Brigita Baratinskaitė, head of Maxima’s food production department, explained in detail to the media how to make them. According to her, these chocolate pots can become both a great decoration for the Easter table and an exclusive weekend entertainment to try something new.
“Chocolate pots are a great example that there are no limits to discoveries in the kitchen. The secret of this sophisticated dessert is its unique appearance, which makes many people doubt the possibility of eating this dessert. The exceptional filling, which, looking at the chocolate pot, is more reminiscent of the black earth poured into it, makes many people doubt it ”, says B. Baratinskaitė.
However, to prepare a chocolate pot of exceptional taste and appearance, according to a food expert, a few simple tools may suffice and will greatly facilitate the production process. Therefore, it is important to take care of a disposable cup to help shape the pot correctly, and your favorite chocolate, which contains more cocoa butter, which will allow the pot to shine more and help bring out the delicate chocolate flavor.
