PARIS, March 28 — A fourth chocolate — “blond” — has been slowly making inroads into French confectionary, but has failed to win official recognition and faces...

A photograph taken in Paris on March 1, 2024, shows a pure fondant dessert with 'blond' chocolate, oven-roasted apples and a Tahitian vanilla cream prepared by French pastry chef and creative director of Valrhona chocolaterie Frederic Bau at Valrhona chocolatier.

Bau immediately smelled the commercial potential of this happy blunder, but it took seven years of testing to perfect its unique aromatic qualities and consistency.The recipe remains a secret but has been officially registered by Valrhona, and is sold under the name Dulcey since 2012. To taste, blond chocolate has the milky fattiness of white chocolate but is much less sweet, with a soft caramel flavour and an aftertaste of roasted coffee.

Bau combines it as a pure fondant dessert with freshly roasted apples and a Tahitian vanilla cream, and he also recommends “breaking it up” with more distinct fruity combinations, such as citrus or red fruit.
