Get ready to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings this Friday, September 22…it’s National White Chocolate Day.
Known for its creamy texture and subtle flavour, white chocolate is ivory in colour because it lacks several of the chemicals present in milk and dark chocolate.
With a lot less caffeine than normal chocolate because if lacks cocoa liquor – white chocolate was created by Swiss-based Nestlé with the first bar born in 1930.
A chocolate in the mouth is worth two on the plate! Here are four of our fave venues to get your white chocolate on:
Fresh, quality ingredients are the keywords at Crunchy’s All-Day Desserts on Brisbane Street in Jimboomba. Run by a Dutch family, this licensed café specialises in Belgian waffles, poffertjes and crêpes, which are all cooked to order in theatre-stye in the centre of the venue; while a greenery-filled décor, warm hues, ambient lighting and a crazy paving floor provide a stunning background for leisurely dining.
Definitely try fan favourite the Gold Digger – waffle, white chocolate and macadamia salted caramel ice cream, strawberries, banana, mixed berry sauce, melted white chocolate, honeycomb and whipped cream.
Find your happy place for premium gelato and real fruit sorbets on a stick at Happy Pops on Hastings Street in Noosa Heads, Stanley Street Plaza in South Brisbane and Memorial Drive in Eumundi. Chill things down at these dessert destinations, where you can create your own Happy Pop by choosing flavours and toppings in surrounds of gelato pink walls and cabinets full of artisanal creations.
Perhaps choose a premium pop decorated by the in-house Pastry Chef, like vanilla gelato, Nerds, a touch of white chocolate and sour straps, or fruit pavlova with passionfruit, raspberries and white chocolate.
Those seeking a sweet fix head down Boundary Street to discover delicious delights at Let’s Get Baked in Forster. The brainchild of baker Candice Brown, this sweet café and custom cake shop specialises in delivering your dream creation for your next celebration, from weddings to birthdays and anniversaries, along with great coffee, mini macarons and cupcakes.
Take home a deliciously creamy set cheesecake filled with white chocolate, or indulge in white chocolate and raspberry New York stuffed cookies to sweet treat the family for a weeknight dessert.
Melbourne sweet tooths find the dessert shop of their dreams at Nibbles Albert Park on the corner of Elizabeth and La Trobe Streets. Nestled in Melbourne Central shopping centre, take the time to refuel and recharge from retail therapy at this bright and breezy eatery; where frosted tacos are created using premium cream – handcrafted on a cold plate, rolled into ice cream and stuffed into a waffle taco.
Pair a brew of choice, juice or thick shake with a white chocolate and Tim Tam slice, devour a molten chocolate lava cupcake or wrap your hands around a Crunchies salted caramel frosted taco!
