Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Coconut Theme Week, and Day #1 of Chocolate and Coffee Theme Week.
Today's Cappuccino Coconut Milk 55% (bar) was from Stone Grindz Chocolate (Scottsdale, AZ).
This coconut milk chocolate was made using cacao from Peru, and was "ground with Blue Bottle Espresso."
Aroma notes included: coffee candy, caffe latte/cappuccino with spice (vanilla, cinnamon and caramel) and chocolate (dark coconut milk ganache, very faint earth and red berry).
The 55% chocolate had a seductive creamy melt and smooth texture. You'll be forgiven if you think this bar contained dairy milk or cream. This well-executed, award-winning, dairy-free bar fooled me.
Flavor notes included: dark chocolate and sweet and flavorful coffee with cappuccino and light caramel notes. It was sweet (and addictive); but the sugar was well-balanced with the flavorful espresso coffee and chocolate--and well-integrated with the harmonious and nuanced rich mocha fiesta this bar conjured.
Maker's tasting notes: "Notes of espresso, caramel macchiato, chocolate frosting"
Ingredients: Cacao*, cacao butter*, cane sugar*, coconut*, coffee, vanilla bean*, sea salt. (*Organically farmed)
