As exciting as it is to make them for friends and family, storing chocolate desserts properly requires extra care to maintain their quality. Improper storage often leads to premature spoilage. Here are a few storage tips to make sure they remain intact for long.
Refrigeration leads to incidents like sugar bloom that ruin the desserts. It is only needed if the weather is too hot or if the chocolate dessert contains dairy products.
Chocolate absorbs odour from its surroundings quickly owing to its high fat content. Leaving chocolate desserts exposed often ruins their flavour.
Storing chocolate desserts in plastic wrap or non-airtight containers ruins the texture, as air, humidity, and odours are known to destroy the chocolate's quality.
This often causes oxidation, leading to alterations in the flavour and colour of chocolate desserts.
Stacking heavy and warm items on top of chocolate boxes often leads to crushing of chocolate desserts
