Decadent, dangerous and completely dreamy, these London chocolate cuisines are to die for. A hot chocolate cafe? A chocolate pizza? YES PLEASE!
1. Hot Chocolate, Jaz & Jul’s Chocolate House
[TimeOut]London’s first dedicated hot chocolate cafe has just opened and there are 12 different types of dreamy drinking choc on the menu! Flavours include ‘Orangeytang’ (mulled chocolate orange with cardamom and clove) or ‘Raspberry Dream’ (a classic combination of berries and chocolate with a delicate lavender backdrop). Real chocolate, ethically sourced and handmade in London – Jaz & Juls is absolute heaven for any sweet toothed souls.
[Miscriant]Just when we thought the food at Pizza East couldn’t get any better…we had this dessert. With the standard “oh go on then, as long as you promise to help me with it, i’m so full…” malarky going on, once we got a whiff of this no one was giving us a hand. The richest, thickest, crunchiest and smoothest salted caramel thing anyone has ever tasted, this is an absolute must eat!

3. Nutella Calzone, The Mayfair Pizza Co.
[The Ldn Diaries]Oozing full of Nutella and marshmallows, the Nutella Calzone combines two of our greatest loves – pizza and chocolate. Salty dough and melting chocolate, it’s possibly one of the most wonderfully confusing concoctions ever created. Is it a sweet main? Is it a savoury dessert? WHO CARES is what we say – just get in our belly already! Try the Strawberry, White Chocolate and Basil pizza for a lighter, fruiter experience.

4. Chocolate Éclair, La Pâtisserie Des Rèves
[Paris-Today]Chou pastry, cream, hazelnut streusel and a chocolate shell, this éclair ain’t your typical éclair. At £5.90 it’s not cheap, but with a sweet, nutty, praline cream and thin coat of seriously tasty chocolate it is oh-so worth it…and well and truly lives up to its hosts name ‘Patisserie of Dreams’!

5. Hepburns Brownie, Outsider Tart
[Cakeyboi]Made with peanut butter filled pretzels. That’s all you really need to know.
