What it is
Chocolate liqueur is a non-alcoholic flavoring made from cocoa beans. It is created by steeping roasted cocoa beans in alcohol and water, then straining out the solids. This process extracts the chocolate flavor into a liquid form.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use chocolate liqueur to add a rich, deep chocolate flavor to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as in ice cream, candies, and some coffee drinks.
Health notes
Chocolate liqueur is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. The FDA has not set specific limits for its use, and it is not typically associated with significant health concerns at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavorings, but specific evaluations for chocolate liqueur are not widely published.
Allergen info
Chocolate liqueur is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
