This baking chocolate is non-dairy, replacing cocoa beans with passionfruit. Valrhona Passionfruit Inspiration is made with advanced methods, making it not only possible, but easy to use these fruit couvertures exactly like you would any regular baking chocolate. It’s made with natural ingredients, with no preservatives, no additives, and no artificial flavors. It has an intense tangy flavor and a fresh, tropical aroma, exactly as a passionfruit would taste and smell.
The Valrhona Passionfruit Inspiration is a wonderful change of pace from your usual baking chocolate. Use it exactly the same way you would any other chocolate. If you’re a little unsure what to do with it, look for recipes that call for white chocolate—these are the easiest to substitute.
Make some Passionfruit and Tahini Thumbprint Cookies, and add a little pizzaz to your usual cookie repertoire:
The passionfruit is one of the many species of passion flower. Missionaries to Brazil gave it this name in 1700, as an educational tool as they tried to convert indigenous populations to Christianity. It was called “flor das cinco chagas,” which meant “flower of the five wounds,” as reference to the crucifixion of Christ.
Store your chocolate feves in a cool, dark place, ideally between 18 to 24°C. You can use the refrigerator, but place the chocolate in an airtight container to keep the moisture and humidity out—and retain its full range of flavors, of course!
