Chocolate Desserts Challenge – Rich, Dark and Irresistible

Chocolate desserts are loved worldwide, but chocolate itself comes from cacao beans, mostly grown today in West Africa, especially Ivory Coast and Ghana. Bakers and pastry chefs have turned it into cakes, mousses, puddings and candies.

Some chocolate desserts have famous stories. Vienna's Sachertorte led to a court case between Hotel Sacher and the Demel bakery, Germany's Black Forest cake combines chocolate, cherries and kirsch and Chicago's Palmer House is credited with the first brownie.

Other favorites include airy French chocolate mousse, molten lava cake, ganache-covered tortes and Brazil's brigadeiros. Swiss chocolate fondue became popular in the 1960s. Chocolate desserts remain a symbol of indulgence and celebration.
