Greek Desserts that Involve Chocolate?

[paharo45]

My family's Greek dishes didn't involve a lot of chocolate. With Valentine's Day coming up, I am loo king for chocolate-based desserts from Greece. My family recipes don't use a lot of chocolate, but I noticed a lot of chocolate in bake shops throughout Greece.

1. Greek Chocolate Chestnut Cake - This cake os gluten-free and it’s made with chestnut. Does anyone have a recipe.

2. Greek Chocolate Souffle- A dessert that will leave you wanting more, this chocolate souffle is made with dark chocolate, sugar, and eggs. The souffle is baked until it's light and fluffy and has a satisfyingly gooey texture.

3. Greek Brownie Cupcakes- If you’re looking for a dessert that’s easy to make but still decadent in flavor, Greek Brownie Cupcakes are a perfect fit. Made with chocolate, eggs, and flour, these cupcakes can be customized with chocolate chips and nuts to add texture and crunch.

4. Ravani - A traditional Greek cake made with semolina flour; Ravani features a moist texture, thanks to the orange syrup that’s poured on top. You can add a chocolate ganache to top it off instead of the syrup.

5. Greek Chocolate Baklava- A Mediterranean twist on the classic baklava, this chocolate version replaces the honey-based syrup with chocolate syrup. With a crispy crust and a chewy interior, this version is sure to be the highlight of your dessert spread.

6. Greek Chocolate Fudge Cake- Chocolate lovers will relish this indulgent dessert made with dark chocolate ganache, cocoa powder, eggs, sugar, and flour. It’s a perfect dessert for special occasions and festive events.

7. Greek Loukoumades with Chocolate- Crispy, fluffy balls of dough made with yeast and honey, served drizzled with chocolate. Dip them in hot chocolate fudge to elevate their rich and gooey texture.

8. Greek Chocolate Tahini-Covered Dates- Perfect for a quick and satisfying snack, these dates are covered in dark chocolate and Tahini. They provide a tasty source of afquick sugar, protein, and fiber.

9. White Chocolate Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta- A creamy, white chocolate alternative to other richer chocolate desserts. You can prepare in advance and serve them with figs or fresh berries on top.

10. Greek Chocolate and Hazelnut Orange Tart- Made with buttery pastry crust, rich cocoa filling, and zesty orange, this dessert is light yet indulgent. It is topped with toasted hazelnut pieces for a satisfying crunch.

We rarely use chocolate in traditional Greek sweets but there is one favorite called "mosaiko" (or kormos) which is very easy to make and which every Greek home always has. Also you could find chocolate on Kok and eclair sweets and one very favorite Greek chocolate sweet especially in the past was Serano Pasta. And don't forget karioka - the ultimate chocolate treat if it is made correctly. Hope that helps

Souffle is not Greek, but what you should do is go to google and search παραδοσιακά ελληνικά γλυκά με σοκολάτα and translate the page to English

Yes mosaiko. It is delicious. There is also a chocolate galaktobouriko. I have to admit that it’s not considered traditional, but it is a thing. Kariokes as well as sokolatina pasta. And no pasta is not spaghetti it’s is a dessert. It’s a rectangle piece of dessert that you find at zaxaroplasteia (sweet shops). Delicious!

I didn't know there was chocolate galaktobouriko. I'll have to check it out. I guess like any cuisine, there are modern-influenced variations on the traditions.
