Love is in the air, or rather chocolate is! And lots of it! Whether you're single or in a relationship it doesn't matter, as long as you like chocolate! This year we have two great chocolate recipes for you that are not only good for Valentine's Day but throughout the year as they lend themselves well to seasonal ingredients and adaptations.
Our first recipe is Chocolate Truffles with chilli and orange. They are absolutely delicious, rich and creamy and incredibly intense with the orange and chilli. Making chocolate truffles from scratch ensures that you get exactly the flavour that you like: you can choose the quality and intensity of the chocolate, you can add more or less salt, some extra sugar if need be and additional flavourings which make these chocolate truffles unique. They're very easy to make and take no time at all, so please watch our recipe and have a go yourself!
Our second recipe has proved exceptionally popular with guests. Everybody loves chocolate brownies, but what makes ours so special is the twist of adding beetroot and blackcurrant. Adding special ingredients like these to classic recipes surprises people and their tastebuds. It's that 'wow' factor because it is unexpected and simply delicious. Beetroot and blackcurrant are just our suggestions but you could also add carrot, banana, rasperries, blueberries, orange zest, lemon zest...the culinary possiblities are endless. You have to think of chocolate as a vehicle for flavour, it holds and even intensifies flavours really well and makes for great flavour combinations. Of course you could also just make plain chocolate brownies, just increase the amount of chocolate to 300g and leave out the beetroot and blackcurrant. But we really urge you to try our recipe. Not a single person so far has not loved these brownies. They are that good!
Chocolate is just an amazing ingredient and by itself quite healthy, and just delicious and addictive! We hope that you have a great day of making and baking this Valentine's Day! Thanks for watching!
