Taste & texture

Kartoshka, “little potato”, got its name from its shape and cocoa-dusted look. Sponge cake crumbs are mixed with butter cream, condensed milk and cocoa, then rolled and coated in cocoa powder. Dense, fudgy and melt-in-your-mouth, like a cross between a truffle and a brownie.

Perfect for

• Dessert with tea or coffee
• A sweet afternoon treat
• Sharing with family and friends
• Chocolate lovers

Ideas to try
