Why Summer Desserts?
Olivier, Chocolatier
Desserts, puddings, afters… for many they are the most anticipated part of any meal and it’s not simply because they are the last course. And if you love chocolate, the chances are that you’re partial to a gorgeous dessert too – let’s face it, not many of us can resist either!
That is certainly true of many chocolatiers, who find great inspiration for their own chocolate creations in desserts and often spend long hours researching… Which clearly pays off, because dessert-inspired chocolates regularly score well with Club members. So what better way to sit back and take a moment to celebrate the Great British summer than with a collection of chocolate desserts – bringing together traditional British favourites and absolute classics alike.
