Fridge-friendly nougat, malty ice-cream and a hybrid brownie-chocolate bar – your summer bites are sorted
The summer heat requires special treatment of chocolate. Few experts would agree with keeping it in the fridge, but sometimes you have to gently shh them and do what feels right. Heist’s Milk and Honey Nougat is like a choc-covered torrone morbido: a big slab of milk chocolate covering honey-laced pistachio and almond nougat. It’s a disaster in hot weather. But, kept in the fridge … wow. The pre-marked pieces are so big and generous you can’t disobey them, slice your knife into it and then eat the piece within, say, three minutes before the whole lot turns molten in your fingers.
Pump Street has just launched a Walnut Brownie 60% Dark Milk Bar with Haitian beans. It features brownie crumb with English Sharpham Park caramelised, hand-chopped walnuts. It’s rich and deep in flavour.
