Creamy Orange – Vegan Chocolate Orange Bar, 43% Dairy-Free Orange Mylk Chocolate

A vegan chocolate orange bar, done properly

Forget the foil-wrapped one you tap and unwrap at Christmas, this is a grown-up, dairy-free take on chocolate orange. Creamy Orange pairs our smooth 43% mylk chocolate with a splash of orange oil, so the citrus tastes fresh and bright rather than syrupy, with a warm, caramel-like sweetness from coconut blossom sugar underneath. It’s the vegan orange chocolate we wanted to eat ourselves.

“It took dozens of attempts to balance the orange with the chocolate and the creaminess of the mylk,” says Ben Popple, our founder. “Now some customers tell me it tastes the way a vegan chocolate orange bar should, and others say it’s the best they’ve tried.”

How we make dairy-free orange chocolate this creamy

There’s no dairy here and no nut milk either. We use a creamy blend of oat, rice and lucuma fruit, the same mylk that runs through all our dairy free milk chocolate, with plenty of cacao butter for a smooth, rich melt. Our mylk took over 50 attempts to get right (some batches along the way tasted more like porridge than chocolate – now it has the perfect balance of chocolate and creaminess).

Raw, unroasted and made in small batches

Even our sweetest bars start with single-origin Criollo cacao from a farmers’ cooperative in Peru, and we never roast it. Most chocolate is roasted at 120-150°C, but we stone-grind unroasted cacao nibs below 42°C for 60-80 hours, then mould every bar by hand in small batches.

We’re an award-winning maker, with a Great Taste Award and a best raw product award at a major vegan festival, and we’re rated 4.6 on Trustpilot and 5.0 on Google. Asking can vegans eat chocolate more generally? We’ve answered that in full.

A 35g bar slips easily into a stocking, and a 75g bar is the one to break up and pass round after Christmas dinner. You’ll also find Creamy Orange in our Sweet and Creamy and Fresh and Fruity collections, 10 bars each, which we can send straight to someone else’s address. You can include a short handwritten note – just let us know in the order notes. Our last order date for UK delivery before Christmas is 4pm on Monday 21 December.

Creamy Orange FAQs

Creamy Orange FAQs

Is this like a chocolate orange?

It’s our dairy-free, vegan answer to one: sweet 43% mylk chocolate with a fresh, zesty orange note, made with unroasted cacao and no dairy at all. It comes as a bar rather than a ball, so you snap it instead of tapping it. Forget Terry.

How is the orange flavour made?

With a splash of orange oil, 0.5% of the bar, rather than any artificial flavouring. It’s the last ingredient in the declaration, and it’s why the citrus tastes fresh and bright rather than syrupy.

What makes it creamy if there’s no dairy?

A creamy blend of oat, rice and lucuma fruit, the mylk we use in every one of our mylk bars, with cacao butter for richness. Together they give a smooth, melting texture with no dairy and no nut milk, and the lucuma adds a light, natural sweetness.

Is it vegan and dairy-free?

Yes to both. This dairy free chocolate orange contains no dairy or other animal ingredients, and it’s made in our dedicated vegan, dairy-free and nut-free facility. Searching for a lactose free chocolate orange? Those are the facts we can give you: no milk of any kind goes into the recipe.

Is it free from nuts and other allergens?

It’s free from the top 14 allergens and made in our dedicated vegan, dairy-free and nut-free facility under stringent HACCP controls, with ingredients from suppliers who don’t handle nuts. We don’t carry out end-product allergen testing, so we can’t offer a legal guarantee. If you have a severe allergy, please get in touch.

Where does the cacao come from, and how is it packaged?

Our cacao is single-origin Criollo from a farmers’ cooperative in Peru, fermented for five days and sun-dried. Our packaging has been plastic-free since we started in 2007, right down to the parcel tape: certified home-compostable inner wrapping, an outer box of recyclable FSC card printed with vegetable inks, and plastic-free alternatives to bubble wrap.

What sizes does it come in?

Two: a 35g bar and a 75g bar, both on this page. The 35g is a treat for one, and the 75g goes further when you’re sharing. Orders over £25 come with free UK delivery.

How should I store it, and how long does it keep?

Somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. We don’t recommend the fridge or freezer, as that can affect the texture. Its best-before date is normally at least 12 months from the day you order.
