you don't even need 50ml of cream to make ganache with 100g of chocolate though. There's this way of making cake where you beat milk in at the end, which results in a softer sponge: you could try doing that only with the rest of the cream?

or make a shortcrust pastry w/ the butter and flour and then chocolate mousse to fill.

melt some chocolate with a little of your hard alcohol of choice and freeze it.
in the meantime, make a nice rich chocolate pastry with the cocoa powder etc. divide into bun moulds, push the frozen choccubes well down into them and give them 20 mins in the oven.

What is the lowest percentage you can eat that is still dark chocolate? I got a 70% from Whole Foods and it is a bit much for me, but it could be that I'm just not used to it.
― Virginia Plain, Friday, 25 September 2009 14:42 (fourteen years ago) link
it takes a bit of getting used to, alright. found 70% strange at first too, but there are still all manners of blends within that figure in terms of sweetness etc.
bournville is a nice easy compromise, i think.

I love chocolate--way, way too much. So after hearing this story on the news this morning, I bought a big Lindt chocolate bar on the way home, 99% dark, guilt-free.

Ate three squares and threw the rest away. Just horrid.

aw you shouldn't have thrown it away! melt it with some coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla essence and peanut butter - makes a delicious chocolate sauce.

Green & Blacks Ginger - good sized pieces of crystalised ginger, no stringy fibrous bits.

the sea salt one is theirs too, half a dozen bars for £1 each, i had it once ages ago but wouldn't generally buy it, the ginger one is their best
it's alright but because the salt is in large flakes, it isn't distributed evenly so some squares have only the faintest amount while others are like a chocolate version of parmesan

There's Marmite chocolate (which I felt was disappointing, the chocolate not being nearly dark enough and the Marmite not strong enough), so I can believe that there's parmesan chocolate.

cadbury's dairy milk Mystery Bar. milk chocolate with a mystery flavour filling. it's an interesting concept.
currently trying mystery flavour 01. i have no real idea. it's quite pleasant though.
