So does going gluten-free mean eliminating taste? Let's find out! I received a pack of Dufflet®'s Gluten-Free Chocolate Fudge Tarts yesterday.
Each pack comes with two 3" tarts.
The chocolate fudge tart consists of dark chocolate filling in a dark chocolate crust, topped with bittersweet ganache and white chocolate shavings.
I tend to be very skeptical when it comes to "gluten-free" (or "sugar-free") foods, especially in pastries, baked goods, and sweets. Once I hear the words "gluten-free" I immediately assume that they won't taste good. To be honest, because I don't have Celiac disease I will probably never deliberately choose gluten-free foods. That being said, Dufflet® did a fantastic job with these chocolate fudge tarts. I would've never guessed they were gluten-free. The tarts were rich, decadent, and as scrumptious and as satisfying as any chocolate dessert. Delicious! In this case, eliminating gluten from your diet definitely does not mean sacrificing flavour.
