If you have a sweet tooth, the dessert might be for you the most satisfying part of a meal. And nothing compares to chocolate when you talk about sweets. It once used to be the dessert for Gods after all. Nowadays, we rarely eat chocolate in a pure state. There are many different recipes using this delicious ingredient. Truffles or fudge for example are among the best chocolate desserts in the world.

A good meal should always be ended with a delicious desert. It is the moment when you treat yourself with the best. And if you are a fan of chocolate, there are some recipes you will definitely enjoy. They are easy to prepare, but the results are incredibly good. Besides that, if you master some cooking skills, you can easily impress your guests with a surprise dessert when they come to dinner. Whether it is used in cakes, cookies, mousses, puddings and so on, you can never go wrong with chocolate.

The story of chocolate started some thousands of years ago in Mesoamerica. Back then, cocoa was used to make a bitter beverage that was served during sacred ceremonies or offered to the Gods. Some people still believe that chocolate is the closest way to reach heaven. It was only after the Europeans discovered the existence of these cocoa beans when they started adding milk and sugar to this beverage. After that, the British John Cadbury was the first one to develop a process that emulsified chocolate, turning it into the chocolate bars as we know today.

But for a true chocolate fan, it is never enough to try this dessert only in this state, no matter if you taste different flavored chocolate bars. Chocolate can be used in the finest confectionery recipes in the world. One of the most famous sweet that can incorporate chocolate is the fudge. Originating in the United States, it has become popular all over the world because of the soft texture it has. It may not sound difficult to make this dessert, but if you don’t know exactly how to create the perfect crystals, you risk ending up with a texture that is either too soft or too hard.

Chocolate truffles are also a very refined dessert that everyone appreciates. It is the bittersweet aroma of chocolate that gives it such an interesting taste. The cream inside, called ganache, is usually soft and sweet or sometimes even flavored, while the exterior, which generally consists of cocoa, is quite bitter. This contrast is surprisingly good, and it will immediately make you fall in love with it. Truffles have been first cooked by a French confectioner, but now you can find three main types of this dessert: American, Swiss and European.
