and
the
Vegan
Chocolate
Factory
What
if
I
told
you
that
you
could
have
a
delicious
chocolate
dessert
and
not
feel
guilty?
What
if
I
told
you
that
you
could
have
a
beautiful
sweet
creation
free
of
refined
sugar?
What
if
I
told
you
that
there’s
a
place
named
after
your
madness
for
chocolate?
La
Folie
Du
Chocolat,
which
directly
translates
to
“To
Madness
of
Chocolate”
is
the
cutest
little
gem
buried
in
the
dusty
by-lane
of
Kalaghoda,
Fort.
As
an
ardent
lover
of
chocolate,
I’ve
made
it
my
personal
mission
to
hunt
down
the
most
delectable
chocolate
heavens
in
Mumbai.
This
little
patisserie
is
the
birthplace
of
the
prettiest,
tastiest
and
perhaps
the
healthiest
chocolate
creations
I’ve
come
across
to
date.
The
greeting
on
the
doorstep
which
aptly
says
“surrender
yourself”
is
beautifully
aligned
to
the
vibe
of
this
place.
That’s
precisely
what
I
did:
surrendered
myself
to
the
dainty
décor
of
the
place,
inhaled
the
light
scent
of
chocolate,
ogled
at
the
creatively
designed
pastries
and
chatted
with
the
friendly
staff,
ready
to
help
with
suggestions!
This
little
cake-shop
is
like
a
secret
pit-stop
for
your
dessert
cravings.
The
soothing
colour-scheme
used
to
decorate
the
joint
is
sharply
contrasted
by
the
burst
of
colours
used
to
create
the
wide
array
of
chocolates,
pastries,
bonbons,
cookies
and
macaroons.
While
I
was
tempted
to
go
all
out
and
try
the
entire
range,
I
decided
to
start
small
and
soak
in
the
flavours
of
one
beautiful
creation.
Here’s
what
I
tried:
1.
Rocher
Caramel
The
Éclair-looking
dessert
is
one
for
chocolate
and
caramel
lovers.
The
base
is
a
moist
and
soft
sponge
cake
coated
with
a
mix
of
milk
chocolate
and
hazelnut.
Next
layer
is
five
generous
dollops
of
whipped
caramel
covered
by
a
thin
layer
of
milk
chocolate
decorated
with
specs
of
edible
golden
design.
Lastly,
the
traditional
cherry
on
top
is
replaced
with
a
golden
hazelnut
on
top
and
I’m
not
complaining!
Here’s
the
catch
though,
you
can
devour
this
entire
creation
and
still
feel
light
because
it
is
completely
VEGAN!
That’s
right,
I
was
in
a
state
of
shock
myself
because
I
didn’t
realise
it
was
vegan
till
after
I
was
done.
The
staff
very
kindly
explained
that
the
base
was
completely
flourless
and
free
of
refined
sugar
and
instead
jaggery
and
avocado
was
used
for
the
same.
Most
of
their
creations
are
completely
vegan
which
means
that
you
can
go
completely
crazy
and
still
not
feel
guilty
about
it!
Apart
from
this,
I
picked
up
a
box
of
9
gorgeous
handmade
chocolates
as
a
present
for
someone.
I
cannot
personally
comment
on
the
taste
of
it
but
going
by
the
reaction
from
the
person
whom
I
gifted
it
to,
I’m
sure
I
won’t
regret
trying
the
chocolates
on
my
next
visit.
La
Folie
Du
Chocolat
creations
are
a
must
try!
Be
ready
to
keep
your
pockets
full
while
trying
the
desserts
here
because
it
will
surely
burn
a
hole
in
your
wallet
(Price
range:
Rs.
150-350
per
piece).
For
the
love
of
chocolate,
this
place
deserves
to
be
visited
and
for
the
love
of
vegan
chocolate,
this
place
deserves
to
be
loved!
