dark chocolate delice

In my opinion, if you opt for dark chocolate, you can make this chocolate delice really sophisticated.

I consider dark chocolate being any chocolate that contains above 70%. In fact, dark chocolate is alko known as plain chocolate. Generally speaking, dark chocolate is made with higher amounts of cocoa, with more fat sourced from the cocoa butter, not the milk.

Naturally, the higher the percentage of the dark chocolate, the more bitter and acidic it tastes. Most of the times, people refrain to eating dark chocolate on its own because it's not as sweet. However, enjoying a piece of dark chocolate every now and again is beneficial for the liver, according to Chinese traditional medicine.

Nevertheless, cooking with dark chocolate can produce extraordinary results, such as this chocolate delice.

Tip: The darker chocolate you use, the more intense and rich the cake will be. I recommend using 70 - 85% dark chocolate. For those who enjoy bold flavours, go for 90% and above.

salted chocolate delice

Adding salt to desserts is fairly popular because it generally enhances the flavours. For instance, it's no surprise to find salt with desserts which contain caramel. These salted caramel cupcakes are evidence to this!

Same can be said about salt and chocolate. Oftentimes in fancy restaurants, you can find chocolate mousse being served with a few sprinkles of sea salt. The sea salt completely brings out the intensity of the chocolate.

Therefore, you can also add a little of salt into the chocolate delice and let the salt work its magic on the flavours.

chocolate delice calories

Oh boy, don't even think about this. As you know, this is a rich chocolate dessert that's quite sinful. If you would like to save on some calories, then don't pair this chocolate delice with a side dessert.

Otherwise, I recommend using low-calorie sweeteners or alternatives to sugar. Also, I enjoy using coconut sugar instead of ordinary sugar.

what to serve a chocolate dessert with?

There are plenty of combinations that work well with a slice of homemade chocolate delice. For instance, you can consider serving it with the following ingredients, depending on if you want to make a light or intense dessert.

To intensify the flavours of this chocolate delice, consider the following combinations:

• dark chocolate shavings - best if you use chocolate 85% and above.
• dark chocolate squares - again, best if you use a premium extra dark chocolate (85% or above)
• raw cacao nibs - you know what they say, this is the healthiest form of cacao.
• sea salt - top your chocolate delice with sea salt as it brings out the flavour of chocolate
• pour over some chocolate fudge sauce - you can never go wrong with that
• almond flakes, cashews, pecans or nuts in general work very well

In order to create a lighter version, go for these combinations:

• fresh berries: at best strawberries, raspberries or other types of forest fruit will lighten up the chocolate delice
• strawberry curd is an excellent idea for a topping
• candied oranges or orange zest will add that fruity flavour
• pineapple ice cream - the acidity of this ice cream will cut through the intense flavours of the chocolate
• peppermint ice cream - similarly, the peppermint ice cream will have a refreshing effect on the chocolate delice

Otherwise, feel free to decorate your chocolate delice as you wish. For example, you can use cake decorations and sprinkle edible decorations on top.
