Pavés 8er Packung: How to Enjoy These Chocolate Squares

Quick answer

Pavés are delicate chocolate squares made from Trinidad couverture and praline mass, rolled in cocoa powder. Serve them at room temperature and store in a cool, dry place to preserve their melt-in-your-mouth texture.

How to serve and store Pavés

1. 1. Bring to room temperature before serving: Take the Pavés out of the refrigerator 15–20 minutes before serving. This allows the cocoa powder coating to soften slightly and the praline center to become creamy. Serving straight from the fridge makes the texture too firm and dulls the flavor. If the room is warm (above 22°C / 72°F), reduce resting time to 10 minutes to avoid melting.
2. 2. Handle gently to avoid smudging the cocoa powder: Use clean, dry hands or a small dessert fork. The cocoa powder coating is delicate and can smudge easily if you grip too tightly. Avoid touching the surface more than necessary. For a neat presentation, place each Pavé on a small plate or parchment paper square instead of stacking them.
3. 3. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong odors: Keep the Pavés in their original packaging or an airtight container at 15–18°C (59–64°F). Avoid the refrigerator unless your room temperature exceeds 24°C (75°F). If refrigerated, seal tightly to prevent moisture and odor absorption. Do not store near spices, coffee, or onions—the cocoa powder will pick up those aromas.
