Experience the Elegance of Minimal's Limited-Edition Fondant Chocolat

Get ready for a delightful treat! Starting February 28, 2026, Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate, renowned for its artisanal chocolates and desserts, will unveil a limited-time offering: the Fondant Chocolat - Sweet Citrus and Brown Sugar Milk Ice Cream. Available at Patisserie Minimal, this seasonal dessert combines exquisite flavors sourced from local farms and crafted into an unforgettable experience.

The Star of the Dessert

This creation brings together the velvety richness of a freshly baked fondant chocolat, spotlighting Ghananian cocoa renowned for its profound flavor. Nestled within this warm, luscious chocolate cake is a unique “water ganache” infused with hints of vanilla and clove. This ganache is lighter since it contains no cream, allowing the chocolate's authentic taste to shine through. When you cut into the fondant, a fragrant aroma lifts into the air, followed by a cascade of warm, molten chocolate that is sure to please any chocolate lover.

A Complement of Flavors

To enhance this decadent dessert, Minimal has paired the fondant with a sophisticated brown sugar milk ice cream. This adult-oriented ice cream is crafted from a fruity awamori base, featuring brown sugar and black rum, and includes crispy elements from a brown sugar feuilleté for added texture. The bold yet sweet flavor profile of the ice cream melds beautifully with the intense richness of the fondant, creating a delightful contrast that excites the palate.

Seasonal Citrus Touch

The dessert also features sweet citrus fruits from Zenbei Farm in Wakayama. A carefully prepared citrus syrup is created by simmering the peels, which unlocks a delightful bitterness along with juicy segments of the fruit. This fresh and zesty component accentuates the cocoa's depth and adds brightness to the overall flavor.

A Burst of Berry Bliss

To finish off this elegant dessert, a cloud of lightly whipped cream crowns the fondant, garnished with luscious Tochiotome strawberries harvested from Kazehaya Strawberry Farm in Ibaraki. The strawberries add a burst of freshness and serve as a visual and flavorful nod to spring, complemented by a sprinkle of pistachios and candied citrus peels.

Minimal prides itself on the artistry of chocolate making, using high-quality cocoa sourced from various regions, where they conduct fermentation and drying research to ensure premium flavor development. The team ensures a sustainable approach—empowering cocoa farmers while delivering exceptional products that have received over 103 awards in international competitions.
