The crunchy coating for these dark chocolate truffles is made from finely chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans. If you can't find them, roll the truffles in cocoa powder instead.
Cocoa powder gives this soft, fudgy cake deep colour and intense flavour. The cake may sink slightly in the centre. If this happens, just turn it over before garnishing with strawberries and chocolate syrup.
Yes, these really are the best brownies ever! For a fancy plated dessert, cut cooled brownies with a round cutter, dust with icing sugar or cocoa powder, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
The decadent flavour of this honey-infused pecan pie filling is made even more addictive when topped with chunks of dark chocolate. We've added cocoa powder to the crust for a sinful double dose of chocolate.
These baked (not fried!) treats are best enjoyed warm out of the oven. We've lightly coated them in cinnamon sugar, but if you've got a chocolate craving, substitute 2 tsp of cocoa powder for the cinnamon.
Ideal for a fun dinner with friends or a cozy night at home, this fudgy cake is best served straight out of the slow cooker while still warm. For an extra treat, dust cocoa powder over top of the spiced whipped cream. Cost: $0.50/serving
Cocoa powder might seem like an unusual ingredient to add to a savoury stew, but it adds an extra hit of toasty richness and colour, but without any of the sweetness you might associate with dessert. It’ll be your new favourite secret ingredient!
Cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate combine in this smooth, creamy ice cream for a rich, decadent chocolate taste. This is great on its own or to use as a base for our other creative ice creams. Just add the other flavourings before the final freezing of four hours.
