Brought to you by the Chefs at the Chocolate Academy South Africa

These six chef-style chocolate recipes will challenge both your baking and chocolate skills in the kitchen. You’ll notice that all the ingredients are measured out with precision, a sure skill that will take any home-baked good to the next level.

1. Three-ingredient truffles

Starting off with a simple yet delicious recipe, these three-ingredient truffles couldn’t be easier to make! They’re smooth little chocolate flavour bombs loaded with 811 Callebaut Milk Chocolate, perfect for just about any occasion.

2. Double chocolate brownies

Nothing beats a sinfully delicious chocolate brownie, especially one loaded with a lush amount of melted 811 Callebaut Dark Chocolate and a generous sprinkle of Callebaut W2 White Chocolate chunks. They are fudgy with sweet pops from the white chocolate and they just melt in your mouth!

3. Choc-chip sandwich cookies

Take the humble chocolate chip cookie to all-new decadent heights with these chocolate-chip sandwich cookies. Filled with a smooth 823 Callebaut Milk Chocolate mousse, these cookies go from a moreish snack to a fully loaded dessert all in one satisfying bite!

4. Dark chocolate fondant

With a wonderfully melty oozy centre, this dark chocolate fondant is an absolute must-make! A simple assortment of ingredients, including a generous amount of Callebaut 70% Chocolate, and all executed in a superbly cheffy way makes for a pudding you and your guests won’t soon forget. But be sure not to overbake it as the melty middle is a real game-changer where pudding is concerned.

5. Passion fruit caramel bar

If you’ve never made your own chocolate bar, this is a sign to order some cute artsy chocolate bar moulds and get crafting. But in the cheffy theme of things, not just any chocolate bar will do! This passion fruit caramel bar combines acidity from the passion fruit and sweetness from the caramel with creaminess from the 823 Callebaut Milk Chocolate in such a harmonious and moreish way.

6. Chocolate fudge cake

Lastly, challenge yourself to a show-stopping chocolate fudge cake! This is a bit of a technical bake with lots of elements, but they all come together to create a decadent death-by-chocolate-style fudge cake. From the 811 Callebaut Dark Chocolate sponge to the light and airy Callebaut Power 811 Milk Chocolate mousse, this chocolate fudge cake is the ultimate decadent bake to enjoy.
