White Chocolate Bark with Lemon and Speculoos

Easy 4-ingredient chocolate recipe, with a lovely refreshing taste. Perfect as a gift for your loved ones or for all kind of cravings!

With May already here, let’s bring some freshness to chocolate and take it to the next level: it is time to (re)discover the amazing combo lemon-white chocolate!

In my diet, chocolate is a must. I could NOT live without chocolate, and I am not even ashamed of my addiction, as long as my standards of choosing a chocolate of good quality stay very high. However, with the warmer months on the arisen, I admit that my taste evolves a bit and I would rather go for a white chocolate instead of a dark one (which is more suitable to somber, cold and rainy days…).

A few weeks ago, I got the opportunity to try some white chocolate bark with lemon and the taste totally blew me away. The marriage lemon-white chocolate brings some freshness and delicate flavor to the whole bite. I tried white chocolate with lime (instead of lemon) before, in my Two-tone chocolate tartlets with lime zests, and it was equally amazing.

This time, as I was going for a walk and pondering over these two recipes, I figured that I should create a new recipe involving white chocolate and citrus. It should be both sweet and refreshing, with a crispy texture as well. Then I thought about Speculoos biscuits and crispy brown sugar (like the demerara sugar). Oh yes, I had to try, it sounded perfect to me!

This past winter, I posted a chocolate bark recipe on the blog (cranberry pistachio chocolate bark – have you tried it yet?) and I was stunned by the simplicity of this recipe. If you are not a baking person or feel too lazy to bake when you receive people for coffee, simply prepare a batch of chocolate bark with topping of your choice. It brings a lovely homemade sweet touch to your coffee break.

And if you want to be a little bit more sophisticated (but still keep it simple), serve this white chocolate bark with lemon and speculoos along with some fresh strawberries and you will get a lovely dessert with a twist!

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
2. Melt the white chocolate in a water bath or in the microwave. If you choose this second option, stir well every 20-second increments to prevent the chocolate from burning.
3. Spread the melted white chocolate into an even layer on top of the prepared baking sheet.
4. Top the whole surface with crushed Speculoos biscuits (with bigger and smaller bites), cover with fresh grated lemon zests and sprinkle some light brown sugar on top.
5. Chill until set, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces or cut with a sharp knife. Keep the bark in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 7 days.
