One of our favourite foodie flicks is the adaptation of Joanne Harris’ Chocolat. (If you haven’t seen it, add it to your watch list immediately.)

There’s one scene in particular that lives rent-free in our minds: Vianne preparing indulgent chocolate treats through the night in her rustic French chocolaterie. The seemingly slo-mo scenes of her crushing open dark roasted cocoa beans, ladling velvety chocolate into moulds and stirring a big bowl of glossy ganache are enough to leave you utterly spellbound…and rather hungry for chocolate.

With the Easter weekend fast approaching and shelves of chocolate temptations demanding our attention in every store, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite recipes for you to live your main character Chocolat moment. From simple rocky road and our hack for pasteis de nata, to wicked mousse cakes and double chocolate hot cross buns, you’ll be sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Bon appétit!
