Plant-based chocolate inspiration

The easy way to vegan chocolates

There is an increasing demand for plant-based products in practically all kinds of foods – including a plant-based alternative to the well-known and delicious milk chocolate loved by consumers worldwide. The relatively soft consistency, nice meltdown and clean flavour release are defined by the mixture of cocoa butter, cocoa butter equivalent (CBE) and milk fat, and the combined cocoa and milk flavour make the eating experience next to perfect.

Taking out the milk components to create a plant-based alternative is therefore not an easy task and some challenges have to be solved.

Moulded rice chocolate

Traditionally, making plant-based chocolates and replacing the milk components means a need for 2 – 3 % extra fat to make the chocolate flow properly. When you're using lecithin, that is.

By switching to emulsifiers Palsgaard® AMP 4455 and Palsgaard® PGPR 4190 you won't have to.

Try our recipe suggestion for a delicious plant-based moulded chocolate substituting milk powder with rice flour without affecting mouthfeel, taste, colour or costs.
