal as a standalone dessert or a sophisticated addition to biscuits, éclairs, and pastries. Chilled, it transforms into an airy mousse, and in a slightly melted state — into a delicate sauce for fruits and ice cream. A wonderful choice for true chocolate connoisseurs!
