Made overseas in the company’s Swiss factory in Kilchberg, right next door to the Lindt Home of Chocolate, the Tiramisu flavour brings together coffee and milk chocolate with a smooth melting centre.
Lindt's Master Chocolatier, Thomas Schnetzler, told Food & Drink Business that the NPD team was always able to be creative with Lindor, and put spin on some unique and delicious flavour combinations.
“Tiramisu of course is an absolute classic dessert and a flavour that people have loved and embraced,” said Schnetzler.
“The filling uses some mascarpone for that authentic Tiramisu flavour for example, some biscuit pieces to give that flavour and texture of the sponge fingers, and of course coffee as well. But it always takes a bit of balancing to find the right balance and make sure that the chocolate flavour shines in the recipe.
“Making the Lindor recipe in a block form is quite different from creating a truffle. When savouring a block, you get a slightly different ratio of chocolate to filling, which in my view, makes the delicious chocolate more of the focus and the star of the show.”
The new Lindor Tiramisu blocks are now available at Coles, Woolworths, IGA, and Big W for RRP $8.50.
