Combining dark and milk chocolates can help chefs to create the perfect balance of flavour. In this case, Cacao Barry Alunga™ Milk Chocolate, with its slight sweetness and milky notes, is a lovely foil for the powerful cocoa flavour of Extra-Bitter Guayaquil 64%. Next, look to texture to create a complete experience. Here, the sablee adds crunch, the flourless sponge is dense and rich, and the whipped Alunga Cream contributes a delicate airiness.
