Chocomalt Cookies: Smart, Indulgent, Cocoa Conscious

With cocoa prices skyrocketing, formulators are under pressure to maintain indulgent chocolate taste without driving up cost. That’s why our Food Innovation Lab developed Chocomalt Cookies, a bakery prototype that blends smart cost-saving with full-flavour indulgence—using Dolcerra 5671 as a cocoa replacement and ABExtramalt ILB10 for a warm, malty depth.

Rethink Chocolate – Without Compromising Taste

In response to the 250% surge in cocoa prices, brands are looking for innovative ways to protect margins while still delivering the rich, chocolatey experiences consumers expect.

Enter Dolcerra 5671—a smart, cost-effective cocoa powder replacement developed by Ingredion. Paired with ABExtramalt ILB10, our Chocomalt Cookies prototype offers a delicious way to reduce cocoa content while preserving indulgent flavour and appearance.

This May 2025 prototype is proof that cost-saving can still taste premium.
