Mint Dark Chocolate Resident Pheasant

What is vegan chocolate made from?

The cheeky cocoa bean is where the story begins. The cacao is grown on trees, meaning chocolate in its ‘raw form’ is vegan friendly and plant-based. The cacao is grown on trees, meaning chocolate in its ‘raw form’ is vegan friendly and is plant-based. Our cocoa is grown mainly in the Ivory Coast and is then harvested by ethically supported farmers, with thanks to the initiatives from Cocoa Horizons. 

Our Dark chocolate bars are kept to their purest cocoa form, at a minimum of 55% cocoa solids. They aren’t aren’t mixed with milk or dairy products making them completely vegan friendly. We handcraft the chocolate bars and give them attitude with the addition of natural flavours and oils.

Some of our bars such as Dark Chocolate Raspberry is scattered with real fruit, candied pieces, making for a zingy, fruit mouth explosion of yumminess. The other flavours helps to balance the dark chocolate perfectly. Our vegan friendly chocolate bars offer a rich and decadent taste that just melts in the mouth. You’ll be reaching for them time and time again.

But what about Cocoa Butter?

You may be drawn to the phrase ‘butter’ on our chocolates and wonder, is this vegan friendly? In fact, Cocoa Butter is dairy free and it comes straight from the cheeky cocoa bean itself too! How? I hear you cry! The beans are roasted, stripped and then pressed in order to separate out the fat, making them entirely plant-based and vegan.

Vegan Baking?

opt for our Dark 70% cocoa bar for making Vegan Brownies, drizzling on pancakes or even chopping and adding to your breakfast granola!

See below our recipe for dedicant Vegan Chocolate Moose, with attitude.

  • 190g  Resident Pheasant 70% Cocoa Chocolate, chopped to fine pieces
  • 120g vegan double cream (Elmlea) 
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 reduced aquafaba (from 2 cans chickpeas)
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • 3tbsp caster sugar
  1. Take your bars of Resident Pheasant 70% Cocoa Chocolate and chop finely on a chopping board. Place the the finely chopped chocolate in a glass,heatproof bowl. 
  2. Add your cream and vanilla extract in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. 
  3. Stir until almost all of the chocolate has melted then remove the bowl from the heat. Stir until fully melted and has a smooth, glossy look. Set aside to cool. 
  4. Place the aquafaba and cream of tartar in a different bowl and whisk untik it starts to get frothy. 
  5. Add a spoonful of the sugar and whisk until well combined; repeat until you have added all of the sugar. Continue to whisk until it forms stiff peaks. This can take 10 minutes.
  6. Once the chocolate mixture is completley cool, you can add a quarter of your whipped mixture to the chocolate and stir gently. 
  7. Add the rest in quarters, folding it in very gently until it is uniformly combined. 
  8. Divide the mousse evenly in your glasses and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours until set. 
  9. Give it attitude. Just like our chocolates. You can top your moose with which ever topping you like (Bananas, strawberries, blueberries or anything you fancy!) 
  10. For a twist, try using our Mint Dark Chocolate for a post-dinner, dedicant treat.
