Baking with Cadbury: 5 Creative Dessert Ideas Using Dairy Milk and Bournville

What makes us relate chocolate to creativity? With its innate ability to invoke the senses of comfort, happiness, and satisfaction, chocolate is an ideal go-to ‘feel good’ element. With its luscious texture, sophisticated appearance, and sweet taste, chocolate is ideal for exploring the creative world of baking with Cadbury, as it infuses creativity in desserts like nothing else.

Although a foreign indulgence, chocolate has carved out its own niche in the landscape of dessert-making in India over the decades. With its diverse flavors and textures, chocolate can effortlessly make itself an integral part of baking with Cadbury.

From ganache sandwich cookies and cake pops to edible chocolate mouse cups, chocolate has now become the most-loved fusion element, which infuses the taste and flavor of unmatched comfort on every bite. To further explore baking with Cadbury, let’s begin with five creative desserts that speak of chocolate’s evolving presence in the realm of confectionery.

1. Chocolate-Raspberry Icebox Cake

Sometimes, laziness is key to ending up with creative outcomes. This common belief applies to baking as well. This recipe for baking with Cadbury is ideal for those who want to serve guests a scrumptious cake but without taking the toil of baking for hours. This dreamy, creamy, simple-to-make Chocolate-Raspberry Icebox Cake is a no-bake dessert wonder.

You need to gather freshly baked and crushed chocolate chip cookies for that crunchy crumble layer, fresh raspberries for the core flavor, layers of tart raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream for the filling to turn it into an unforgettable assembly of sweet and sour, tarty, and chocolatey symphony of flavors that melts in your mouth. Once the entire dessert is assembled and refrigerated well, you may consider topping it with a generous dollop of whipped cream to add to its decadence.

2. Chocolate Ganache Sandwich Cookies

While we often opt for regular chocolate chip cookies, this recipe is for those who enjoy the chocolatey goodness of rich ganache layered between two crunchy, buttery chocolate cookies. The creamy milk chocolate ganache is made with butter, chocolate, and heavy cream.

Once the ganache is ready, all you need to do is place them between two crunchy cookies and put it in the refrigerator for an hour or two to allow them to firm up.

Before serving, don’t forget to have fun decorating them with dark chocolate. You may also consider dipping them into the melted chocolate to further enhance the flavor profile.

3. Cake Pops: A Blast of Colors and Flavors

You remember the lollipops from our childhood days? And do you love cakes? Yes? Now imagine what if the cakes are turned into smooth, round balls, dipped into a chocolate coating, and placed on sticks. Yes, that’s cake pops for you. Be it the bakeries or cafes, these days, colorful cake pops are a very common sight.

These scrumptious bite-sized balls with cake as their center and a chocolaty exterior are made from crumbled cake combined with frosting, rolled into balls, and then dipped in a chocolate or candy coating. The lolly-shaped wonders are often decorated with sprinkles.

To make simple vanilla cake pops at home, you can use your favorite vanilla or white cake recipe. Or, even simpler, you can use a boxed cake mix. Once the cake is made, crumble it into fine pieces and combine them well with a frosting of your choice. Then, take handfuls of the mixture and shape them into balls.

The balls, once firm and smooth in texture, are dipped in melted chocolate to form the outer coating. When the chocolate coating settles well, the finished cake balls are placed on sticks to achieve that classic lollipop appearance and are garnished either with sprinkles or colored drizzles.

4. Edible Chocolate Mousse Dessert Cups

Don’t we all love how creamy mousse melts right in your mouth? Now imagine if the mousse cup is edible as well. Doesn’t that sound amazing? These edible Chocolate Moose Cups are super light, airy, and creamy in texture. The luscious texture comes from whipped cream, which makes it a classic dessert ideal for any occasion.

To make the edible cups, start by melting the chocolate. Use plastic or silicone cup liners and place them on a muffin tray. Brush a layer of melted chocolate and allow it to chill for a few hours. Once done, remove the cup liners from the edible chocolate cups and fill them with creamy chocolate mousse.

This is also a great make-ahead option that you can prepare and keep in the fridge. To get the optimum quality and texture, it is mandatory to use a high-quality chocolate for this recipe. For garnishing, you can opt for fresh fruits or chocolate shards along with some icing sugar.
