Cocopotamus at Chef Knock Out Event

By admin

It was a fantastic event at the Albuquerque Chef Knock Out yesterday. The Albuquerque Magazine did a great job organizing it. Cocopotamus Chocolate got our chance to interact directly with chocolate lovers. We made about 1,000 fudge balls in three flavors: Mr. French (gourmet sea salt), Hang Loose (coconut), and Cuppa Joe (triple Italian espresso). They were all gone in about 2 hours.

A number of people were skeptical about trying Mr. French. Salt and chocolate? Together? Are you sure? YES! YES! YES! Quality salt can make the chocolate flavor stands out (use at least a good Kosher salt if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on the expensive variety), make it more complex and rounded. 100% of the skeptics were converted once they took the courage to try. “WOW! I never knew!” was the common response. Next time when you’re preparing chocolate, whether it’s chocolate pudding, chocolate mousse, chocolate cookies, chocolate cake, try adding a little sprinkle of salt and you’ll taste the wonderful difference.
