📝 FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes — it often tastes even better after a day. Cover and refrigerate, bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Is flourless the same as gluten‑free?
Often yes, but always check labels. “Flourless” means no wheat flour, but other gluten‑containing ingredients could be used. Using certified gluten‑free chocolate ensures safety. Handle the Heat
What kind of chocolate should I use?
Use high‑quality semi‑sweet or bittersweet chocolate with 60‑70 % cocoa content. The richer the chocolate, the deeper the flavor.
Can I add flavors or toppings?
Absolutely. Try orange zest, sea salt, raspberry puree, or whipped cream for added flair.
