Deep Dark Chocolate: Decadent Recipes for the Serious Chocolate Lover

The perfect primer to all things dark chocolate, plus an array of indulgent recipes to satisfy all your dark chocolate cravings.

Deep Dark Chocolate is overflowing with irresistible recipes using bittersweet and semisweet chocolate, cacao nibs, and beans—the darker the better. These sinfully decadent desserts include such indulgences as Black Magic Chocolate Espresso Cookies and Crunchy Nut Bittersweet Caramel Bars, and that is just the beginning. . . .

Author Sara Perry tells you everything you need to know about the types of dark chocolate in the marketplace, what the percentages mean, and which ones are best to cook with. And each recipe showcases dark chocolate at its very best. Papa Haydn’s Chocolate Gateau will make your loved one feel extra special. The deceptively simple A Little Chocolate Cheesecake with Mocha Affogato will turn your dinner part into something spectacular. Dark chocolate is always the star here whether it is making an appearance in cookies, cakes, custards, pies, drinks, or sauces.

So, start your day with a Chocolate Dream Scone with Mascarpone Spread or end it with a Clean-Chic Chocolate Martini nightcap—every day is brighter when you include a bit of dark chocolate. And with Deep Dark Chocolate, you’ll always keep your bittersweet-tooth satisfied.

“A winning take on everyone’s favorite sweet. . . . While there are already more than enough cookbooks devoted to the topic, the approachability and breadth of Perry’s sweet, inventive collection make it worth the indulgence.” —Publishers Weekly
