Sweet Freedom CHOC SHOT Cherry has been developed by the UK-based brand as an all-natural syrup product perfect for consumers to pair with their favorite recipes for a nostalgic, better-for-you treat. The product is inspired by the classic flavor of Black Forest cake and cherry chocolates, and boasts a rich chocolate base with tasting notes of the stone fruit throughout. The product is naturally sweetened with no refined sugar, artificial sweetener or additives in the mix, while also being a plant-based, vegan-friendly treat that's a source of fiber.
Co-Founder Deborah Pyner commented on the Sweet Freedom CHOC SHOT Cherry saying, "We’re seeing a real appetite for nostalgic flavours that bring comfort and joy, and Black Forest gateau is such an iconic favourite. It’s all about adding a little moment of feel-good indulgence to everyday foods. As consumers increasingly seek out healthier alternatives that don’t sacrifice taste, CHOC SHOT Cherry offers a guilt-free way to recreate classic dessert flavours at home… with just a drizzle!"
