Earl Grey Nama Chocolate 伯爵茶生巧克力
I love ‘Royce’ Nama Chocolate (Nama in Japanese means ‘raw’ or ‘fresh’) and I’m sure no one can resist popping a piece of this heavenly rich flavourful chocolate into their mouths and love it immediately. This small piece smooth creamy chocolate melted in your mouth and burst slowly like a decadent truffle. It is not very sweet as good quality chocolate is used and mixed with whipping cream to form ganache, and then dusted with cocoa powder. So here is my Earl Grey Nama Chocolate recipe adapted from a Chinese cookbook 烘焙新手. The recipe is very easy to follow and the taste is very unique, with a hint of Earl Grey tea and honey in the chocolate. Definitely worth to make this at home for your loved ones.

Total time
Author: Ann Low
Serves: 5-6 servings
Ingredients
- 300g Dark Chocolate (can use Lindt brand or valrhona 70%)
- 180g(or ml) Whipping cream (dairy cream) (measure to 140g (ml) after boiling)
- 12g Earl Grey leaves (I used 6 tea bags)
- 20g Butter
- 1 tbsp Honey
- cocoa powder (varhlorna) for dusting
Instructions
- Chop dark chocolate into small pieces and add butter on it, set aside. (for easier mixing, you may melt the chocolate in double boiler then stir in butter to smooth)
- Heat up whipping cream and earl grey tea bags till a boil at medium heat. Turn off heat, cover for 5 minutes.
- Remove tea bags. Measure cream to 140g(ml) and mix with honey and bring to a boil at medium heat again.
- Pour the very hot cream into chocolate pieces and stir till chocolate melted and smooth.
- Pour chocolate mixture into a 7 inch square pan lined with non-stick baking paper. Leave chocolate to set for at least 2 hours.
- Cut chocolate into small square pieces with a warm knife and dust with cocoa powder. Serve immediately or return the chocolate to fridge to chill.
Notes
Due to the our hot climate here, you need to very quick to cut the chocolate. This is to prevent the chocolate becomes sticky and difficult to handle.
**If you don't like to use Earl grey tea, change to 300g chocolate and 150g whipping cream. Change honey to rum.

伯爵茶生巧克力
材料：
- 300克 黑巧克
- 180克 鲜奶油 (动物性奶油)
- 12克 伯爵茶叶 (我用6包伯爵茶包）
- 20克 牛油
- 1汤匙 蜂蜜
- 可可粉适量
做法：
- 将黑巧克粒切碎和牛油放入大碗中，备用(或隔水加热巧克力至融化才放入牛油搅至顺滑）。
- 在锅里放入鲜奶油和伯爵茶包，以中火煮至沸腾后关火。盖上盖子泡5分钟。
- 拿掉伯爵茶包，量出140毫升鲜奶油伯爵茶后，和蜂蜜一起搅匀加热。
- 然后直接倒入巧克力内搅拌至巧克力融化至顺滑。
- 在一个7寸四放盘上铺上烤盘纸，平坦地填满巧克力后，冷藏2小时，使巧克力凝固。
- 拿出冷藏好变硬的巧克力，用热过的刀子把巧克力切成小方块。沾上无糖可可粉即可享用或收进冰箱冷藏。
- 巧克力主要关键是，放入嘴里时，必须不知不觉的融化，而且要香甜。
- 应为天气炎热的关系，生巧克力很容易变软，就会变得很难切。所以一定要从冰箱拿出来快速的切。
- 不喜欢用伯爵茶叶的话，可改换成300克巧克力和150克鲜奶油。蜂蜜也可以用兰姆酒代替。

喜欢这样的巧克力, 太棒了!
wow tea and choc heaven
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing! Earl Grey is my favorite…but then again, so is chocolate. This is so perfect for me!
老师,巧克力要先隔水煮溶或像图片里面的一样放鲜奶油和伯爵茶包再搅拌溶解都可以是吗?
香香的奶茶味,这巧克力一定很好吃。
我想知道为什么我做好的巧克力,放进冰箱拿出来还是软软黏黏的。
Hi my I know will it melt if i bring it out as a gift as I intend to make it for valetine day?
Hi, i have some problem occur in my batter.. I follow all the step when I pour in w cream to the chocolate mixer.. I started to mix chocolate melted but my batter texture wasnt smooth… and there is waterly(was e butter) came out frm the mixer. Any ideal why? I used the sane chocolate as mention.. 🙁
One of my favorite brand of chocolates too! This seems easy to make but I am sure I would make a mess of it because of our hot weather:P

Hi Victor, 你可能用了courverture chocolate （软性质巧克力），所以放入冰箱很难凝固。
老师，巧克力要先隔水煮溶或像图片里面的一样放鲜奶油和伯爵茶包再搅拌溶解都可以是吗？
Hi Stella, 我是跟步骤里放鲜奶油和伯爵茶包再搅拌溶解巧克力。假如手脚慢的话，就隔水煮溶巧克力比较好。这样巧克力就会很顺滑。
Hi Ann, thank you for the recipe. The result turns great, just need couple more hours in the fridge. My concern is, I could’n’t really taste any earl grey flavour on it. I use 6 dilmah earl grey tea bag and infuse it 5 min after boiling just like your instruction.
Hi Lys, Thanks for trying this recipe. There is only a milkd flavour of earl grey in the chocolate as more chocolate and whipping cream are used. You may tear out the tea bags and boil the leaves together with the cream, soak and drain.
Hi my I know will it melt if i bring it out as a gift as I intend to make it for valetine day?
Hi Jun An, You can put the choc gift box in a cooler bag and better to place in the the chiller within an hour.
Thanks for the reply,may I know can I substitute early grey with green tea?
Sure if you prefer.
Hi Ann, my name is Anthony and I'd like to ask a question about this type of chocolate.
I was wondering, what would happen to Nama Chocolate if I put it into the oven for a couple of minutes? Will it melt just like the photos above or will it keep its fudge texture?
I'm truly grateful if you can spare a few minutes to answer this!
Big thanks before, and love this tea-infused chocolate recipe!!
Hi Anthony, Nama chocolate is a very delicate sweet dessert.. The chocolate will definitely melted like chocolate sauce if you put in the oven.
Hello! I'm gonna try this recipe for Valentine's this year Cause it sounds delicious *o* but I was wondering how big is your tray (to estimate the thickness) ~ I intend to use a heart shaped mold but I'm not sure if I have to use the non stick baking paper as well >o< ~
Hi Aki, my tray is 8 inch that I'd mentioned in my recipe. The chocolate will stick to the pan if you don't line with non stick baking paer.
These are fabulous!!! Being an Earl Grey lover and a chocolate lover, I can't wait to make these because I know we'll LOVE them!
Hi Ann,
Wow, this is such an elegant and delicious looking dessert! Bookmarking this! Thanks for sharing with CYB!
Hi Ann,
I followed your recipe and made a batch of nama chocolate with rum. It was very nice, really taste like the one from Royce.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful recipe!

Looks irresistible! Drooling here …
Hello Ann! I immediately went 2 buy d ingredients after work when I saw this Nama Chocolate Recipe, I managed 2 get d exact ingredients as needed, when I reached home, straight away I started to make but the result was a failure because I did not get a smooth texture instead it was all kind of curdle up into one chunk and as I stirred d chocolate mixture, more oil came out, I tried double boil but it couldn't work out into a smooth texture. Do I have to really cook the cream to boiling point then only can melt d chocolate properly??
Hi Red Velvet, Yes, in my recipe states to a boil meaning the cream must bring to bubbles and turn off heat. Pour directly into the chocolate and stir. If it is still too thick, then place the chocolate under double boil.
There is another way is you can melt the chocolate first. Then pour the hot cream over it and stir well.
Ann, I love Nama chocolate too and have made this once without alcohol. This earl grey infused one sounds interesting and it's also without alcohol, love to try it!
These chocolates look super delish..I feel so tempted looking at the pic..
香香的奶茶味，这巧克力一定很好吃。
Hi, i have some problem occur in my batter.. I follow all the step when I pour in w cream to the chocolate mixer.. I started to mix chocolate melted but my batter texture wasnt smooth… and there is waterly(was e butter) came out frm the mixer. Any ideal why? I used the sane chocolate as mention.. 🙁
Hi Yeow Shaann,
If the texture wasn't smooth enough, you can place the chocolate mixture in a double boiler. Boil the water first and turn off heat. Place the bowl of chocolate mixture on top and stir chocolate to smooth.
The butter separated from the chocolate usually due to over heating the whipping cream and chocolate together or some water drops into the chocolate accidentally.
One of my favorite brand of chocolates too! This seems easy to make but I am sure I would make a mess of it because of our hot weather:P
nice variation of nama.
Wow this chocolate looks incredibly delicious, loving the earl grey flavour especially. Yum!
