To bring a “hot cocoa aspect to a nice dessert,” Ripley turned to Ghirardelli® Dark Chocolate Chip Frappé Mix and Ghirardelli® Midnight Cocoa Powder. “The frappé mix has a great profile to achieve that outcome, and the cocoa powder delivers a dark, rich element that intensifies the dessert, bringing a level of elegance,” he says. Rich layers of chocolate find balance with the chocolate whipped cream. “This is a very chocolatey dessert, but I don’t think it overpowers. It’s indulgent, but doesn’t feel too naughty.”
