A delice is a French term that refers to a delicious food item, usually a dessert. It can be used to describe a variety of food items, including specialty regional cheeses, but it is typically reserved for desserts. A chocolate delice is a rich chocolatey dessert with intense flavors, secured by the addition of chocolate. It usually consists of two or more layers, with the base being sponge or biscuit-based like a cheesecake, and the middle layer often being a form of mousse or custard. The top layer is optional and can take the form of a fruit coulis or jelly layer. Chocolate delice is often served with fresh fruit, ice cream, or whipped cream. There are many variations of chocolate delice, including a salted chocolate delice with coffee mousse and rum crème fraîche and a dark chocolate delice with coffee ice cream.
