Chocolat Stella · 37 g
Dark Chocolate With Stevia Extract
What it is
This is a dark chocolate bar sweetened with stevia extract, a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant. It offers a rich chocolate flavor without the sugar typically found in confectionery. The cocoa solids provide the characteristic depth and slight bitterness of dark chocolate, balanced by the sweetness of the stevia.
How people cook with it
This chocolate can be enjoyed as a simple treat or incorporated into various dessert preparations.
- Snacking
- Baking inclusions

- Flavoring
Enjoy a square or two as a satisfying snack. For baking, it can be chopped and added to cookies, muffins, or brownies, providing pockets of rich chocolate flavor. It can also be melted gently to create a sauce for drizzling over fruits or cakes, or used as a component in mousse or ganache. Its intense flavor means a little goes a long way in recipes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional dark chocolate, this version uses stevia extract for sweetness instead of sugar. This results in a different flavor profile and mouthfeel, as sugar contributes to texture and caramelization during cooking, which stevia does not. The sweetness level may also be perceived differently by individuals.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the chocolate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the wrapper is sealed tightly after opening to prevent it from drying out or absorbing unwanted flavors. Proper storage helps preserve its texture and taste.
