Pineapple & Yuzu Chocolate Selector<Hotel Chocolat Hot

A satisfying harmony of bold citrus tang and naturally sweet pineapple in layers of creamy ganache. Served in a dark chocolate cup.

Transport your senses to vibrant and exotic destinations with this distinctive fruit pairing. Pineapple: fresh, juicy and naturally sweet. Yuzu: bold, tangy and bursting with citrus flavour. Both whipped into layers of exuberantly fruity ganache, then balanced with smooth 70% dark chocolate. Bite into your Pineapple & Yuzu Chocolate Selector to reveal a duo of super-silky ganache layers. Real yuzu purée brings a zesty citrus zing, while pineapple ganache soothes and sweetens. A crowning layer of pineapple-white chocolate ensures delicate pineapple holds its own against the sharpness of the yuzu.

If you’ve never tasted yuzu chocolate before, here’s an idea of what you can expect: Originating from China and popular in Japan, yuzu is a fresh, fragrant fruit from the citrus family. A little bigger than a mandarin, and similar in appearance to lemon, the juicy inner fruit take cues from both – with bass notes of orange cut with sharp lemon zest. To balance out the fresh, fruity tang, we served all three layers in a 70% dark chocolate cup. Savour the crisp ‘crack’ as the solid edges give way before flooding your tongue in a satisfying high-cacao melt.

With such bold flavours, we knew this Pineapple & Yuzu chocolate recipe needed an equally bold design. Striking yellow and orange tones give the pineapple-chocolate crown a vibrant hue, while the melting shape of the dark chocolate cup forms an eye-catching presentation, inspired by the surreal work of Salvador DalÍ. With six chocolates, this Selector makes a thoughtful gift for a fruit-loving friend, a token of appreciation for anyone who enjoys recipes outside of the ordinary, or something to simply enjoy to yourself for an exuberantly fruity moment of self-care.
