Baking Tips

Melt the Finca Montezuma cacao mass and additional fat together au bain marie before adding sugar
For a smoother texture, dissolve the sugar in a liquid ingredient from your recipe, such as cream, milk, or butter, before incorporating it into the mixture.
If your recipe involves melting chocolate with liquid, melt the cacao mass and fat first au bain marie
Use a food thermometer to ensure you don't overheat the cacao mass (keep below 120°F/49°C)
Our pure cacao mass has a uniquely rich flavor profile that adds depth to your recipes
