Cocoa Crème
What it is
Cocoa crème is a sweet, spreadable confection made primarily from cocoa powder and sugar, often blended with vegetable oil and emulsifiers. It has a smooth, creamy texture that melts easily. This product is designed to be a convenient way to enjoy chocolate flavor in various applications. Its rich taste comes from the cocoa solids, providing a satisfying chocolate experience without the need for melting solid chocolate.
How people cook with it
This versatile spread can be used in many ways to add a touch of chocolatey goodness to your meals and snacks.
- Spread on toast

- Added to baked goods
Simply spread a layer of cocoa crème onto your favorite bread, toast, or crackers for an instant treat. It can also be dolloped onto oatmeal or yogurt, or used as a filling for pastries and cookies. For a quick dessert, try dipping fresh fruit like strawberries or banana slices into the crème. It's also a handy ingredient for adding a chocolatey swirl to cake batters or brownie mixes before baking, enhancing the overall chocolate flavor of your baked creations.
