Espresso White Chocolate Dessert

This Espresso White Chocolate Dessert will convince you! It is a very extraordinary German dessert that comes with an espresso sauce which adds a special touch to it.
The recipe is asking for couverture which is used a lot in the German cuisine. So we checked out for you what exactly couverture is. It is a special chocolate for baking. In the USA there is a brand (Callebaut) which  is a good alternative to the German couverture.

Each of Callebaut’s Finest Belgian White Chocolates is made with 100% pure cocoa butter, a selection of premium milk powders, fine sugar and a touch of pure Bourbon vanilla.
Callebaut  as a chocolate maker roasts the cocoa beans itself. Furthermore, the beans are roasted in their entire shell, to protect them and keep in all the aromas. What an intense cocoa experience!
Happy Cooking!
