[Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival 2020] Chez Christophe

February 7, 2020 by Joyce

Another hot chocolate stop I’ve made was Chez Christophe in Burnaby. I remember meeting Christophe at a work conference years ago when he was doing cooking demonstration. That was before he opened his shop in Burnaby. Since then, I’ve been there a few times for pastries, but this was my first time trying their hot chocolate fest creations.

Both of Chez Christophe’s creations are inspired by popular fantasy stories. First, the Ruby Slippers was true to its name, donning a pretty hue of pink thanks to the use of ruby chocolate. I could taste the fruity, acidic note in ruby, combined with the fragrant, floral note of rose water. The two notes actually complemented each other very well. The ruby covered macadamia nuts were a nice combo of sweet and salty.

The Golden Genie was a tumeric white hot chocolate with turmeric, served with a macaron with caramel cardamom ganache.

The use of spices was prominent in all accounts. The flavour of tumeric is an acquired taste, because Mama Lam and Papa Lam didn’t enjoy it as much as I did, despite the health benefits that come with it. Unfortunately the magic lamp stencil didn’t turn up as well as intended, so it was missing the handle. The macaron had good chewy texture but I thought the cardamom flavour was a bit on the lighter side.

Final Thoughts

Ruby Slippers was $6.95 and Golden Genie was $7.25, which I thought was reasonably priced. Overall, I thought the intended flavours came through with both hot chocolates and I really liked how colourful they looked. I will look forward to seeing and trying their creations next year.

Chez Christophe also has a location in South Surrey.
