This recipe for Délice au Chocolat Noir (Chocolate Delight) comes from Michelle Hernandez, owner of Le Dix-Sept, a San Francisco based French patisserie on behalf of TCHO, the Berkley-based developer of ethically sourced high-quality chocolate.

Le Dix-Sept is a botanically inspired pastry and confection company. Hernandez says her creations are inspired from childhood experiences, growing up in the Arizona desert and California sunshine, as well as her time living, and training, in France. She learned the art of pastry and cuisine from some of the best including  L’Atelier Joel Robuchon, L’Angle (maison Taillevant) and L’Agape. You can follow her on Instagram @LeDixSept.
