Circa Desserts - Review


Enchante Foods are passionate about helping people make extraordinary food at home with ease, and have introduced the Circa brand of products so that you can make your favorite restaurant quality desserts at home. They use only the highest quality ingredients for the dessert mixes and make it easy for you to bake irresistible and timeless creations.  The four dessert flavors include Crème Brûlée, Flourless Chocolate Torte with Ganache, Lemon Tart with meringue and raspberry coulis, and Salted Caramel Chocolate Truffle Cake. Each dessert contains high-quality ingredients like 70% cacao chocolate, turbinado sugar and real lemon curd.


I recently had the opportunity to review the Flourless Chocolate Torte with Ganache.  I baked it as a special dessert one night since the whole family was together.  With our busy lives, it's not often that me, Jason and all six kids can be together all the time.  When we are available together for supper, we like to make special meals and desserts. 

In addition to the dessert mix, the required ingredients were softened butter, eggs, and heavy whipping cream.  Jason did most of the preparations for the chocolate torte, with some help from me.  Baking the torte and creating the ganache was as easy to do as any other dessert mix.  Although the finished product can be garnished with berries, whipped creme or roasted nuts we chose not to add any toppings. 




The Flourless Chocolate Torte with Ganache was restaurant quality.  It had a deep rich chocolate flavor and was enjoyed by all.  Since it was so rich in flavor, everyone ate just a small piece.  We baked the torte in a brownie pan so it didn't come out looking like the finished product on the box, but that's a fault of our own.  Although the chocolate torte with ganache wasn't fancy, due to our own doing, it was supremely delicious.
 
The website for Circa Desserts has entertaining tips, advice on dessert pairings and tips on how to best make their desserts.

I received product for review.  The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way.  Please do your own research before purchasing products.  Your opinions and results may differ.
