Many individuals have the misconception that chocolate is sweet and should only be consumed as a dessert – this couldn't be further from the truth!
Chocolate, in its pure form, contains no sugar, making it the perfect ingredient to change up some old recipes or find new ways to incorporate chocolate into your life.
Legacy Chocolates encourages everyone to try new ways of indulging in chocolate, so we’ve put together a few ideas that use chocolate other than desserts.
After all, chocolate is good for you, so we encourage everyone to enjoy it to the fullest!
Enjoy The Versatility Of Cocoa Nibs
Cocoa nibs are crushed cocoa beans that have a bitter, chocolatey flavor. Sometimes, they are roasted for additional flavors. Cocoa nibs are packed with nutrients and plant compounds that are good for our health.
Because they’re not overtly sweet, you can add cocoa nibs to a variety of dishes, such as:
Roasted vegetables
Salads
Bread
Oatmeal
Grilled prawns
Couscous
Lamb
Poultry
Stuffing
And more!
Check out our roasted squash with chocolate nibs recipe for a fun and unique side dish!
Chocolatey Sauces, Glazes, & Crusts
Chocolate in other forms can also be incorporated into sauces and glazes (such as mole sauce) or as a seasonal change-up ingredient, such as in the dough of a pumpkin ravioli.
You can even top a filet mignon or a piece of fish with chocolate for an extra special dinner!
If chocolate sauce on a piece of meat is a little too out there for you, try using it as a crust on a steak. Chocolate also pairs well with pork roast, so don’t be afraid to try it out!
Wake Up With Chocolate & Coffee
If you are a coffee lover, then there’s no reason to deprive yourself of a little morning chocolate. Coffee is an interesting beverage and has many interesting facts.
But what better way to cut through the bitterness of coffee than to add a little chocolate?
Legacy Chocolates has a few different options that would go perfectly with a morning cup of coffee, like Potion #9 or our chocolate wafers. You can also spice up your coffee to make it even more decadent.
