Everything you need to know about cooking with chocolate
We’ve put together the ultimate cooking with chocolate guide so that you can cook with chocolate, the right way!
Food+DrinkCooking chocolate can add a wonderful twist to both sweet and savoury dishes. In sweet recipes, it brings a rich depth, enhancing cakes and biscuits with its luxurious, velvety touch. Cooking chocolate can be a game-changer for savoury meals, too. It subtly deepens flavours in sauces and stews, offering a hint of complexity that tantalises the taste buds. So if you’re ready to go on a culinary adventure, discover our cooking chocolate collection and discover how you can melt, drizzle, and incorporate this versatile ingredient into exciting recipes.
The key to any good cooking chocolate is a high cacao content — and more cacao, less sugar is our mantra here at Hotel Chocolat. Not only does a high cacao content bring depth of flavour, but it also creates an irresistible melt-in-the-mouth texture that’s sure to elevate your dishes.
Our dark cooking chocolate is the ideal addition to savoury dishes. Choose your cacao percentage — from the elegantly balanced 70% Dark Chocolate Slab Selector to the smokey notes of our Rare & Vintage 100% Dark Chocolate Batons — and see how it imparts layers of flavour and texture.
If you’re in need of something a little more mellow, we have just the thing. Our White Chocolate Batons are made with 36% cocoa butter for a sumptuous texture and delicate vanilla notes. Swirl into ganache, whip into a light and airy mousse, or create the perfect dip for strawberries. Alternatively, let our Caramel Chocolate Batons add a touch of luxury to your cookies and cakes. Here, our signature milk chocolate meets the comforting hint of dulce de leche to create a creamy and moreish flavour profile.
And for more variety, try one of our Baton Libraries. Will it be a Mellow Baton Library or
the High-Cocoa Baton Library? Whichever you choose, incorporate our cooking chocolate into your sweet and savoury dishes.
