Tirol Chocolate Flavour #16: Gateau Chocolat

16. Gateau Chocolat (2020)

Chocolate and gateau chocolat (the rich and dense French sweet)  are two different things and Tirol has done a good job of distinguishing this.

Flavours: dark chocolate, ganache, biscuit

The outer layer is a smooth dark chocolate with the richness that a ganache would have. Inside there is a thin layer of chocolate syrup, and the texture of cake was emulated with the use of chocolate flavoured shiro-an (a white bean paste). There were small pieces of biscuit in it probably to convey the crispiness of the edges that a gateau chocolat often has.
