Hotel Chocolat - Tipsy Truffles Sleekster White, 295g

Product Information

The adventure starts with our Everything H-Box – a varied selection of our most iconic chocolates. From patisserie-inspired Carrot Cake and Eton Mess to our bestselling tipsy truffles brimming with premium alcohol, there’s something to suit every mood. On the contrary, chocolate is porous. This means that alcohol will immediately evaporate through the chocolate if the two are paired. As such, chocolatiers need to use a fairly intricate process to bring the two together.

Whatever your tastes, explore our collection Browse our range of irresistible liqueur-filled chocolates to find your perfect tipsy treat. And whether you like milk, white, dark, or caramel chocolate, there’s a delectable morsel to impress. Using natural ingredients and a higher percentage of cacao than most chocolatiers, we ensure that every mouthful of our chocolate is brimming with nuanced flavours and has a silky-smooth texture. They use a technique called ‘starch casting.’ This method is over 200 years old historians believe it was an invention from the master chocolatier, Rudolph Sprungli.

When it comes to filling these tipsy treats, just about anything will work – except for bubbles. So put your prosecco, champagne and beer aside. First, chocolatiers cast the alcohol into starch moulds to remove any water in the alcohol. It’s this water content that causes alcohol to evaporate. The result is a formed sugar shell containing the spirit.

To fill this gap in the market, Asbach created delicious liquor-filled chocolates made with brandy. And the trend soon spread throughout Europe. For a beer pairing, opt for a refreshing pale ale to balance out the richness of the chocolate. We can’t help but recommend our very own cacao shell-infused beers. Our Cocoa Beer is just the drink to complement a good milk chocolate. Our smooth, not-too-sweet porter’s robust flavour is a great choice to complement our 50% milk. Both the drink and the chocolate have found the perfect balance between sweetness and depth of flavour. Dark chocolate Champagne: Elegant and uplifting milk chocolate and cream truffles with a generous splash of Mercier Champagne.

Chocolate Liqueurs – and What to Do With Them

For a cold winter’s night, there is also the option of the alcoholic hot chocolate — the perfect fireside companion. For this, we turn to the spirit cupboard. A shot of gin would be a good option to lift the creaminess of a white hot chocolate, and a cherry vodka (as inspired by Polish tradition) adds extra depth to milk or dark hot chocolate.

If you really want to lean into smooth, rich flavours, you can double up with a milk stout — which is a dark beer brewed with milk sugars to give it a creamy flavour. Couple it with our 37% cocoa-butter white chocolate for a decadent pudding. Milk chocolate Whether it’s a romantic gift or a dinner party treat, alcoholic chocolates are a winning combination. They give you all the nuanced flavour of your favourite drink, without having to worry about not being able to drive home!
