Chocolate and strawberry are one of the most loved pairings. I love to pair dark chocolate and tangy strawberries as a baker.

Today, I bring you a unique and elegant chocolate bar flavoured with fresh strawberries.

The bars have a biscuit base made with oats flour and hazelnut flour. It has a unique flavour of Nutella combined with coconut oil. The base is then layered with strawberry-flavoured dark chocolate ganache.

Sounds tempting, no?

Taste and Texture of the Recipe

The base of the chocolate bar is crumbly due to the multiple types of flour used. Since it has all-purpose flour, oats flour and hazelnut flour, it makes for less gluten level and a more crumbly biscuit. Along with nutty flavour, it contains Nutella and coconut oil, enhancing the overall tasting experience.

The ganache is silky and smooth, made using dark couverture chocolate and fresh cream in a 2:1 ratio and has fresh strawberries for the flavour.

Chocolate Strawberry Bar Key Ingredients

Oats flour– oats flour is a gluten-free flour. It adds a crumbly texture to the base and a unique flavour as well.

Hazelnut flour-this one is again a gluten-free flour. Using these flours helps in reducing the overall gluten level in the dough. When the gluten level is low, the gluten network (which is responsible for chewy texture) is down. Hence this makes the baseless chewy and crumbly.

Coconut oil-unlike regular fat butter, I have used coconut oil in this recipe. This oil will help add coconut flavour and the fat needed for it to be crumbly. Also, it makes for a vegan option.

Nutella and cocoa powder-adding chocolate and hazelnut flavour in the best form is by using Nutella and natural cocoa powder.

Fresh strawberries – what better way to add strawberry flavour than using fresh strawberries?! Skipping the strawberry essence, it’s best to incorporate fresh strawberries whenever in season.
