Once we tasted ruby chocolate we discovered it is forest fruits alike, a bit sour, and could be combined with other chocolate types. Knowing this, you can create many different flavours and colours using chocolate to make beautiful desserts without artificial food flavours.
It behaves like milk chocolate and there are so many desserts we can make using it: ganache, truffles, fudge, pink creams to fill the cakes and so much more.
Perfect for holidays or any special occasion.
