So, if you were out of the loop, tomorrow (Saturday 7th July) is World Chocolate Day and yes, Menulog is bringing the goods, bless their little hearts. Cue the Pavlov’s Dog reaction with maximum salivation, especially if you’re one of the lucky individuals without an intolerance to dairy. Regardless of your intestinal woes (I feel you, pals) you can get all your cravings catered for, no matter how weird or wonderful the desserts are. So, here’s a small fraction (there are 2000 options, guys) of what’s being flung our way.
Weird and Wacky Desserts
QLD
Chocolate Nachos, Cioccolato Dessert Restaurant
Everyone loves nachos.. now we get to eat a chocolate version? This bad boy has the crunch you crave, and comes topped with whipped cream. Simply inspired, give us 20.
NSW
Afous Chocolate Pate, Afous Moroccan and Spanish Tapas
Sounds bougie because it is, you’re welcome.
Momo Chocolate, Little Momo
Okay so we love dumplings right (if you don’t, that’s just weird)? Little Momo does dumplings filled with chocolate (wtf.) And what makes it even better is that it’s served with vanilla ice-cream (heck.)
Baby Jiggle Chocolate Cheesecake, Jiggle Cheesecake
Try saying this dessert after a night out. And yes, these things actually jiggle.
Chocolate Burfi, Hermani
This dessert is a traditional Indian sweet, made up of milk, sugar and chocolate (10/10.)
Chocolate Samosa, Cinnamon Club
This is exactly what it sounds like, and let me just tell you that I’m a better person for knowing this exists. Dark chocolate and whipped cream? Yes please.
Chocklava, Jasmin 1 Lebanese
Far out, just keep them coming.
VIC
Chocolate Grasshopper, Fine Affair
Think of the fancy looking drink that you see people order on movies. This drink is just a stellar, gourmet, mint chocolate, milkshake version.
Chocolate Harumaki, Ichi Ichi Ku Izakava
This one is an Asian appetiser that’s been smartly adapted into a dessert.
Chocolate Fudge Sanga, Deserts Delivered
Everything about this sounds like a great time with not a lot of regrets to be had. This dessert has Belgian chocolate ice-cream smooshed between two almond cookies.
