This is the plainest chocolate in the Connoisseur tub range, and it works by layering the same flavour rather than contrasting it with anything else. A chocolate ice cream base, then a swirl of chocolate sauce made with Belgian chocolate through it. The base uses both cocoa powder at 3% and cocoa mass at 2%. Those do different jobs: cocoa powder brings the dry, bitter edge, cocoa mass brings the fat and the smoother mouthfeel, so using both gives more depth than either would alone. Cream sits at 29%, which is high, and there's a small amount of Belgian white chocolate at 0.5% in the swirl. No nuts, no biscuit, no second flavour anywhere in the tub.
