Dark Chocolate Marzipan Cream Filled

Berger Confiserie wraps soft marzipan cream in dark chocolate

The Dark Chocolate Marzipan Cream Filled bar from Berger Confiserie is a bar of Edelbitter dark chocolate with 70 percent cocoa and a pale ganache made with marzipan and almond drink. The bar is vegan, and apart from salt and natural flavouring, all its ingredients come from organic farming.

Dark Chocolate Marzipan Cream Filled is a filled chocolate bar from Berger Confiserie in the Pinzgau region of Austria, weighing 100 grams and part of the house's range for years. Beneath the bitter chocolate waits a cream that is sweet with almond, and the bar breaks into pieces that are made for sharing.

Dark chocolate and marzipan, an old pair

Marzipan under dark chocolate is familiar from the Christmas plate to the pastry shop. At Berger the dark chocolate is called Edelbitter, the filling beneath it is ivory-pale, and every bite brings cocoa and cream together.

The cream smells of almonds and, very quietly underneath, of Bourbon vanilla. This makes the bar a friend to everyone who finds marzipan alone too sweet and dark chocolate alone too austere.

A piece with an afternoon cappuccino

If you bring the bar to friends who cook vegan, it ends up between the cups right after dinner, and everyone helps themselves.

On an autumn afternoon it belongs with a cappuccino made with oat drink, when the lights come on early outside, the scent of coffee still hangs in the kitchen and nobody is thinking of getting up.

If you prefer your dark chocolate pure, you will find the house's dark chocolate bar. The coconut chocolate has a more exotic filling, and many more varieties are waiting for you among our chocolate bars.

Creamy ganache with almond drink

A ganache is traditionally a soft blend of chocolate and cream, the kind found in many pralines. Cream, called Obers in Austria, is therefore part of everyday life in a confectionery, and Berger uses around 15,000 litres of it a year, most recently as organic cream from Pinzgau Milch in the neighbourhood.

The ganache in this bar, by contrast, is made with almond drink and fine marzipan and still stays creamy.

We chose the Bio Edelbitter Marzipancreme gefüllt from the Berger range because it is vegan and tastes distinctly of marzipan. New varieties are developed today by Franz Berger, who spent his holidays mostly in production, and he likes to find inspiration in restaurant desserts.

Vegan marzipan chocolate from the Salzburg region

The Dark Chocolate Marzipan Cream Filled bar from Berger Confiserie is a vegan marzipan chocolate, because both the chocolate and the ganache are made from plant-based ingredients and the house expressly labels it as such.

Marzipan itself consists of ground almonds and sugar and is therefore plant-based by nature. Whether the whole bar is purely plant-based therefore depends on the chocolate around it, milk powder in the case of milk chocolate, and whatever else goes into the filling.

In a marzipan loaf, the mass sits firm and thick beneath the chocolate coating, and you bite into it like confectionery. Here, by contrast, it is part of a soft ganache beneath the bitter Edelbitter.

Anyone looking for vegan marzipan gets both with this variety from the Salzburg region. There is the marzipan itself, and there is a filling that is just as plant-based as the dark chocolate around it.
