The Marquise de Chocolate da Avó Ninhas is available in stores for €9.99 and comes with six portions.

As reported by NiT, the dessert is inspired by a family recipe and is designed to be served straight from the freezer once ready.

Family recipe

The recipe keeps things simple, combining chocolate, eggs, butter and sugar without artificial colourings or flavour enhancers.

This creates a rich, creamy dessert that requires little prep, making it ideal for family lunches, dinners with friends, or occasions when you need to serve several people.

Instead of spending hours preparing a chocolate dessert from scratch, consumers can keep the marquise frozen and serve it when needed.

Plenty of options

The marquise can also be adapted depending on how you serve it.

For example, fresh berries can create a sharper contrast to the chocolate, while chopped nuts add extra texture.

This dessert joins the Comida Fresca frozen range, which features an array of ready-made meals produced in Pingo Doce’s own kitchens.

Other recent additions include Fish Moqueca with Prawns, Cod with Spinach and Goat’s Cheese, Squid Jardineira and Pulled Pork Pie.

Homemade flavours

This range is aimed at people looking for convenient meals on busy days, with dishes that can be prepared in the microwave or oven rather than requiring a full recipe from scratch.

As reported by the brand, professional cooks prepare the meals while retaining the flavours associated with home cooking.

The new chocolate marquise taps into a familiar dessert style, with the convenience of a ready-to-serve frozen product.

At €9.99 for six portions, it works out to around €1.67 per serving, making it an option for those planning a group meal without having to make dessert themselves.
