The next day, we tried the original hot chocolate mix (Rs 365), this time, adding a little sugar. The original too is high on cacao. All their mixes contain about 65-76 per cent of it. While mint remains our favourite, the mocha one (Rs 380) also impressed the palate with its blend of coffee and dark chocolate. While those used to their sugar will find it a tad bitter, they can easily add on some to taste. Next, on a hot summer afternoon agenda was the spiced chocolate mix in cold milk. The punch of nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove gave the cold shake some flavour change.

Amit Madnani, director and co-founder of Artisanté, later told us, “Our chocolates are rich, decadent, have natural flavours, and are low in sugar. We also have a special range of mochas. We use a high-quality blend of West African and Indian cocoa and have made a conscious effort to keep the sugar levels low to give our customers a rich cocoa-forward experience. Cocoa does have an intrinsic bitterness, but it needs to be balanced with a rich medley of flavonoids and this is the hallmark of good quality hot chocolate.” For those who like it sweet, he suggests adding organic demerara or jaggery powder.

We liked that their website has curated recipes for smoothies, cookies, cakes, brownies and milkshakes. When faced with a midnight craving situation, we mix a spoonful into yogurt and give it a good stir. In goes some crushed Lotus Biscoff and we have a dessert within minutes.
