Chocolate lovers unite! The rich, velvety and just-sweet-enough characteristics of chocolate are truly unmatched. Whether it’s after dinner with a cup of coffee or as a mid-day treat, consider this list of the best chocolate desserts in Corpus Christi a good place to start.
Build-Your-Own Chocolate Box
Bien Mérité Bakery and Restaurant
Choose your own adventure with a build-your-own chocolate bonbon box at Bien Mérité. The chocolate ganache and surprise filling are concealed by a chocolate mold in a rainbow of colors. You can’t go wrong with any selection when chocolate ganache is the star. 1336 S. Staples St.
Chocolate Mousse
Bellino Ristorante
The perfect bookend to a dinner of handmade pasta and wine is the chocolate mousse. Don’t be fooled by the airy texture, this dessert has a rich dark chocolate flavor that counters perfectly with the subtly sweet, barely-whipped cream on top. 3815 S. Alameda St.
Chocolate Churro Cake
Gallery 41
The chocolate churro cake at Gallery 41 combines the quintessential Mexican dessert with a blanket of dark chocolate sauce. The cinnamon and chocolate pairing is a no-brainer–as is enjoying this dessert on the patio with a side of espresso. 100 N. Shoreline Blvd.
Brownie Dessert Bar
Pretty One Cake Co.
Every dessert from Pretty One Cake Co. is top tier, but the brownie dessert bar just might be the richest. On any given day, the brownie bar may be dressed in chocolate icing and sprinkles or caramel and pecans, but regardless, the deeply chocolately and dense brownie base is unrivaled. 6702 S. Staples St., Ste. A

Amaretto Chocolate Cake
Marco’s
You might consider splitting an entree to save room for this rich, double decker chocolate cake. Amaretto and chocolate go together like bread and butter. The nutty flavor of amaretto pairs perfectly with the bitter notes of the dark chocolate and counters the sweetness from the rich chocolate frosting. 525 S. Staples St.
Ultimate Ghiradelli Brownie
Niko’s Steakhouse
This list would be incomplete with the addition of a good ol’ brownie sundae. The one at Niko’s is supreme with the classic flavor of the warm Ghiradelli brownie topped with ice cream, chocolate and caramel sauces, pecans and whipped cream. Order this one with extra spoons for the table; you’re going to need them. 5409 Saratoga Blvd.
